<P> Clark introduced "A Sign of the Times" on The Ed Sullivan Show broadcast of 27 February 1966 . The single would debut on the Billboard Hot 100 dated 26 March 1966 and reached its peak of #11 that 23 April . It peaked at #2 on Billboard's "Easy Listening" survey . </P> <P> Beginning with her American breakout, "Downtown," Clark's singles had all had higher chart peaks in the US than in the UK . (The 1966 #23 UK hit "You're the One" was not released in the US .) "A Sign of the Times" became the most extreme example of this discrepancy by spending only one week--that of 23 April 1966--in the UK Top 50 at #49 . Although this trend was reversed with Clark's next single: "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" (UK #6 / US #9), Clark's last two 1966 single releases: "Who Am I?" (US #21) and "Colour My World" (US #16) both failed to rank in the UK Top 50 . </P> <P> "A Sign of the Times" was a hit in Australia (#11) and South Africa (#2). </P> <P> "A Sign of the Times" also served as the title cut for a live CD by Petula Clark released by Varèse Sarabande 13 November 2001 comprising footage from her concert dates at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, Virginia on 20 and 21 May 2001 featuring guests Richard Carpenter and Lou Rawls . </P>
