Nº5: PETULA CLARK "Downtown" 1964

PETULA CLARK y su "Downtown", prototipo pop británico que siempre me ha gustado. Es sin lugar a dudas su mayor éxito discográfico, consiguiendo con él ser Nº1 en Gran Bretaña y Estados Unidos.
Cantante inglesa que disfruta de varios talentos: compositora, actriz de cine y televisión, la elegante Petula cantaba esa preciosa canción en 1964 y 1965 (salió a finales del primero).
 Hoy la recuerdo en mi Blog:
LA LETRA:
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?


The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you


Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again


The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now


[Instrumental break]


And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along


So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - don't wait a minute for
Downtown - everything's waiting for you
(Tony Hatch)
