Ihre Hitparaden-Historie ist weniger opulent: “First Cut Is The Deepest“ (UK #18) gilt als ihre erfolgreichste Solo-Single. Dafür ist die Liste der Songs, an denen sie mitwirkte, und die der Musiker, mit denen sie zusammenarbeitete, atemberaubend: “Itchykoo Park“ (Small Faces), “Reach Out (I‘ll Be There)“ (Chris Farlowe), “Come Home Baby“ (Rod Stewart), “Born“ (Barry Gibb), “Sledgehammer“ (Peter Gabriel) usw. Sie sang für die Rolling Stones, war Mitglied der Ikettes, machte Pop, Blues, Soul, Funk und Disco. Ihre bisher letzte Background-Arbeit erledigte sie 2020 für die Fratellis. Am 3. Oktober ist P.P. Arnold 75 Jahre alt geworden.
