The multi-talented entertainer Bobby Darin died on December 20, 1973. On February 2, 1973 The Bobby Darin Show featured this duet with Petula Clark.

This video was glommed from YouTube. A few dropped frames here and there, but otherwise a nicely done transfer.
The night before taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test in high school, I worked at my part-time job as a short-order cook. I had a hard time getting to sleep, and I woke up the next morning exhausted, hearing a certain then-recent song playing on the radio.
I drove myself with my then-recent license to the next town over, where the SAT was being given. That damn stupid song kept running through my mind the entire time I took the test! This is that song.
How about some more of Petula Clark in Goodbye, Mr. Chips? About 18 minutes more.

Previously on DogRat.com, I featured a video with a brief glimpse of Petula Clark at the infamous 1969 LennOno “bed-in.” The New Musical Express in England is reporting that a DVD of the complete recording session, Give Peace A Song, is being released at the end of the month. NME says…
‘Give Peace a Song’ also features over 35 minutes of bonus material including television interviews, a John and Yoko press conference and Petula Clark’s visit to the bed-in.
This is confusing, because Amazon.com lists the DVD as having been released in 2006. One of the DVD chapters is “Petula Clark Visits The Bed-In.”
I don’t know if the NME item is something old that was posted in error, nor do I know how much footage there is of Pet on the DVD, but it sounds like a video worth seeing.
The junky old fiberglass panels are gone forever! There’s a real roof there, at last. You can see where the skylights will be.
