Clifford T Ward ... Up In The World (Esp for Cass)

[LondonSoulMan]

Another one I'd forgotten. What happened to him. Certainly didn't get the recognition he deserved.

[ScunneredMan]

Brill. Pure brill!

[JohnJoeMack]

So simple.....so beautiful....what a cad you'd have to be to slag this off.

Wish I'd known of him earlier.

[oma1020]

beautiful, just beautiful

[97bryony]

another of his very best vocal performances, and some great lyrics - did anyone else ever use the word 'halcyon'?

fond memories of working on my A levels with Steve Merike's Round Midnight show on Radio Trent - he was a great supporter of Clifford and introduced me to his music.

[mirandanne]

This has to be the most beautiful song ever written and sung.

[scalpsie]

@mirandanne I'm so delighted that you enjoyed the song so much ....spread the word!! Peace and best wishes from the Isle of Bute

[robert42468]

cliff richard did this as well but not as good as clifford

[1973nitram]

@robert42468 indeed!

[sirtinycreep]

An amazing song.

[TheDutch1949]

What a fantastic song, still the best version, although cliff richards wasn't bad!

[caravaneriam]

This is great.It captures the feeling of love lost.CTW was simply great.

[Mr1973ian]

Another classic love song from the pen of Clifford T. Ward. Marvellous orchestration by Richard Hewson.Originally on his 1975 Phillips album 'No More Rock And Roll'. Pax to all from 'SoulBoy' Smith. Xxx.

[spooksixsix]

i'd like to think that one day i will be able to listen to the whole song. this song stirs memories. beautiful

[ameCaline07]

..feels like coming home..inside..listening to all this nameless wonderful stuff from Clifford T.W.

...I had a few songs on old tapes..bought the entire collection of albums of emusic for few coins...a treasure...;-)

..but I miss *Water* here on youTube

[mkearley49]

"What ever happened to .. the girl I used to know"

One of the great lines.

[scalpsie]

Totally agree ..good choice and good tatse on your part.Many thanks for viewing.Peace.

[thomasarig]

every song of cliffs is an amazing experience

[headstandking]

I spent a day with CTW in his studio, a few years before he died. One of the best days of my life.

[Mr1973ian]

One of my faves from the great man. Especially love the violins at 1.14. (and the picture of M.M.) Pax to all from "The Southern Soul Master" Ian Smith.Xxx.

[mrmaggonna]

we were 25 years married last week and my wife gave me a clifford t ward album, the very same one we listened to on my cassette player as we drove around in my yellow VW beetle, 25 years dissolved and i was back in 1982, i cried all day listining to the album

[jm9407]

[Wisterialodge]

Who has ever written better?

Timeless

[wilsonwebbward]

a classic clifford t song and another beautiful job by scalpsie..lets hope he is busy with more..hint hint.

[neilstraker]

This is so beautiful, thank you...

[scalpsie]

Much appreciated ...thank you.

[fourbyfourfreak]

halcyon means idilic or peacefull,usually in the past, wonderful times ,where everything is perfect

[P2E1]

What do halcyon mean? Excuse me not knowing.

[P2E1]

Never heard this before.This is great. Thanks

[twold4this]

This was the song I wanted to hear....it has taken me 2 hours this evening to dredge the tune and title from the deep and polluted canal of trivia that is my mind... the mental strain has been worth it! Great song, thanks for posting...now I shall replay and favourite it...ah bliss!

[scalpsie]

I am so delighted that you have found this gem of a song and that it has struck a chord....your kind words and thoughst are very much appreciated.Peace.

[caravaneriam]

Do you know what.I have been playing Clifford T Ward all day periodically listening to this.

His songs are simply superb.

I dont think he hides anything.

Great stuff .

[SENOAJI2002]

This is the song I want. To my surprise, this very night I find that this beautiful song I searched for so long under the (tag) name of Cliff Richard was actually composed by the great clifford T ward. I knew this song when there was only pirated record in my country, just the title and the singer on the cover, no credit for the composer, So I thought this was cliff Richard's (his version is also sweet). No wonder the tune keep on ringing since my childhood time . Thank scalpsie!

[scalpsie]

Many thanks for viewing and enjoying and so happy that it stirs memories for you .... Peace and contentment in all you do.:)

[iandyer]

I am never surprised that his music was never what would be termed "popular". Popular music is "for the moment". CTW's music was, is and always will be timeless. Thank you CTW.

[davemun23]

hi martin

[iandyer]

I am nver surprised that his music was never what would be termed "popular". Popular music is "for the moment". CTW's music was, is and always will me timeless. Thank you CTW.

[YaYaJuke]

[angryman9]

Magnificent

[scalpsie]

Thank you sincerely. Peace. Happy you enjoyed the listen.

[davemun23]

words escape me, i will just listen.

[scalpsie]

Thanks Davey ....love this sound.Peace!

[roz805]

That was just beautiful! Pass the tissues please...the emotion of it was a little unexpected. GREAT JOB ONCE AGAIN!

[tamiyatom]

what an amazing song! I remember this from when i was growing up my parents used to listen to this song alot with other such greats like glen cambell, simon and garfunkel ...this song just floods back the memorys. Actually still trying to find a copy of this song it seems to hard to get hold of. And i also agree with other comments... youth today could learn so much from this generation of music, sadly you know they never will .... thankyou for posting, at least this way its our secret..

[scalpsie]

Many many thanks for your kind comments and views ... lovely thoughts of memories ...Peace and contentment to you! :)

Check your messages!!:)

[obriensheila]

@tamiyatom Cherry Red records are where I get all my CTW cds. Good luck.

[mlsfrost]

yet again cliff delivered a song that really hit the nail on the head at that time in my life. i have yet to come accross another musician who as affected me so much with their music and to all those first time cliff people welcome to musical heaven

[scalpsie]

Once more I truly appreciate your heartfelt sentiments regarding CTW and the music ... let's keep spreading the word ! Peace!

[ctwlittleboss]

[scalpsie]

[scalpsie]

Then it's struck a chord and that's so GOOD!

Keep the sun shining I say!!

[Torchlite6]

your videos are amazing thx and Pax x

[scalpsie]

Many humble thanks...but the music does it for me! xx

[transfixture]

OMG, this man is a genius.

Your work on the videos give it so much atomsphere, they must have taken you so so long, but i'm slowly begining to work out your appreciation towards this artist. This music is produced long before I was even born, and as a rule, my generation would reject it...but our generation are fools, avoid of emotion. Thank you for the lesson

[scalpsie]

WOW! Fantastic...what a beautiful comment...proof that great songs and sentiments and emotions transcend ALL ages...I'm so overjoyed you got such a 'buzz' from it..THANK YOU!Lessons...no charge(free)!I'll treasure this gem of a comment!Humbled.

[abbeyharry1952]

Excellent once again another brilliant touching-moving song and you do it great justice

[scalpsie]

Thank you so much...I just adore the lyrics and sentiments behind...beautifully sung...I think so!

[homethoughts1]

Thank you Pax for another great presentation. This song has been covered by many artists and is one of my fav. Kind rergards and best wishes. Pat and the gang.

[scalpsie]

Many,many thanks Pat...you know I value your contributions greatly...happy you're happy!Thank you greatly...peace!

[englishcharles]

When I bought the No More Rock n Roll album in 1975 i immediately fell in love with this song. Its appeal is instant. It was several years before the song was finally released as a single by which time Cliff Richard had included it on an album and was performing it live. Michael Jackson's she's out of my life was the best selling single in the world in 1980 capturing sales of some 10 million. The melody and lyric delivery is almost identical to up in the world . Clifford T Ward at his very best

[scalpsie]

I just love the information you are giving out to all CTW fans..you make a great contribution to this labour of love. Can't thank you enough. Peace my friend. :)

[cass5455]

Just love it, love it, love it. This is just how I imagined it would be. So sad and moving. Very touching. I adore the clips of Marilyn in this as well. Thank you always Martin. xx

[scalpsie]

Im SO,SO pleased that you enjoy it so much and that it has in part lived up to your thoughts. I always look for your valued comments and then know it's been worthwhile. Thank you endlessly..you'll never know. Peace and contentment always with you. Martin x

[Tena46]

Sweet,sexy,sad..well done..T

[scalpsie]

Many thanks Tena...you've great taste! :)
