Downtown Dealing   

During a visit to London, Warner Bros. executive Joe Smith heard "Downtown" and acquired the rights for the United States. - Wikipedia

"Downtown" was the first of 15 consecutive Top-40 hits Clark achieved in the U.S. -- Wikipedia


The record executive

    Who signed her admits

That her fifteen consecutive

   Top 40 hits


Was greater success

   Than he’d had in his mind

When Petula said yes

   To the contract she signed.
