History
Petula Clark's Downtown album was originally released in 1965, following the tremendous international success of its title song. Written and produced by Tony Hatch, "Downtown" became Clark's breakthrough hit in the United States, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1965. The recording also earned her a Grammy Award for Best Rock & Roll Recording.
Although Clark had enjoyed a successful career in Britain for many years, "Downtown" introduced her to a much wider American audience and helped establish her as one of the most recognizable British female vocalists of the 1960s. The album features twelve recordings, including several songs written or co-written by Tony Hatch, whose arrangements and production played an important role in Clark's international success.
