Happy birthday, Petula Clark.
She was a child star who went on to greater fame as an adult. She's best known for her hit songs of the 60s, most written by Tony Hatch. Her biggest number in America was "Downtown," which conjures up an era.
It's since been used by some high profile TV shows:
I believe Lost originally wanted a Talking Heads song (the CD Juliet pulls out is Speaking In Tongues) but couldn't get the rights. Actually, a Tony Hatch song would work better with Desmond.
I think my favorite of hers was "A Sign Of The Times."
Pick up that hat!
The song was eventually used to sell tires in one of the more surrealistic ad campaigns of the late 60s. Was Don Draper behind this?

My retinas were burned by the colors in "The Sign of the Times"
Was that Bob Fosse choreography? Sure highlights skilled movement versus stilted movement.
Couldn't be Bob Fosse--he was already a major Broadway choreogapher. Anyway, it's more Michael Bennett's style.
