On
April
25th,
1990
the
curtain
fell
on
the
final
London
performance
of
Someone
Like
You,
a
musical
love
story
set
in
the
American
Civil
War.
For
Petula
Clark
the
dream
that
she
had
pursued
for
fifteen
years
was
over.
Someone
Like
You
was
first
conceived
in
the
1970s
when
Petula
travelled
through
the
rugged
landscape
of
West
Virginia
and
became
inspired
by
the
setting.
In
the
1980s
Petula
began
creating
her
own
original
stage
musical
with
Dee
Shipman,
an
established
writer
known
for
her
collaboration
with
Charles
Aznavour.
Someone
Like
You
enjoyed
a
successful
tour
of
England
throughout
the
winter
months
of
1989
and
co-starred
Petula,
Dave
Willett's
and
Clive
Carter.
Despite
positive
notices
from
the
critics;
the
show
was
fraught
with
backstage
problems
and
artistic
differences
resulting
in
a
much
changed
production
that
West
End
audiences
saw
in
early
1990.
Aside
from
a
handful
of
recordings
that
have
been
issued
on
various
albums
the
majority
of
the
work
from
Someone
Like
You
remains
unheard
as
a
complete
cast
album
of
the
show
was
never
recorded.
As
with
so
many
unsuccessful
musical
productions,
hundreds
of
fine
songs
and
performances
become
lost
with
time.
For
this
reason
it
was
felt
that
a
record
of
Petula
Clark
and
Dee
Shipman's
compositions
needed
to
be
made.
The
idea
came
to
fruition
in
August
2006
when
Kenny
Clayton
agreed
to
produce
new
arrangements
for
twelve
songs
from
Someone
Like
You.
Clayton
was
the
obvious
and
only
choice
for
the
project
having
worked
as
musical
director
/
arranger
on
the
original
production.
The
voices
selected
to
showcase
these
songs
for
this
recording
were
chosen
for
their
unique
vocal
talents
and
qualities.
The
rich
and
youthful
voice
of
former
Pop
Idol
finalist
and
West
End
star
Andrew
Derbyshire
highlights
the
contemporary
edge
to
these
songs
while
singer
Debi
Doss
performs
the
material
with
clear,
crisp
intonation,
allowing
her
voice
to
convey
the
sentiments
of
Shipman's
lyrics.
Finally
to
create
an
appropriate
bond
with
the
original
production,
Lewis
Rae
(who
played
the
role
of
Andy)
was
invited
to
sing
on
this
recording
and
Leigh
Lawson's
narration
forms
a
link
between
the
songs.
