Some of my favourite 60’s female solo artists are Petula Clark and Lulu.
Downtown by Petula Clark always lifts my spirit when I feel down. A nice song for these crazy days of the pandemic. I miss being downtown and seeing the crowds of people jam packed in the coffee shops without a care in the world. I never thought I’d miss crowds.

So ‘C Moon’ means cool, in other words.”
