PETULA CLARK (above), is a 10-year-old child artist, recently "discovered" by the British Broadcasting Corporation. She was giving a message to her soldier uncle in Iraq, with other children, in the BBC's overseas programme "It's All Yours," and as he usually does, the producer, asking her whether she would like to sing a little song as well as send a greeting, Petula at once started to sing "Mighty Like a Rose" in a voice, the beauty of which startled everyone, including the members of the orchestra, who reached for their instruments and, without music, accompanied her. Next time Petula came to the studio, she came as an artist (a voluntary one, because no child so young is allowed to earn money in Britain), This time she was brought by her father, Corporal L. N. Clark, R.A.C. Robin Richmond, well-known cinema organist, accompanied her on the Hammond organ, as shown in this BBC photograph.
