Petula Clark facts
While investigating facts about Petula Clark, I found out little known, but curios details like:
In 1968, the first instance on US television of physical contact between a black man (Harry Bellafonte) and a white woman (Petula Clark, who took hold of his arm when signing) made it to the screen only because Clark and her husband, destroyed all the takes where the contact did not occur.
50 years ago a white woman (Petula Clark) touched a black man's (Harry Belafonte) arm on American TV and it caused a national commotion
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about Petula Clark I managed to collect.
