UPetula Clark ungomunye wabaculi baseBrithani abadumile engxenyeni yesibili yekhulu lama-XNUMX. Echaza uhlobo lomsebenzi wakhe, owesifazane angabizwa kokubili umculi, umbhali wamaculo, nomlingisikazi. Iminyaka eminingi yomsebenzi, wakwazi ukuzama ngokwakhe emisebenzini ehlukene futhi azuze impumelelo ngayinye yazo.
Petula Clark: Iminyaka Yokuqala
U-Ewell uyidolobha lakubo lomculi odumile. Lapha wazalelwa ngoNovemba 15, 1932 emndenini wodokotela abasha. UPetulla igama elingelona iqiniso elaqanjwa ubaba wakhe. Igama langempela nguSally.
USally osemusha wayibona impi futhi wayevame ukuyikhumbula ezingxoxweni zakhe. Ngaleso sikhathi, wayehlala nogogo nomkhulu futhi, njengoba yena ngokwakhe esho, wayevame ukubukela ukuthi izimpi zenzeka kanjani (ukusebenza emoyeni kungabonakala emzaneni lapho intombazane yayihlala khona).
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi izingane ngaleso sikhathi zazivame ukumenywa ukuba zibhale imiyalezo esiteshini se-BBC. Zasakazwa phambili ukuze amasosha ezwe izindaba emlonyeni wezingane. USally ujoyine. Inqubo yokuqopha yenzelwa phansi kwenye yetiyetha.
Njengoba lona wesifazane ekhumbula, kanye phakathi nesimiso, ukuqhuma kwamabhomu kwaqala. Izingane zaziphephile, kodwa ukuqoshwa kwadingeka kumiswe. Ukuze ngandlela-thile agcwalise isikhathi futhi athulise abantu, u-Sally omncane waya enkabeni yendilinga futhi waqala ukucula. Iphimbo lakhe lenza abantu abaningi bakhululeke. Ngakho, wadlala phambi kwezilaleli okokuqala ngqa.
Ukuqala komsebenzi womculi uPetula Clark
Ngokuthakazelisayo, ngentando yesiphetho, kusukela ebuntwaneni, uPetula uvele eziteshini zomsakazo nakuthelevishini. Lokhu kwenzeka ngenhlanhla, kodwa kwanquma kusengaphambili umsebenzi wakhe wesikhathi esizayo. Konke kwaqala ngo-1944, lapho intombazane idlala endaweni yeshashalazi. Lapho, uMaurice Alvey wamqaphela futhi wathatha umlingisi oneminyaka engu-12 ukuze abambe iqhaza ekukhiqizeni kwakhe.
Lokhu kwalandelwa ngokushesha yinqwaba yemidlalo namafilimu. Umsebenzi onjalo wakhulisa entombazaneni uthando lwesiteji. Waqala ukuba nephupho lokuba ngumculi okhokhelwayo. Nokho, wayengakaqondi ukuthi yini ayithanda kakhulu - ukulingisa kumafilimu noma ukucula.
Kuze kube ngu-1949, ekhula, uClark inkanyezi kumafilimu, wadlala emidlalo yaseshashalazini, wabamba iqhaza ezinhlelweni ezahlukene zethelevishini nezinhlelo. Ngo-1949, wahlangana no-Alan Freeman (wayengumkhiqizi osafisa). Naye, le ntombazane yaqopha izingoma ezigcwele okokuqala ngqa.
Iculo lokuqala langempela libhekwa ngabaningi njengelithi Beka Izicathulo Zakho, uLucy, elakhiwe esitudiyo se-EMI. Nokho le lebuli ibingafuni ukukhipha ingoma futhi ibingazimisele ngokusayina isivumelwano esigcwele sokusebenzisana. Ebona lokhu uFreeman wancenga uyise ukuthi azenzele eyakhe ilebula.
Yile ndlela i-Polygon Records yazalwa ngayo, eyadalwa ekuqaleni ngokuqondile ukukhiqiza u-Clarke. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izindleko eziyinhloko zelebula zahlanganiswa ngumdlali.
Isungulwa njengomculi...
Noma kunjalo, inani lezingoma ezidumile zakhululwa engxenyeni yokuqala yawo-1950. Isibonelo esihle kakhulu i-Little Shoemaker, eyaba ingoma yokuqala yangempela yamazwe ngamazwe. Yahamba phambili emashadi e-UK, Australia nase-US. EMelika, waduma eminyakeni engu-13 kuphela ngemva kokukhululwa. Lokhu kwenzeka ngesikhathi abathandi bomculo baseMelika beqala ukuthenga amarekhodi emhlabeni wonke futhi ngephutha bezwa ingoma kaPetula.
Ngo-1957, kwaba nohambo oluya eFrance. Le ntombazane yakwazi ukwenza kusihlwa ekhonsathini enkulu kunazo zonke "i-Olympia", futhi yaphetha inkontileka ezuzisayo nelebula leVogue Records. Kwakukhona nokujwayelana okumnandi noClaude Wolff. Ngenxa yakhe, wavuma ukusayina inkontileka nelebula, futhi nguye owaba ngumyeni wakhe esikhathini esizayo.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1950 no-1960, umculi wanquma ukugxila eYurophu. Ilebula yammema ukuthi aqophe izingoma ngezilimi ezahlukene. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, umculi waqala ukuhlola isiNgisi, isiFulentshi, isiJalimane nesiBelgium. Kuye ngolimi lokusebenza, izingoma zaduma kakhulu. Inani elikhulu nakakhulu labalaleli lafunda ngalo mculi. Le ntombazane yaqala ukumema ngenkuthalo ohambweni ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene. Uzuze abalandeli abaqinile kulo lonke elaseYurophu.
Ukuthuthukiswa kobuhlakani bukaPetula Clark
Ngo-1964, umculo kaClarke wawungasenanzuzo. Ukuze ngandlela-thile axazulule inkinga, uTony Hatch, umbhali nomqambi, weza endlini yakhe. Wamtshela ngemibono emisha yezingoma zesikhathi esizayo, kodwa akukho nokukodwa kokusikisela okwaphefumulela intombazane. UHatch wabe esemkhombisa umsebenzi ayeze nawo ohambweni. Kwakuyinguqulo yedemo yeDowntown. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi bobabili abaculi babethanda inguqulo yokugcina yengoma, abazange baqaphele ukuthi iyiphi impumelelo eyayimlindele.
Ukwakhiwa kwenziwa ngezilimi eziningana futhi kwaba i-XNUMX% hit emazweni amaningana - e-UK, USA, Australia, Germany, France, Belgium, njll. Irekhodi lathengiswa ngezigidi zamakhophi emhlabeni jikelele. Kwezwakala ngisho nasezindaweni ezikude kakhulu zeplanethi.
Kodwa lokho kwakuseyisiqalo nje. Ngemva kwengoma yokuqala eyashisa izikhotha, wakhipha ezinye ezingu-15. Iningi lezingoma lithathe izikhundla ezihola phambili kumashadi omhlaba futhi lathola imiklomelo ebalulekile (kuhlanganise nendondo yeGrammy). Kwaqala umsebenzi wekhonsathi onesivunguvungu. Lesi sihlabani esisha simenywe ezinhlelweni ezahlukene zethelevishini. Wenze umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu kumabonakude. Ngemva kwalokho, u-Sally wabizwa ukuba abe ngumsakazi wezinhlelo eziningi zethelevishini, ikakhulukazi zaseMelika.
Ngawo-1970, owesifazane wavakashela umhlaba ngenkuthalo. Uphinde wabamba iqhaza emikhankasweni eyahlukene yokukhangisa (kuhlanganise ne-Coca-Cola). Ngawo-1980, kwaba nekhefu elide emsebenzini wakhe. Kwakungenxa yokuthi uClake wayematasa kakhulu nomndeni wakhe.
Kusukela ngo-1980, wabuyela emculweni, kodwa wayeka ukwenza amafilimu. Izingoma ezintsha zazikhishwa ngezikhathi ezithile, umculi wahamba ngenkuthalo e-Europe nase-USA.
