Petula Clark (Born In 1932) – The Little Shoemaker
Petula Clark hasn’t been on camera since the late ’80s. It is not something to worry about because although her acting career spanned three decades, her singing career has been flourishing for more than seven decades. This made her have one of the longest-serving careers of a British singer.
When Clark released “The Little Shoemaker” in 1954, it quickly charted on U.K. charts. This opened opportunities for international success, and she later released “Sailor” and “Chariot.” She started to dominate U.S. charts with upbeat singles “Downtown,” “I Know a Place,” and “This Is My Song.” Having sold over 68 million records, she is among Britain’s highest-paid musicians.
