Review by salvatore guadagno

Petula Clark's album Alone Long Before I Knew You is a reflective and emotional journey through the ups and downs of love and life. The album features Clark's signature vocal style, which is both powerful and vulnerable, and her ability to convey the deepest emotions through her music is on full display.

The album's title track, "Alone Long Before I Knew You," sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its haunting melody and introspective lyrics. Other standout tracks include "The Windmills of Your Mind," "Blackbird," and "I Know What Love Is For." Each song showcases Clark's ability to infuse even the simplest lyrics with deep meaning and emotion.

Born November 15, 1932, in Epsom, Surrey (England). She began as a singing child prodigy in the U.K. at the age of 9. Promoted and tutored by an enthusiastic father, she had started singing professionally at the age of seven and became a familiar singing voice on wartime radio and in concerts for the troops. By the end of the 1940s she was an established singing star and she also appeared as an actress in many films of the era working with such stars as Peter Ustinov, Anthony Newley and Alec Guinness. Petulas first recordings were Rank promo 78s in 1949 and her first commercial recording was House in the sky / Put your shoes on Lucy for Columbia in 1949. Her first major recording contract was with Polygon Records in 1950 and her first chart success was in 1954 with The little shoemaker which also got issued on 45 and 78 in the USA. A series of chart successes continued in the U.K. from the 1950s to the early 70s Including two #1s Sailor and This is my song. In 1988 a remix of Downtown brought her back to the UK Top 10. Her breakthrough on the continent was in 1957 with With all my heart hitting the upper reaches of the Dutch and Belgian charts, and Petulas first French language hit the same year was Histoire d'un amour. Petula married Frenchman Claude Wolff in 1961 by which time she was already one of Frances top girl singers and through the 1960s big hits such as Romeo, Ya ya twist Coeur blessé Chariot Que fait tu là Petula" and Cest ma chanson. In 1962 Petula topped the German charts with Monsieur which she only recorded in the German language which won her a gold disc there and she also topped the charts in Italy and Spain with songs sung in Italian and Spanish. In 1965 Petula finally broke America with her number one double Grammy award winning song Downtown and she won another Grammy for the follow up I know a place and in 1966 she became the first British female singer to top the American charts twice with My love in 1966 and voted Top female singer by Cashbox music trade magazine and in 1968 by Playboy magazine. Petula hit the American Top 40 15 times in three years. Petula has continued to record and appeared in concert all over the world and in 2012 her Cut copy me hit the Belgian pop charts and a dance remix hit the club charts all over Europe. Petula was back on the British album charts in 2013 with Lost in you and in 2016 with From now on. Her brand newly recorded French-Canadian album Vu dici peaked at #39 on the ITunes daily national chart in Canada in 2018 and in 2019 a hits album reached the physical album and sales chart in the U.K. 70 years after her first record release.

Summary by salvatore guadagno

The album is a departure from Clark's earlier, more upbeat pop hits, but it is a welcome change. The songs on Alone Long Before I Knew You are more mature and introspective, and they showcase Clark's growth as an artist. this is a beautiful album that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved and lost.

Have this on both 45 and 78. Such a fast paced song it "sounds" better on a 78.

Love Petula's voice but I can't say that I care for the tempo at which this version is sung; in my personal view, it's better when sung at a straight "ballad" tempo.  The bongo drum effect somehow takes away from the lyrics' message.
