Petula Sally Olwen Clark, CBE (born 15 November 1932) is a British singer, actress, and songwriter. She has had one of the longest careers of a British singer, spanning more than seven decades.

Clark`s professional career began during the Second World War as a child entertainer on BBC Radio. In 1954 she charted with `The Little Shoemaker`, the first of her big UK hits, and within two years she began recording in French. Her international successes have included `Prends mon coeur`, `Sailor` (a UK number one), `Romeo`, and `Chariot`. Hits in German, Italian and Spanish followed. In late 1964 Clark`s success extended to the United States with a four-year run of career-defining, often upbeat singles, many written or co-written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. These songs include her signature song `Downtown`, `I Know a Place`, `My Love`, `A Sign of the Times`, `I Couldn`t Live Without Your Love`, `Who Am I`, `Colour My World`, `This Is My Song` (by Charles Chaplin), `Don`t Sleep in the Subway`, `The Other Man`s Grass Is Always Greener`, and `Kiss Me Goodbye`. In the US, Clark was sometimes called `the First Lady of the British Invasion`.

Clark has sold more than 68 million records. She has also enjoyed success in the musical film Finian`s Rainbow and in the stage musicals The Sound of Music, Blood Brothers, Sunset Boulevard and Mary Poppins.
