One of his biggies ... There is a version of this floating around on You Tube that claims to be live, BUT it is not ... it fades in with a guy by the name of Derek Davis, a Northern Ireland TV / Radio personality introducing him ... But that is the only part that is live. The rest is a studio version of Gaye dubbed over the live singing ... shame really, as it really does only an injustice to CTW ... This is the original uncut and unedited performance ... ... The video also shows a very young Mike Murphy ... CTW was a mainstay (and still is) on Irish radio and television.
What year is this from?

All these X Factor wannabees should be made to watch this until they realise that the way they sing is just not how it should be done.... not wearing silly hats, .. crying after they've performed, because " they were born to sing" and they "want this more than anything" just sing.... in your own voice... nothing else... your voice... your song... like Clifford does here... SIMPLES!!!!!

Not just one of but....the BEST live performance ever to have been offered! Clifford T. Ward is the most emotional and most talented musician ever to have lived. A real shame he was overlooked in his lifetime and never received the recognition he so deserved. Rest in Peace, Clifford T. Ward. Until we meet again.

Magnificent ... I thought the studio version was fabulous but this live version is something really special

Fantastic. I have nver seen these clips before. I love the way he changes the phrasing on 'Gaye' but still makes it sound special.
