Petula Clark appeared on the Sullivan Show for the first time. She performed live
and without rehearsing because her flight had arrived 45 minutes prior to her performance, leaving her with no time to rehearse. That night she sang her
#1 hit “Downtown” as well as “I Know a Place.”

Petula Sally Olwen Clark turned 82 in November.

"Catch a Falling Star", written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss,was released
by Perry Como in 1957. It was his last #1  on the Billboard  “Most Played by
disc Jockeys" chart but not in the overall top 100, where it reached #2. It
was the first single to receive a gold record certification, on March 14,
1958. The record won Como the 1959 Grammy Award for Best Vocal
Performance, Male.

According to the co-writer and longtime group member Bob Gaudio, the
song was originally set in 1933 with the title "December 5th, 1933," and
celebrated the repeal of Prohibition.The lyrics were changed at the urgings
of Frankie Valli and lyricist Judy Parker.

“Love Is Here and Now you’re Gone” was the group’s ninth overall chart-
topper on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song “God Only Knows” was voted # 25 in Rolling Stone
magazine’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and was ranked
by Pitchfork Media as the greatest song of the 1960s.The
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included it as one of "500 Songs
