I Couldn’t Live Without Your Music

Petula Clark
Sony Hall
November 6

With the sweet sweet sweet sounds of Petula Clark, I would NEVER sleep in the subway, and you shouldn’t sleep on her and her continuing brilliance either!

Just a week til she turns 86(!!!!), the grand lady showed all the geriatricsÂ and me at Sony Hall that she STILL has the golden pipes, swinging and swaying us thru her groovy and classy back catalog, including tackling a handful of choice covers by the likes of John and Paul, Steve Winwood, Andrew Lloyd Webber x 2 and Peggy Lee

Clark’s fantastic performance had an air of sophistication to it, like spending a refined evening with a chanteuse in a dimly lit basement club, exactlyÂ outlined in her 1965 hit…

I know a place where the music is fine
And the lights are always low
I know a place where we can go

At the door there’s a man who will greet you
Then you go downstairs to some tables and chairs
Soon I’m sure you’ll be tappin’ your feet
Because the beat is the greatest there

All around there are girls and boys

It’s a swingin’ place, a cellar full of noise

It’s got an atmosphere of its own somehow

You gotta come along right now ’cause I tell you

Wherever Petula is – that is the place I want to know, and be at!Â THANK YOU PETULA!!
