Sign of the Times: Flu, RSV, and COVID-19

Posted by Paula Scott on Thursday, October 5, 2023

By Karen Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

In March of 1966, Petula Clark released the Sign of the Times on her My Love album. The song was written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent, who wrote several songs for Clark. The song was previewed for the American public on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 27, 1966. The song peaked at 11 on the Billboard Top 100. The title would indicate a political statement, but in reality, it was a love song. 

Petula was born Sally Clark in England to parents who were both nurses. Her father invented her stage name of Petula and she was sometimes referred to as “the First Lady of the British Invasion.” Petula lives in Geneva, Switzerland and is still performing at the age of 90.
