I believe this video is actually from ‘It’s Cliff Richard’, 7th September 1974 (Cliff certainly didn't have hair this long in 1970), though he released the song as the B side to 'I'll Love You Forever Today' in June 1968.
SUPERB VERSION - CLIFF NEVER GETS THE CREDIT HE FULLY DESERVES - NOT EVERYONES CUP OF TEA FOR SURE BUT NOT MANY CAN BE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME FOR 50 YEARS SELLING OUT VENUES AND PRODUCING TOP TEN ALBUMS YEAR ON YEAR OUT. EVERYBODY JUST CHILL AND IF YOU HATE HIS MUSIC SO MUCH WHY ARE YOU WATCHING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.....
i wish i hadnt seen this. laughable. neil diamond is a god, cliff thinks he is. he could have made a good market trader cos hes managed to spend 50 years flogging shit.
Cliff Richard is the best singer generally (I hear Him 46 years incessantly). He can simply sing everything!!! And if is on top of that the nicest man on the whole planet. Sir Cliff Richard looks simply breathtaking and He is a man with world class!!!
its easy to make fun or bad comments about someone but he lived his dream of music and is more than what alot of people cant say .. if you think u can do better then make a video and we will judge all the haters.. music is about sharing and making words into emotions you haters are all talk why dont you step up to the mike and when u make million dollar records then you can say something but since its never going to happen then you have no room for disrespect of a great singer of his time
@bluejackets1986 Exactly ! GRRRREAT voice, great song! The recorded version is a gem! Played loud, it is very very good! And very soothing! The haters never did much with their lives, did they? They commented on youtube thoiugh! All the effort and rehearsal that goes into performing and writing. Why not sit at the computer instead and 'comment' all night! Easier...safer.....life over!
This is the WORST version I have ever heard of this "Neil Diamond" CLASSIC. Oh Cliff why did you ever bother wasting your time trying to sing this beautiful song written by and sung ( as it should be ) by NEIL DIAMOND.
This is absolutely one of the worst covers I've ever heard. Utter rubbish. On the other hand, some of the best and most amusing comments I've read here on You Tube. "...thernal underwear;" "....I feal quesy;" "my ears bleed;" et al. LMAO!
I hate the over emotion!He wasn't feeling these emotion's Neil was and he didn't over act this song live like this.Cliff was notorious for singing other peoples' song's and giving them emotion by interpretation.
Amazing man always demonstrates so much emotion in his singing...he is such a hunk loved him 1958 and still do I would love to defend him against the negative comments but he does not need defending he knows how most people love him his work and everything...God continue to bless Cliff with wisdom and love
Sorry but Neil D had the 1st version, after writing I'm a Believer for the Monkees he wrote and recorded this in late 66 or early 67 I see Cliffs version is 1970.
So what Cliff doesn't have the raw power in his pipes that Neil has. Cliff does a nice job and damn he was nice to look at, in fact down right delicious!!
Almost every song from back in those days have been remade and usually the remake sounds better because of the new sounds. Back then this version was the shit, but now its the other versions
Wtf??Is this really Cliff Limp wrist Richard trying to copy a Neil Diamond classic tune??This is so Gay Cliffs fake tan and fake teeth make me wanna puke.Didnt Cliff once go steady with Liberace or Truman Capote?
Nowt wrong with this version, only cos its Cliff do idiots have a go. Urge Overkill's is the best version but this is better than Neil Diamon's lifeless attempt.
@YoungBastiansen Overkill has a much more acustic version, however this version has more feeling. I like it even better than the original in 1967 neil Diamond.
To tuneinturnondropout - maybe you should. Cliff didn't need to "make it in the states". He has been going for 50 years, no drugs, no crime, no sleaze - just talent.
