The artist isn’t always the best judge of material. Petula Clark didn’t hear much potential in the song “My Love,” considering it to be on the slight side. Over the years, her opinion on it hasn’t softened all that much. But audiences loved it, both when it was released in 1966 and in all the years that have passed since. “My Love” helped solidify Clark as the preeminent UK female artist during the British Invasion years, often outdoing her rocking countrymen on the charts worldwide.
