  • @justine381971 we all have our own opinions on this subject,clearly i have upset you,for that i apologise,but its still shite in my opinion.cant even compare to mr diamonds,

  • Cliff at his best, he's never any different, top all round entertainer.

  • i love this version better

  • speeeeechless

  • This version is Amazing 5*****

  • yag spelt wardsback

  • I should know! I sung this and many others better than Diamond. But I could not do Harry­ It`s all in the fix. You either have it or not. Listen to the Beat. Listen to the back-beat..

  • Cliff is great, have seen him in concert, but this version of Neil's song is just not good, but that's ok, nobody can top Neil.

  • similar to beginning of requiem for dream?

  • I like Cliff and many of his songs

  • stgarp85 ( - święta racja to jakaś masakra jest....

  • Jak można zgwałcić taki kawałek?!  Aż żal tego słuchać...

  • una delle peggiori cover di tutti i tempi. rinchiudetelo.

  • strange, he has tha same white teeth like in the 20-30 year older clip :-)

    nice song :-)

  • This brings back sweet memories. He was always my favorite singer growing up.

    Don't let them make up your mind.

    Don't you know

    Girl U'll B a woman soon,

    Please come take my hand

  • Really fine...he is the greatest...hope he rocks on forever

  • I couldnt agree more!

  • This is so much better than Neil Diamond's dreary one! Definately suits him

  • anytime for me cliff Richard wow nice voice

  • cliff actually released this in the late 60's,to all those having a go and never performed it live untill THE WORLD TOUR few yrs ago.

  • thank God for this beautifull voice

  • Infact not only neil diamond is better for this song, the not very known, Biddu (kungFu Fighting-remember), has done a tremendous job with this song.

  • Nice version

  • No other voice like Cliff's!

  • Whenever Cliff Richard covers a great song,be it this one,Butterfly Kisses,etc,it is almost always better than the original recording[ARTIST] Im not a big fan,but i know a great voice when i here it.

  • This version is not in the same league as Neil Diamond, this is a song that should be sung in the style and with the voice of Neil Diamond, dont get me wrong Cliff can sing, but this song just does not suit him

  • snico, I like Neil Diamond too.  But for this particular song, I think Cliff Richard's version is better.

  • Cliff Richard has ruined this fab Neil Diamond track!!!

  • i dont think so

  • great arregements folk song into pop splendid job Neil's song was great but i love this version Cliff never sounded better

  • Neil Diamonds version is far to slow

  • Wow! I didn't realize how great NEIL DIAMOND was until I saw this - Cliff stay away from music that is in a different world from your stuff - this is blasphmous NEIL ROCKS!!!!

  • This version is a heresy of the original.

  • Gotta admit I don't like this version at all. Neil Diamond rocks - this version - not so much. You have to admire his courage in trying to give it a twist though. It takes guts to take on a standard from a legand

  • This standart was CEATED by Cliff Richards - Americans are so ignorant!

  • Cliff Richards MAY have created it (I dunno) and he may have recorded it, but he sure as hell didn't make a hit out of it as Neil Diamond did.

    And some of us Americans ARE ignorant but at least I had the decency to be polite and respectful with my statement. You know, unlike slamming an entire culture because I didn't like the comment of one person.

  • You are right and I stand corrected with apology.

  • Boring, Neil Diamond does it better.

  • Yeah, this is a different variation of this great song. Great,none the less! I like the up tempo. Keep rockin', Cliff! Who wrote this? Urge Overkill does a great version, too. Check out UO Sister Havana, and Positive Bleeding.

  • Neil Diamond wrote this song in 1967.

  • hahaha very funny and true.Check out Urge Overkill's brilliant version.

  • To see this song done properly you need to look for Urge Overkill or watch Pulp Fiction

  • love this version of Neil's claccis folk song Cliff and orcestra give it that extra boost well done my respect rock on Cliff

  • Cliff you will outlive all the rubbish about today you know good music luv ya

  • This is a beautiful song sung by a man who would never talk like you do. Thank goodness we don't all have garbage mouths!

  • Others may have a different opinion, but I think Cliff's version is the best.

  • Crap......poor man's cover of Neil Diamond. Cliff is a god botherer now this song bothers me!

  • Good try, never someone like Neil Diamond, Urge Overkill maybe close enough...

  • sorry about that! I meant Cliff. I think Neil Diamond would be proud of your version of this song. Sorry Urg, Cliff does this song better then you....

  • I never heard this rendition before. I think its great. This song and its version are perfect for todays retro-rock and dance mix. I believe if played enough in the US it can go platinum..way to go Keith.

  • No definitely not!! He's still brill live and a few more good years left i hope.

  • I think so, definitely, cazziekins. Several more good ones. By the way, I looked, but couldn't find sales figures on the SIGO album. I saw that interview you mentioned, I think, so I hope that is not what he is thinking now....

  • I love listening to it. joanie

  • I'm sure this is a song for a straight man...

  • I was at this concert loved it! I love him singin this song!

  • LMFAO this is SO bad! Urge Overkill are the only band to do this song justice. I don't see the attraction to an OAP saying "baby I've done all I could".... It's just not the same.

  • "They never get tired of putting me down". Should be a famous cliff richard quote but id say stick it up ur arse. ITS JEALOUSY!!

  • It's ok if he's singing it to a lady of a certain age which i am!!

  • Well, I know it's personal opinion, but I think Cliff does this beautifully, and I do love the version by Neil himself. Love the "grunts"! Sexy!

  • Maybe "sighs" is a better word than grunts!

  • I prefer passionate groans myself!?

  • LOL! I agree; I am of a certain age, too, and couldn't think of the word "groan" at the time I wrote that!

  • Yep i can identify with that,words escape me on occasion too,let's just blame the effect Cliffy has on us!?

  • Hey, cazziekins, that's a great idea and I'm going with that one, instead of blaming my age! Actually, it's true, too! Ah, his voice sends chills up my spine, every time....You know, it really ticks me off the press writes him off as only appealing to "grannies"; well, aren't we still people??? They'll be our age one day and then let's see what they think about being written off!

  • I don't know how much you know of the ageist campaign waged on Cliff (and other singers of a similar age) by UK radio stations?They just took them off the playlists completely!How dare people dictate to me what i listen to,grrr!The man i blame most is DJ Chris Evans and he must be well into his 40s now,so i wonder how he'd like it if he was sacked from his job just because of his age?Most of the vitriol stemmed from 1999 and the Millennium Prayer,even George Michael started on Cliff.

  • So when i see people on here complain about Cliff plugging his hotel,wine and perfume i just think leave him alone,they took the music from him what else is there for him?

  • I agree with you 100%. Other "stars" do it, why is he not allowed to? I personally think they are jealous of him, his success and fan loyalty, his looks, his personality, and his "goodness", because they know they don't measure up. Not one iota. Do they want him to mock his fans and spit on them or something? Well, he wouldn't, he has too much respect, I believe, and it comes out in everything he does.

  • I saw an interview here on utube from the 90s when Cliff said he would know when to stop making music.After one album wasn't so successful he would make only one more,followed by a greatest hits ,then retire.This is very worrying,you don't happen to know the SIGO sales figures do you?God forbid he must not be allowed to retire!!

  • After watching this video,i think,now is the time he should retire.

  • I have a friend in the UK, found here on YT, who has sent me tons of stuff on Cliff, so I know a good bit about the age discrimination being practiced. It's like Cliff said, if the music was crap, he'd understand, but it's not. I personally wish they'd tell all those DJ's and managers who won't play him and others that they are too old and bring in 20 year olds to take their places. See how that feels.

  • I'm 23 years old, i am from Russia. I suppose, Cliff - best singer now/

  • I agree entirely--and I am a new fan of about 4 months, and he is the best I've seen, past to present. And I've been around much longer than you, alekseyMP, you young thing. So, I know!

  • There's no Neil Diamond clip of him singing this, but this is a lot better than the twenty-something Urge Overkill remakes floating around.

  • Cliff is class but he does sing this shit ! The jurys out on this one gonna download the mp3 and see if its any better.

  • I like Cliff and many of his songs, but he's KILLING this song. He's so out of tune!

  • Cliff sings this 1970s song composed by Neil Diamond beautifully

  • This is wrong!
