@justine381971 gee i dont even remember commenting on this clip ,, reading its pretty harsh lol i just prefer neil diamonds version thats all .. sorry to offend i take it back :)
I love this song,but didn't knew that Cliff sings this song also.Haha now i do.I would love to hear Cliff with Neil in a duet with this great song!! Thanks for sharing,thumbs up!!
@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,
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..
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
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!!!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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....
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.
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!!
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 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!
