Petula Clark "I Know A Place" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@Beagle3561]

No auto-tune, no dancers, no fake vocals….no lasers, Just pure Petula. What singing was😢

[@edd7812]

Not even a dedicated mike so she wasn't drowned out by the band and the background singers! Just an overhead out of camera range

[@peterzuehlke]

@@edd7812 that picked up her claps and the audience clapping along. even back then a lot of performances were lip synced. respect.

[@statesresearcher]

and now she's made it to age 92!

[@JRNipper]

Maybe I'm biased, but the music of the 60's and 70's seemed to be the best ever recorded. Drop me off in either decade and leave me there!

[@rtruth8378]

Im coming lol

me too ahah just for a day trip

[@TheStockwell]

It's astonishing how much work and craft went into these three-minute symphonies. It's also amazing how the Big Name Artists had no problem turning out three or more albums a year - then going on tour, giving live performances night after night, month after month. It's as if being a recording star was, you know: a job! Today, a popstar needs five years to make an album - and giving six concerts is considered a tour!

[@AirborneAirAssault6565]

No, you are stating a fact! I loved her dancing! Great memories! I'll take the road trip back in time with you.

[@bobmalack481]

Its the right bias. Quality music dropped off after the '80's. Robert at 67.

This is not an easy song to perform live and not look spent, yet she does it with perfection. The normally reserved Ed Sullivan audience really got into it and how could they not? Petula was captivating.

[@dbswir]

she's so impressive. She makes it look so easy....this song is NOT EASY to sing and her mannerisms were perfect.....she's phenomenal

[@CarlDuke]

Have to disagree here. She sings great and I really like the song, but to me she seems very uncomfortable on stage and not quite sure what to do with her hands, so she gesticulates oddly.

[@ivangranger8494]

CarlDuke 🤔She was a performer for decades, ( live entertainment, composer, studio recording and movies. Finnian's Rainbow with Fred Astaire comes to mind) and is having fun with the audience. Perhaps you are uptight, watching beautiful Petula.

[@Rcity2332]

She ls a great singer, and dancer. A true performer on stage.

@@CarlDuke Petula is one of the last people who would ever be uncomfortable on stage. She was a natural and loved to perform. Also, you've gotta realize this was back in the 60's. Musician's performance styles were a lot different back then.

[@darrenplumpton9737]

AMAZINGLY Petula did not have anytime what so ever to rehearse this for the Ed Sullivan Show. It had taken her forty five minutes from getting off the airplane and getting into a car to take her directly to the studio. She then went on the show and sang "I Know A Place" TOTALLY live as if she had been there all day. With no time for any rehearsals I imagine that is why the band were slightly out of step with Petula's unmatchable vocals. Petula Clark gave a masterclass in how to deliver a BRILLIANT and AWESOME song (Thanks once again to musical genius Tony Hatch) like no other artist could.

[@christopherwalker5351]

At the very beginning, the band started the intro a little too fast. When Petula came in, she took her own tempo, as a soloist should. The director quickly adjusted.

[@charlesdemelia6322]

She is A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y- BRILLIANT and such a warm and sincere person. She as made my life all the more wonderful because of her OUTSTANDING MUSIC.

My favorite Pet Clark song!! She wasn't really a rock and roll singer but her songs still rocked . Since she is also an actress she was able to make this look easy which it wasn't. She will be 90 in November and I hope is still in good health for years to come. I was only a kid of 11 but I still miss the 60s. 1965 was full of fun memories.

You'll notice that the tempo of the song is a little too fast, but when Petula starts singing, the tempo eventually slows down to what basically was on the record of the song.

[@carlwakeland360]

That was a very pro move, the way she pulled the band into the pocket with her singing without batting an eye.

[@mikeyenfield]

Well spotted and part of her American debut too

[@mthivier]

She was such a professional, that if the band hadn't slowed down, she would have adjusted to them. Nowadays, many performers would probably throw a hissy fit and walk off-stage.

[@annemoore733]

Ed had a full timed rehearsal with an audience at 1 PM on Sundays. Apparently Petula had flown in from Paris and just barely made the rehearsal. Same thing happened with the orchestra and Petula stopped the song... unheard of then. For the Live show, she let the orchestra reset itself.

[@AI_Image_Master]

@@mthivier Nowadays the band performs to a click track or an electronic beat, even with a live drummer so they have to follow the beat. Im not sure if so could have sung any faster.
