When Grammy-winning artist Petula Clark met poet-songwriter-singer Rod McKuen in France during the 1960s, they became fast friends. Petula, of course, was one of the biggest music stars in the world and in the midst of a long string of hits in both English and French. For his part, McKuen was a huge fan of Petula, naming her his favorite female vocalist; and by the mid-1970s, they had performed together on several television programs. Inspired by Petula?s recorded versions of his dramatic environmental anthem 'The Wind of Change' and the tender ballad 'I Think of You,' McKuen resolved to put together an entire album of his compositions for Petula just like he had done with Frank Sinatra on his 1969 release A Man Alone. The project was announced, but it took a few decades to come to fruition; finally, after her acclaimed runs with the musicals Blood Brothers and Sunset Boulevard on Broadway and in London, and national tours across the United States, Petula and Rod were able to synchronize their schedules in 2005. Multiple sessions at Hollywood?s Private Island Trax studio and an overdub session in Geneva would yield 20 favorites from the McKuen songbook, passionately and poignantly sung by England?s most successful female singer of the 20th century. A limited-edition, 14-track CD available from Rod?s website and Petula?s fan club quickly sold out, and now SOLITUDE & SUNSHINE - The Songs of Rod McKuen is coming to retail for the first time in a newly expanded edition including
