Depends on where you are. In Philly it's near 90 degrees, so if you played it here it wouldn't freeze. Might melt, though.

Dang thing froze after 52 seconds. How come?

seems to me I remember reading something about Petula Clark appearing on a BBC radio show in l939 when she was about 4 years old. if that's true, and she is still performing today, she must hold the record for the longest career in showbusiness.

I place "You'd Better Come Home" in a Brit pop-blue-eyed soul kind of category; Dusty Springfield or Dionne Warwick could have sung it; Bacharach could have done the musical arrangement. It has that feel. I didn't love it the first times I heard it either--"You'd Better Come Home" is one of those songs whose hooks snuck up on me over time. That may be your experience with it, too. (Or not--as you say, everyone's taste is different.) :-)

You know, WIP played such great stuff that when I hear about a song I never heard them play I always check it out to see what I've missed. I listened to "You'd Better Come Home" today and have to say that it did little for me. But everyone's taste is different, and I nevertheless thank you very much for checking out my channel.

This song, and "You'd Better Come Home," are my all-time favorites of Petula Clark's sixties catalogue. "Who Am I?" blends a bouncy baroque arrangement, Tony Hatch's imaginative, thoughtful lyrics, and Pet's warm, vibrant vocal in all the very best ways--a pop masterpiece.

Matt Patton

One of the smarter pop songs of the time. It's about disillusion and trade-offs and getting on with life. Unusual for the time and our time as well.

her best song

Richard Gray

what a great song, petula sings it from her heart and nails it, she is great.

@MrTrashcan1: There was so much good music in that era crunched in the Top 40 --Rock, Pop and Motown, that it was natural to see Petula and Dusty Springfield hold their own easily against the biggest names in Rock. Petula Clark was also a favorite of Ed Sullivan so she was often on his Sunday night variety show from NY. Downtown (her first big hit in the USA) --when that hit she was already about 30 or 33 --no teenybopper but a very pretty woman with style and a God-gifted voice to match.

@michaelZ1B I don't think I knew what she looked like until later--I never owned any of her albums growing up-- but I certainly loved her songs on the radio.

Check all these album photos of Petula. What teenage boy did not have a big time crush on this pretty woman with a sensational voice.

I love Petula's songs, and her voice, but does anyone else think that she looks like a chicken, especially at 0.56?? LMAO

Excellent montage Mr Can. Fantastic voice (as usual) Miss Clark.

MrTraschcan1: I still live in the Philly area. I'm also familiar with WHAT as well. For years it was black radio station (Mary Mason). Then it became a liberal tak station, and now they play decent music. WPEN, like WIP, used to be middle-of-the road as well; but now, that station is an all-sports station.

MrTrashcan1

Nice to hear from another person who grew up in Philly. Yes, it was MOR up into the '80s until the music was overtaken by sports talk. I don't know if you're still in Philly, but WHAT 1340 AM is now playing a fair amount of this music. Unfortunately, as with the late WPEN, they feel compelled to lump baby boomers together with 80-year-old listeners, so we must listen to swing music, as well, and deal with hearing aid and nursing home commercials.

I was in fourth grade when this song came. One of the many songs that you just don't hear on the radio anymore. And back in '66 WIP was middle-of-the-road; not all sports as it is today.
