英國歌壇巨星［佩圖拉．克拉克］──流行／軟式搖滾──［I Know a Place／我知道一個地方］

Every day when the work is behind you

When the shop and the store put the lock on the door

Just get away where your worries wont find you

If you like, Ill tell you more

Ill tell you more

Dont let the day get the better of you

When the evening comes, theres so much to do

You better put on your best and wear a smile

Just come along with me a while

Cause I tell you

I know a place

Where the music is fine, and the lights are always low

I know a place

Where we can go

Yes, I do

At the door, theres a man who will greet you

Then you go downstairs to some tables and chairs

Soon, Im sure, youll be tapping your feet

Because the beat is the greatest there, yeah

All around there are girls and boys

Its a rockin place

A cellar full of noise

Its got an atmosphere of its own somehow

You gotta come along right now!

Cause I tell you

I know a place

Where the music is fine, and the lights are always low

I know a place

Where we can go, yes

Oh, oh, oh, all around there are girls and boys

Its a rockin place

A cellar full of noise

Its got an atmosphere of its own somehow

Youve gotta come along right now!

Cause I tell you

I know a place

Where the music is fine, and the lights are always low!

I know a place where we can go, yes, I do!

I know a place where the lights are low

You will come along this place I know

I know a place where we can go

I know a place where the lights are low

You will come along this place I know

I know a place where we can go

 

 

 

１９６４年，３２歲的英國歌壇巨星佩圖拉．克拉克（Petula Clark）以［Downtown／市中心］登上英國榜冠軍　美國榜冠軍，打入美國市場

被稱為‘英國（音樂）入侵第一夫人’．

 

１９６５年３月，３２歲的佩圖拉克拉克乘勝追擊，推出單曲［I Know a Place／我知道一個地方］（Pye UK／Warner Bros.發行）

由Tony Hatch創作，並製作成一首流行／軟式搖滾，節奏快速．

 

［I Know a Place］登上英國單曲榜＃１７

加拿大冠軍　澳大利亞＃７　法國＃８　德國＃３５　

美國Billboard單曲榜＃３──這是克拉克連續第二首前十名熱門曲．在美賣出７５萬張．

副榜──Easy Listening榜＃１６

［I Know a Place］收再與單曲同名，在美國發行的第二張大碟中，

Tony Hatch製作，樂評良好．

登上美國專輯榜＃４２（英國未入榜）

 

佩圖拉以此曲拿到葛萊美獎最佳當代女歌手．

１９６６ 年，克拉克在談到［I Know a Place］時對《波士頓環球報》表示：

＂無論別人告訴你什麼，在美國取得成功仍然是每個跨大西洋表演者的夢想。

你為此努力。渴望它。”當［I Know a Place］幾乎和［Downtown］一樣受歡迎並且紐約科帕卡巴納俱樂部簽下了我時，我無法告訴你我是多麼欣喜若狂。”

 

［I Know a Place］確立克拉克在１９６０年代中期的模式，通常在美國比在英國更受歡迎。
