I'm trying to identify a song - 1950's or 60's, female artist

Hi :) .

I've been searching for a song which I believe may be a Petula Clark recording. I'm pretty sure it dates from the early 1960's. One line in the song goes something like this:

"Just like the tide, you're changing"

Perhaps I'm mistaken and this is not a petula clark song.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Not too much to work with, but Petula Clark had a song called "Sailor" in the early '60's...here are the lyrics:

SAILOR - 23/02/1961

1 week at #1 - 15 weeks on chart

(Sailor stop your roaming)

Sailor, stop your roaming

Sailor, leave the sea

Sailor, when the tide turns

Come home, safe to me

As you sail across the sea

All my love is there beside you

In Capri or Amsterdam, Honolulu or Siam

To the harbour of my heart

I will sent my love to guide you

As I call across the sea

Come home to me

Sailor, stop your roaming

Sailor, leave the sea

Sailor, when the tide turns

Come home, safe to me

As you sail across the sea

All my love is there beside you

In Capri or Amsterdam, Honolulu or Siam

To the harbour of my heart

I will sent my love to guide you

As I call across the sea

Come home to me

(Sailor sailor)

Hi Kooperman.

Thanks for the speedy response. However, I'm familiar with the song SAILOR and although it does indeed include a lyric about the turning tide, it's not the tune I'm searching for.

The Petula Clark clue may turn out to be a 'red herring', but the song in question is a Ballad style that she does so well. As you say...not much to work with!

Thanks again for your efforts.

At the risk of being chastised for wandering completely off-topic, I just have to comment on RAINBOWDEMONS avatar. That's the funniest thing I've seen in quite some time!(I don't get out much).

Tell me....is that your hand, or did you use a stunt-double? :D

That's not his hand. He keeps his in his pants. :lol:

If you think his avatar is funny, you should see his pic. :o

(it's pick on Joe day) :)

btw: off topic is allowed here. We rarely remember what the original topic was. :unsure:

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
