When l was at school, a friend bought me a record token for my birthday and l bought ‘Sailor’ by Petula Clark.
It was the first record l ever bought.
My favourite song by Petula is, Downtown.

The film is very non PC now, but if you aren’t easily offended by tobacco growing & a bit of racist thinking, not from the main characters & it is amusingly done, then you’ll enjoy it.
I think it has a good story, though some would be offended by it.

Easy listening at it’s very best.

My older sister had a dress like that and I was so envious, too young Mum said to wear it.

but in todays musical scenes she wouldn’t cut mustard heh??

Yes I can remember all the words even after all these years.

I was really fond of my sailor but he had to keep going to sea. Then one time he came back after six weeks at sea & I’d met Tony - so goodbye sailor.

Thanks Art - yes I think I’m getting better now. :blush:

@gumbud probably not, can sing and only people of a certain age, would understand the meaning.
