Petula Clark

You Can remember Petula Clark for so many reasons - Her acting, her singing or just her beauty. I am filled with her music so much that I do not see her as an actress.

The first I heard of her was when I heard the song "A Groovy Kind of Love" a duet that she sang with Sir Cliff. This song was no patch on the version of Phil Collins and all was forgotten. That was until I came across the eight album set that I was gifted by some one very dear to me.

Those eight albums kept playing on and on and today I ahve to admit I am glad I gave Petula a second chance and did not dismiss her after that disasterous first encounter.

Salut Petula, You are indeed a great singer

Sir Cliff and Ridley Scott

I got hold of one of the podcast interviews of Sir Cliff and on it he has said how much he would like to meet Ridley Scott and how much he admires his work. This is uncanny... I admire Scott's worka nd I am particularly fond of his movie "A Good Year" . It is surprising how much I have in common with Sir Cliff (including liking for Indian food).



Ridley Scott is a director who has churned many great movies, none greater than Gladiator, and has been one of the most admired directors in Hollywood today. I am not too sure about Cliff's observation about him and Scott doing something together. A fan of Cliff I am, however, even I agree that his appeal to a non-cliff admirer today is close to zero. He is giving us great music but nothing that the generation Y wants. Howevr, just for the sake of Novelty I do hope that they come together and do something. If nothing do something for the sake of You Tube and Rapidshare...

Make My Day

I was dusting my old tapes when I came across a cassette that I had almost forgotten about. It is an old compilation that I bought for about 15 Rs. (about $0.40) way back in the 80s. One of the songs on the tape was "Meet me halfway" by Crystal Gayle. It is a beautiful song that I think should be hall of fame but I was surprised to see that it has never been included in any of her "Best of" compilations.

I guess no one works better with "best of" compilations than Cliff Richard. I have three of his best of compilations which are just a song or two away from each other. Why would someone with more hits than any other artist not be diverse in his song choice for the compilations.
