Petula Clark
Petula Clark, CBE (born November 15, 1932), is an English singer, actress and composer best known for her upbeat popular international hits of the 1960s. With more than 70 million records sold worldwide, she is the most successful British female solo recording artist to date, and is c

charted in Belgium.
Petula Clark - Down Town
[ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/byI ]
When you're alone
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of
the traffic in the c
ity
Linger on the sidewalk where the
neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
forget all your cares and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure,
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
(Downtown
)
Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know
Some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
You'll be dancing with 'em, too,
before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are muc
h brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
forget all your cares and go
Downtown where all the lights are bright,
Downtown, waiting for you tonight,
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
(Downtown downtown)
Downtown
(Downtown)
And you may find somebody kind to
help and understand you
Someo
ne who is just like you and
needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So, maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles,
forget all our cares and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute more,
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
Downtown (downtown) downt
own (downtown)
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
(repeat and fade out)

Mine is of my own mom singing along to the radio cruising in her extremely cool wheels. Late '60s...sunglasses, kerchief over long lack hair streaming down the turnpike on summer's day top down on her baby blue,1967 Mustang convertible. She had the voice. She had the look (mini-skirts and all).
LOL...dare I say the first "milf."
