It turns out that 60s chanteuse Petula Clark, whose mega-hit, “Downtown,” is assuredly playing on an oldies station somewhere right this minute, has at least one other song to her credit. (In fact, according to Wikipedia, “she is the most successful British female solo recording artist to date.” Wow! Take that Dusty Springfield, Shirley Bassey, Lulu, et. al.)
“A Sign of the Times” isn’t the same song as Prince’s, or the Belle Starrs’, and though it’s pleasant and peppy, an hour from now you won’t recall how it goes. But you’ll probably still remember this mod production number starring Petula and her backup prancers. Watch out for Miss Thing on the right hand of the screen, who gets so into it he loses his hat and then almost falls out of his one-legged flamingo pose. This clip is dedicated to FoF’s New Mexico listeners—Petula’s wearing your state flag. —John Q. Sanchez
Bonus beats: Petula performs her signature song on “Top of the Pops,” with another energetic ensemble.

In this sin-sational song, from the concept album “Sweet Revenge,” the gorgeous, fascinating, and slightly ridiculous Amanda Lear wants to entice you into a life of soulless glamour. “Follow Me” is just the beginning of “Sweet Revenge,” which tells the story of a woman who sold her soul—to Satan!—for fame and fortune. Autobiographical? Maybe! Or […]

Who could ask for more? A: You, after you saw Debbie Harry on the Muppet Show. So here it is! Liza gamely jumps into the role of Lola, the ill-starred love-struck showstopper at the Copacabana, when they used to have a show. Why did we ever trade variety shows for reality shows? Happy Friday—and do […]

Puppets are just drag you wear on your hand, and the Muppet Show was one of the nuttiest, most sophisticated shows on television in the 70s, despite (or because of?) its children’s-TV roots. Here Debbie Harry of Blondie appears to have the time of her life, confronted by Jim Henson’s psychedelic creations at every turn […]

Thanks guys. I always thought they should call the drag show “Flowers in the Attic.” After all, the drag show takes place in an attic and drag queens are like flowers.
