Amazing.

Petula Clark in SENSATIONAL SULTRY MOOD. Here with a distinctive recreation of a absolute Beatles classic. Petula also makes her very own version an absolute classic. Incredible vocals that are pinpoint accurate and a unique take on a much loved song. I LOVE THIS VERSION and I LOVE PETULA CLARK TOO.

[@johnnyray88]

That was the best rendition of that song The fool on the Hill by the wonderful petula Clark.

[@darrenplumpton9737]

It is oh soooooooooooo different and individual and an EXCEPTIONAL rendition of a all time great song. I truly hope that all four members of The Beatles loved Petula's version as much as I do.

[@thomashood252003]

She was truly one of the great ones....

[@darrenplumpton9737]

Thomas Hood.Thomas Petula is still alive and well. She recently appeared on BBC 1's the One Show saying she is about to reprise her role of The Bird Woman in the stage version of Mary Poppins. She as also recently recorded a duet with John Williams Syndicate called New Flag. So she IS TRULY one of the great ones.

[@TheNordog]

Just past her 90th birthday on stage with the Bird lady and the Sontime show on stage.

Love when she watches the orchestra during the instrumental interlude. That is her own musical director at the piano; Frank Owens who would later become musical director on Regis and Kathie Lee.

[@radunegricioiu3398]

Nice cover

[@willminkorea2010]

She did a couple of excellent Beatles covers. Search for her version of "Rain."

I don’t ever remember seeing the show’s orchestra either. They were very good but usually invisible.

[@darrenplumpton9737]

Love the response of the man in the front row of the Orchestra, playing 🎷 Saxophone, who can not BELIEVE just how near the worldwide PHENOMENONAL female vocalist of all time Petula Clark is to him. The look on his face is..... CLASSIC.

Does anyone know what year this was recorded in please?

[@brianzybura8633]

The song, Fool On the Hill first came out in 1967 by the Beatles. During the summer of 1968, Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 released their version of it. We can only guess that Petula Clark worked on the song likely at some point in 1969. If you look under the Ed Sullivan heading, it will tell you that she sang this song on his show on November 2, 1969.

[@hnc52]

This was November 2, 1969

[@MichaelJones-wp6mz]

It’s from her 1969 album “Just Pet”

Damn....what was that about. She was too talented for that kind of crap.

[@darrenplumpton9737]

Billy Martin: When Petula Clark does a cover version of a song she very much likes to put her own spin on it. This is EXACTLY what she as done here. Being a very accomplished songwriter herself she is just showing her audience how she would have written this classic song. very, VERY different from The Beatles original yet still a very CAPTIVATING and Wonderful rendition. You may not like it(and it most certainly is anything but ****as you so very wrongly say) but I think it is a INCREDIBLE version.

[@booifojoe]

Horrible version of a great song.

[@christopheralonge7758]

I love petula Clark. A beautiful lady and amazing talent. BUT this song is Paul's. She shouldn't have attempted this

[@mikeyenfield]

Saw Petula sing this live at the Albert Hall London in 1969 a few days before this performance and it was electrifying..Petula is a song stylist who often puts her own interpretation to songs ..of course Paul’s version is great but I love Petula’s version too of many Beatles songs ,and she was the first to cover Please Please me in French when it first came out .

[@darrenplumpton9737]

Christopher Alonge: PETULA obviously likes this Beatles classic and decided to put a alternative spin on it. I think she did a GREAT job of doing so. It is always nice to have a different interpretation on any song.
