[carot2003]

Great track..

[Miss96Music]

My mum always sang this to me when I was a little child. But it seems, I haven't got lucky lips. what a pitty

[redvenizkx]

its 2011 and im 17 :)

[20FlightBlues]

the regular version by him is the best, way better than Ruth Brown's even.

[alanvking]

A quiet and assuning young lad who just did his act then went offstage and slipped into the shaodws. He's never had a fender bender apparenty and I'm not talking about Hank B Marvin.

[Alyssa0401]

[purbrookian]

[tonyhgv]

@purbrookian ....TRY AMAZON mp3 file download ..79 pence... its on there

[TheNeonTide]

@tonyhgv try an iphone you can watch youtube videos on it, and that includes this one.

[Jevezy]

These were the days when white recording producers took the songs sung by black singers and give them to white singers because most of America preferred to hear those songs sung by whites and bought the records.Then there were those blacks whose songs were used by recording companies for years and never paid them a dime in royalties and they died penniless. What goes around comes around and there is always is the big payback for every nasty, racist, evil deed.

[heezabirddog]

@Jevezy Aw!!!!!!!!! what a shame

[MegaGrigoryan]

i hate all people who can saying bad things about cliff. He is number one star

[lmj22]

@MegaGrigoryan, hatred is a very bad and self-destructing emotion.

Everyone has a right to express his opinion. No need to hate people, if someone's opinion differs from yours.

[beadsstitcher]

@lmj22 Good advise......I totally agree with you.

[whirlbirdy]

@lmj22 WELL SAID.

[thesavedone1]

@MegaGrigoryan He is truly a brilliant singer and a marvellous performer.

[EnzoScifo]

@MegaGrigoryan Who are those "all people"?

[Nederland19]

orgineel is van Ruth brown in 1957 gescreven door jerry leiber&Mike stoller is ook aangeboden aan Elvis maar zijn moeder vond het maar niks

[thecountofbasie]

Cool side...took till the lyrics to confirm it's a cover of Ruth Brown's hit...great tempo and harmonies...and fine post...thank you

[malaga22]

I listened to Lucky Lips in Germany when I was in the Army in 1963. Great memories.

[tiitejuwe]

ma jeunesse c'était bien pas de haine

[jennadyann]

fantastico!!! splendid performance...ahh...the good ol' days..when music was just music....threads weren't the main focus! love it!

[atomicgil]

that's very true, but look at those fine threads they are wearing. i was born in the wrong era.

[bloodythinandfast]

Learning alot at 43 years old,...I thought Cliff was great doing Devil Woman and i'm finding out his roots,...I really like The Shadows being a Ventures fan,music is always great but it was better long ago,...I hope to form a band and play all this wonderful music.Thanks for the video!!

[namitamathur61]

Wow! Love the tempo..and the uh h...!

[Cocofender]

[fabrosin]

[heyheysupdude]

i <3 this song<3

[herkool13]

if any body have top of the pops vidio from cliff (visions)1960s my wife was the girl in the boat.

[Greathamada]

Those were the days ...very very lovely song , it reminded me of my young days when I use to be a little play boy ....loool

[zaaritha]

Wonder what his fans had thought of him if they knew he is gay?

I don´t care--he´s a good singer!

[alanvking]

Cliff isn't gay. He's just a nice quiet lad who does his shows and then slips into the shadows.

[danni3091]

i love this songggg ! im seeing cliff on wednesday at a book signing, im only sixteen but i love him

[SirCliffRichards]

My Pappy used to call me Mother's Lips.

[oneandatwo]

This is like a joke.

The Beatles made real music and songs.

That was the whole difference.

[barrygioportmorien1]

If all you listen to youtube is to argue, Then i'll give my opinion, The Beatles are crap.

[Lafforte]

Beatles crap, bubblegum!!?? Okay.

[oneandatwo]

I over-estimated the creative understanding of the masses when the Beatles sold all those hundreds of millions of records. It's like people have come-out and confessed that they were just buying what everyone else was buying, but really didn't get it...

[Greathamada]

But they had also made great hits. Clif has always been the best of all that I can remember yes indeed

[bergilly2004]

I was but a teenager when I bought this 45rpm vinyl record and it is still in my record collection. I'm 62 now and still listen to this song on my MP3. Great song and still love it.

[tonyhgv]

imj ..PSYCHOPATHIC females among cliff s fans.....pissed myself laughing..excellent

[needi51]

Like most of his songs this song has also got an evergreen quality.

[rockabillypie]

love this song

[dhumash]

great song...

[lexoblyth]

This IS a great song. If you listen to Ruth Brown singing the original instead of this lightweight 2nd rate cover ,you will see how it sounds by someone tho really knows what its all about.

[brucec43]

God spare us from the dangerously pretentious music afficianado. So this Ruth Brown knows what "lucky lips" are all about? (as if it was otherwise some deep heavy song) It's a freaking pop song. Get out of your parents' basements, go have your first dates, and live a little. You're way overthinking this.

[lexoblyth]

Pretentious? Moi ? I viewed Cliff Richard's 1963 version and came to the conclusion it was(and is) vastly inferior to Ruth Brown's 1957 recording. If that makes me an "aficionado" then I guess you are right. I hoped that anyone readin the comment would check out the original track Cliff was copying. My guess is that you did not .

[brucec43]

Do you go online and look up all the remakes of really old songs you like, then pop over to YouTube and find videos of the remakes, then commment about how "2nd rate" the covers are? I DID listen to her version and prefer Cliff Richard's. But that doesn't make hers "2nd rate". But neither is exactly deep stuff. Just little ditties someone wrote to be clever. Why try to make more out of it? And I think you should look up "afficiando". It's not an insult. "pretentious" is, however. : )

[lexoblyth]

First time I left a comment on UTUBE - starting to wish I had not done so now ! Leiber-Stoller wrote the "little ditty" - for commercial purposes. They also would have liked the Cliff Richard version - it was a top ten hit in UK and Europe and earned them substantial royalties. I dont need to look up words - I know what "aficionado" means, and how to spell it correctly . I have never used it myself though. I think people who use words like that are - pretentious. Enough of this please !

[brucec43]

I'm curious what you expected to accomplish by coming to a video of Cliff Richard and calling it "2nd rate"? Why not simply say "I prefer the original version by Ruth Brown"? I came off like someone trying to display how superior they are in musical tastes. "ah, those original negro versions are so superior to those white imitators! We aficionados know what you rabble don't!" Sorry, I have to run over to Elvis Costello's Peace, Love & Understanding now and slam it vs Nick Lowe's version.

[heezabirddog]

@lexoblyth cliffs rendition is far better!!!

[suminexsan]

I love this 1965 clips!

[mikeystrafford]

This is a fantastic song. Check out Richard Hawley's dad playing guitar!!!! I never get heartbroken and i never get the blues....

Mikey

[murakas2]

Who is Richard Hawley?

[mikeystrafford]

Ha ha

Richard Hawley is a fantastic British singer songwriter who, to me looks a lot like Hank Marvin, so i'm making some harmless puns. Check out Richard Hawleys music if yo can. He's brilliant. Mikey xx

[hjjuiklog]

to imj22 your vidios from 1965 are in excellent condition its nice to people look after them .

[barrygioportmorien1]

Great song by Cliff.

[shcoke2]

I wonder who Cliff's fans are beside myself as I felt such a connection with his style, voice and emotion. Is there a club to meet all the other Cliff's fans and see what we all have in common? Great job IMJ22 for this posting...

[barrygioportmorien1]

I sometimes wonder the same thing, I am a 63 year old Teenager from Toronto, Canada. I have been a fan of Cliff's since I heard "The Young Ones" and "Dancing Shoes" in the 60's, I am going to guess that you are a lot younger than me, If so I am glad that some younger people are hearing good Rock n' Roll.Cliff should have been a much bigger hit in Canada and The U.S.A., he just never got promoted enough.

[Lafforte]

I'm 59, grew up in a tiny hamlet in Canada. Liked him okay at the time, and the Shadows too. But not nearly as much as I had liked Elvis, Everlys, Carl Perkins, Hank Williams, etc. from the 50s. Still listen to them all.

When the Beatles hit, Richards might as well have gone to Mars.

To each his/her own, but "good Rock n'Roll...this?! Please. Perspective: Mayall's Beano (Clapton)Album, Dylan's Highway 61, Rubber Soul came out the same year as this performance. He's so lame by comparison.

[barrygioportmorien1]

I also grew up in a tiny Hamlet in Canada, and I am a big Elvis, Everley Bros.,Ricky Nelson,etc.fan, but I must confess I have never liked The Beatles, not even one of their songs. To me their music was bubblegum compared to Cliff's.

[brucec43]

Canadians pontificating about rock n roll is like Germans critiquing comedians.

[Lafforte]

"Pontificating" because I indicate that Cliff Richards was pretty lame as rock n roll. It looks like you'd been waiting in the bushes with what you consider your clever German comment and your pompous, pretentious word. A discussion like this doesn't have to degenerate into grade-school, nationalistic silliness. But with The Band, Neil Young, Joni, The Guess Who, Rush, etc., etc., we don't need your Yankee arrogance.

[brucec43]

You're displaying "psychological projection". Look it up. You also display your German sense of humor in taking offense. Such a pleasant fun guy you are!

Those who call Americans "yankees" give away their jealousy and bigotry. It's as transparent as glass.

Yet another internet "tough guy" who's as meek as a mouse in real life. Now fuck off, wanker.

[Lafforte]

Well, well, look who's talking about bigotry, being an internet 'tough guy' and projection. Projection! You're the living embodiment of it. Read your post! You insult Canadians, but you can't take it in return. I've lived in your country and it's full of great people, and a few pompous assholes like you. That's why I specifically referred to 'Yankee arrogance'. Most of your countrymen are not like that, but it's well-known there are some like you. Projection: your 2nd last sentence.

Grow up.

[brucec43]

What a retort. What's next? "I'm rubber and you're glue!" ?

I made a joke reflecting the stereotype of how uncool and boring Canadians are and how ironic it is to have a Canadian weighing in on what's cool, when the rep is Candadians are anything but, and you proved my point by not getting it! Coming to a Cliff Richard video page and declaring a 50 y/o song "lame", then expecting to be cheered for your high musical tastes says it all. Now hush before we invade and take your oil.

[Lafforte]

Interesting. To a certain extent, we've both lived up to our respective stereotypes... I guess I'm a bit 'Canadian' (in both senses) about my musical taste and a little too 'Canadian' about being...Canadian. Actually, that crack about Germans critiquing

comedians is funny (I've used it before) as is your last line about our oil (we've already signed it away!). It's the word 'pontificate' that stuck in my craw. (And I use that too.) Too much projection going on around here.

[brucec43]

I'd kiss and make up but this is a Cliff Richard comments area and people might get the wrong idea. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

[susanlklee]

Yes, I would like to also meet the other Cliff Richard's fans. It'd be great.

[SueBSydneyAu]

If you can get to any of his UK concerts in November, you'll see thousands of Cliff fans having the time of their lives.I'm going to 12 concerts and I hope to see you. Cliff is just the best!

[shcoke2]

Thanks Sue for the Info but I cannot take a holiday in Nov (teaching profession) but in Dec I will be visiting old friends in Los Angeles... : )

[Perranporth]

One of my favourite Cliff songs. Simple, jaunty and very catchy!
