I MET CLIFF IN 1961 WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER TRYING TO SING EVERY ONE OF HIS SONGS WITH MY BAND. I THEN MET HIM AGAIN ON HIS TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA IN 2008. HE HAS AN INCREDIBLE RELAXED VOICE AND SINGS FROM THE HEART. WHAT A PITY HE NEVER MADE IT IN USA! THEY HAVE MISSED OUT ON A GREAT TALENT AND PERSON!! I STILL LOVE TO SING HIS SONGS 50 YEARS DOWN THE LINE!.
Heavens to Murgatroid! What an absolutely awesome version of one of the most beautiful ballads from the 50's. Especially the use of those strings! What a joy to listen to today for the first time! Thanks for posting it! Didnt' need to read the info to see it's from the 80's...the viewer can easily telll from Cliff's hair & his outfit! :)
cliff version of this song was the first i had ever heard back when i was 7 yrs old when i first became i fan of his 23 yrs latter is still one of my favourites of cliff
Thanks for sharing this & all your other Cliff vids through Youtube, I'm hooked. I spend a lot of time at my computer so have Youtube on as a background, with Cliff is magic.
Its better than sifting through videos & dvds for certain songs.
Take Care & thanks :-)
PS In March I had the honour of attending 2 concerts of his with The Shadows in Christchurch, New Zealand..............Amazing......magical :-)
Lucky me! I'll see Cliff at the RAH on October 12 - thanks to my London-based niece who booked for me (can't book from USA) and a friend I met at the TM concert who invited me to come to her place so that we could travel together from Liverpool! I can't wait!
This Concert is one of the best Cliff Ever did!! This song brings many great memories back. This version is stunning , and Cliff is just a professional no Question. Long May he reign.
I have the CD, and I absolutely swoon over this song and Cliff's melodious voice. I've been his fan for 46 years, and finally got to see him in concert last year and this year although I had to travel 10,000 miles! And I want to see him again!
Didn't know Cliff did this song, I'd heard it by Peter & Gordon (pity the video by Peter & Gordon are not too clear) but hey! Cliff you did a very good job. Just sing more of these songs during your live performances!!!!
@keithyoong happy 50th anniversary concert to cliff richard ......i like the good looking guy best wishes to all celebrating anniversaries today..congratulations to cliff richard you are the best entertainer at all season ,great job..we love cliff richard....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree.he is the british king of rock and roll and still going strong to this day.he has never made a dull or boring record.he is in my book simply the best.
Having watched the video a second time I have upped the ante. I think Cliff looks and sounds great. The London Philharmonic backing is superb - all class.
At our 1963 wedding,my wife Mary and I had Buddys' version played as"oursong"...although Marys' favourite singer was and still is Cliff.This recording of"oursong" by Sir Cliff means that after all these years,it's even more meaningful. Back in 1979 I had the pleasure of meeting Buddys' widow Maria Elena and she told me how very special that song was to her.
He catches up!! Thanks Lord!!!

Must agree with earlier comment Cliff being the best male singer out of the UK, give him a song to sing and he makes it his own. Just Brilliant.
