About The Record:

Now, by Petula Clark, is a 1972 pop album that showcases the singer's versatile voice through a mix of covers and original material, blending sophisticated arrangements with contemporary songwriting of the era. It features standout tracks like her interpretation of Wedding Song (There Is Love), a heartfelt cover of the Paul Stookey classic, and My Guy, a nod to Smokey Robinson's Motown hit, both of which became modest Billboard Hot 100 charting singles with Wedding Song (There Is Love) reaching No. 61. Other notable songs include the emotive Solitaire (written by Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody) and Don't Hide Your Love, another Sedaka composition, which highlight her ability to deliver poignant, introspective performances. The album reflects Clark's evolution in the early 1970s, moving toward a more mature and reflective sound following her 1960s pop successes. While not a major commercial blockbuster, it remains appreciated by fans for its warm vocal delivery and quality song selection.
