I lived in the USSR at that time and was engaged in a similar practice of recording from a shortwave radio. I often walked with it in nature. It was a completely extraordinary adventure to travel in these radio spaces. This feeling is partly conveyed by Roger Waters’ album "Radio KAOS". It turns out that he also experienced something similar. All the work of Cliff Richard passed through this era of shortwave radio. Now there is complete emptiness on short waves.

В, пропылённом Магирусами, Норильске, услышал в 14 лет коротким летом Заполярья в 1979 году... Необычно яркая, подвижная, креативная память до сих пор в моей памяти - песенка была необычайная!
I grew up with this song and as far as I knew it was a classic one-hit wonder. I still cannot wrap my mind around the idea that Richard is one of the most successful recording artists of ALL TIME. He is in the top 10 or 20 best sellers in history! He is in the same stratosphere as Elvis and the Beatles.
My Dad introduced me to Cliff Richard when I was a little girl. I have to say, it was one of the best things he could have done!! Along with Abba, Beegees and Boney M ❤
I grew up listening to songs like this, my older brother loved this song but at the time (as did I), I did like "Dancing queen" by ABBA. I had a romantic time with a girl at the neighborhood swimming pool (in Northeast Philadelphia) and the ABBA song was played over the PA system, I'll never forget the feeling, It reminds me of much easier times back in the mid seventies.
I have always loved this song! I'm still rocking it at 60 yrs old, lol!! I am so blessed to have been raised with sooooo many great music artists in my life, and yes, I like my rock loud, and I don't care who looks at me funny!!
When I was in the band. I copped this geetar riff changed it slightly. The guitar player caught it and said holy shit DEVIL WONEN. CLIFF RICHARD so we changed 2 notes thank Cliff 😂.
Man. what a killer tune. best memories...was around 17 when this was out. Real Musicians...Singing...No Tricks...Had to have a great, convincing Voice with Charisma and great song...to get yourself on the Radio, or on Tour. Heady Days....

Hey Val that sounds cool. It reminds me of when I was little and my older sister would be doing up her hair and listening to WLS radio out of Chicago back in the 60’s and AM was the big thing and I would see her take her hair brush and pretend it was a mic and sing along with the songs on the radio. Thanks for tickling my mind and reminding me of the fun times I had with my sister when I was her little brother. I know this song came years later but WLS was a Powerhouse of music in the Midwest back then. It used to play all day long on the PA system when our parents would take all of us ( my mom , dad, older brother and older sister ) to the beach to swim all day. We are all gettin old but god the memories that we all have are great. And all with great music in our lives. I was watching a movie when Devil Woman came on and I had it look it up and listen to it again as it is such a Great song and always will be. Thank you again for bringing back great memories.

been listening to a Thrash/Hardcore cover of this song by favorite band of all time for like 35 years and this is the first time ever i’ve heard the original… ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
I never heard of Cliff Richard before looking up and listening to this song and video today. My weekend feels dark lonely and haunted. I woke up with this song in my head and it wouldn't go away. Though actually hearing and watching it, usually helps me to move past/ through it. We recently acquired a (mostly) black cat in our home with the most mesmerizing green eyes. She's lived and survived outdoors her entire life until we took her in (as far as I know) but she's the best most gentle cat I've ever met. (I'm deff not a cat person my apologies) but am giving it a go anyway. I think it's quite amazing that a song I've never paid that much attention to although I know it well, after all these years still finds its way into my head when I sleep..... it's a very well written song, tells a great story, paints a vivid picture... I miss the late 60s/ early 70s when a song and artist got the credit it deserved for simply being good, not like today where big Corp has demonetized artists and chooses the same monotonous material that gets exposure just because it fits that little four chord mold. Back then anything went as long as it was good, and the subject matter and mood was a lot more light hearted. At least that's my perception...
This is the only song by Richard that made it to the charts in the US. He did not write the song. Dancing Queen was the only song that was a hit in the US by ABBA.
@@ripvango3489 Your having just discovered Cliff, your life shall be changed forever. Must "go to" albums: "'I'M NO HERO". "ALWAYS GUARANTEED". "I'M NEARLY FAMOUS". "THE 31ST OF FEBRUARY STREET". "REAL AS I WANT TO BE". And another 100 or so, but they shall do, for now!!! 😄😄😄.
Underrated and overlooked classic. I was a young man and foolishly married at the time. Listening to this brings back all the emotions I was feeling at the time. An emotional time machine.
Every Halloween season baby just started this year tonight love this spooky atmosphere this song brings out at night with a storm and rain falling in the dark
we danced to this song at the prom in 1978. played it many times in a row. In Georgia, in the city of kobuleti on the Black Sea. Thank you Cliff it was unforgettable!!!!
@@Virgovixen10 They call them "record players". I lose myself every Sunday morning in the delights of Cliff albums, his best stuff being 76 to 88. Mind you, he has a strange album from 73/74 called "31st Of February Street". At that time, Cliff cared little about what he recorded. His popularity was waning, and he recorded some dire material, albeit no other artist in the world would have done a better job. HOWEVER: Up pops this curiously one of a kind album, Cliff self penning half a dozen tracks. It is the definition of a "stand alone" album, so unlike anything he has ever done. I like his pop/synthetic period of the 80s, but I strangely always come back to "31st" when in a reflective, somewhat contemplative mood. Arguably his finest album, but I argue with myself (!), as I just love the album "I'm No Hero", closely followed by "Almost Guaranteed".
A big hit in too many hearts around the world, beyond what Cliff himself might actually realise, dear Edmund-of-Fendel. This song is how he signed his name upon the art of music itself, even he was unaware of it at the time, just perhaps.
My boyfriend back then (we've been married 45 years now!) played this on his car radio in his 1970 El Camino on one of our first dates. I remember he sang to it! 😍

Man what a great melody. Mean and swampy sounding. I love it. There was just something about the feel that musicians had around this time in the 1970's that has been lost in all of todays popular music. It really was the high point for great unique melodies.

@@jayj9844 you are right, no more tender love songs or wonderful dance music. Today it is screaming filth and woman battering. It make me sick ! I can't handle filth nor the violence in today's music.
For Britain it was a horrible decade: unions were running the UK, we had a 72 hours limit to our electricity, bins overflowing, high taxes,etc. 60s yes, we had the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Was Elvis in the 70s ?
I enjoyed this song when it first came onto the radio & I'm still enjoying it in 2020! It's so well put together with the lyrics & melody & the rhythm all really grab me to this day! VERY WELL DONE CLIFF!!!!
Love this!!! Unfortuately, Cliff Richard only had a few hits here in the US (we already had Elvis; we didn't need a duplicate) but what there were, were smashes. And "Devil Woman" was the biggest!!!
This song is just amazing. The video, the voice, way ahead of its time. Sir Cliff Richard is just an amazing artist. The editing of the film clip is on point. This song is a classic.
I've been listening to this song since the day it came out and now it's 2021 you just don't get music like this anymore. It's more grunge music just loud music that you can't even hear the words he had a very amazing voice. No doubt about it the greatest music came from the '70s!!
This song brings back so many memories. I was 10 when it came out. Reminds me of my beloved childhood. Besides the 70's had the best music in my opinion.
Cliff lived the lesson of this great song - he never married, although he was close friends with many women including Olivia Newton John. A man of faith, he tithed his income to charity. Considering his vast body of musical and entertainment work, Richard, at 81, is truly a great man.
I'm 56 born in 66 ... I remember hearing this song and immediately fell in love with it! This song and the Eagles Witchy Woman always seem to catch my attention!! Reminds me of someone I know.. ME! LOL.. 😆
@@REN-cc2mr song ..woman by cliff richard is(1976) about the trial of Z Budapest in the state of California 1974 who won a legal case. It's possible that the song "Woman" by Cliff Richard, released in 1976, was inspired by the trial of Z Budapest, a Hungarian-born feminist and Wiccan who was charged with practicing witchcraft in California in 1975. Budapest's trial was a highly publicized case that drew attention to issues of religious freedom and discrimination against minority religious groups. Budapest was ultimately acquitted of the charges against her, and the case helped to raise awareness of the rights of minority religious groups and the need for greater tolerance and understanding of diverse religious practices. It's worth noting, however, that the link between the song "Woman" and the trial of Z Budapest is not widely recognized or acknowledged, and the song's lyrics are open to interpretation. While it's possible that the song may have been influenced by the social and cultural climate of the time, it's difficult to say for certain without more information about the specific context in which the song was written and recorded. Cliff wrote about it in a positive way in 1976 when he was going through a secular phase(cowritten with Christine Sparkle). Again, he trial of Z Budapest in the state of California 1974 who won a legal case. Later on, he changed to anti-occultic when he went Ruckmanite and denied the z budapest connection. I'm not aware of any specific statements or comments made by Cliff Richard regarding the connection between his song "Woman" and the trial of Z Budapest. However, it's possible that the song was influenced by the social and cultural climate of the time, which included discussions of religious freedom and discrimination against minority religious groups. It's also worth noting that individuals' beliefs and perspectives can change over time, and what may have been a positive or supportive stance towards a particular issue or group in the past may not necessarily reflect their current beliefs or attitudes. Regardless of the specifics of the connection between the song "Woman" and the trial of Z Budapest, the case was a landmark moment in the history of religious freedom and tolerance in the United States, and helped to raise awareness of the rights of minority religious groups and the need for greater understanding and acceptance of diverse religious practices. Yes and Z budapest is the mother of Dianic Wicca along with Gimbutas and her Kurgan Theory. Yes, Z Budapest is a prominent figure in the development of Dianic Wicca, a feminist-oriented form of modern witchcraft that focuses on the worship of the goddess and the empowerment of women. Budapest has been a vocal advocate for women's rights and religious freedom, and her trial in 1975 helped to raise awareness of the discrimination and persecution faced by minority religious groups in the United States. Budapest's work has been influenced by the research of Marija Gimbutas, an archaeologist and scholar who developed the Kurgan theory, which proposes that the ancient Indo-European cultures were matriarchal and worshiped a goddess. The Kurgan theory has been controversial and subject to debate among scholars, but it has also had a significant impact on feminist spirituality and the development of neo-pagan and goddess-centered religious movements. Overall, the work of Z Budapest and Marija Gimbutas has played an important role in the development of feminist spirituality and neo-pagan religious movements, and their contributions continue to be celebrated and debated by scholars and practitioners alike.
Oh, stop pretending the tasteless radio puree they were pushing back then was any better than today. Just like now, for every awesome track like this getting played you'd have to sift through all kinds of Captain and Tennille, Debby Boone, and Morris Albert production-company-pushed radio tripe. Then, now, and possibly forever more the actually good stuff gets made by undiscovered, untapped artists who haven't had their souls stripped away long ago by recording contracts they're still slaving away under; but radio play goes to the ones the production companies have already bought and payed for in the companies desperate attempts to wring every last bit of profit they can get out of their investment...
The first 45 record I asked my parents to buy me when I was 10 in 1976. I wore that 45 out. One of the best rock songs of the 70s!

I miss the late 60s/ early 70s when a song and artist got the credit it deserved for simply being good, not like today where big Corp has demonetized artists and chooses the same monotonous material that gets exposure just because it fits that little four chord mold. Back then anything went as long as it was good, and the subject matter and mood was a lot more light hearted. At least that's my perception...
This is the only song by Richard that made it to the charts in the US. He did not write the song. Dancing Queen was the only song that was a hit in the US by ABBA.
Wow !! You sure have ALOT to say lol 😂❤

Your having just discovered Cliff, your life shall be changed forever.
Must "go to" albums:
"'I'M NO HERO".
"ALWAYS GUARANTEED".
"I'M NEARLY FAMOUS".
"THE 31ST OF FEBRUARY STREET".
"REAL AS I WANT TO BE".
And another 100 or so, but they shall do, for now!!! 😄😄😄.
Amazing, never gets old!
Underrated and overlooked classic. I was a young man and foolishly married at the time. Listening to this brings back all the emotions I was feeling at the time. An emotional time machine.
Great song from yesteryear. Brings back memories of times when popular music sounded like music, not trash like rap and its ilk.
Interesting offering of foolishly married and the look back against this song. Thanks for that vision
Everybody else still watching this real music video in 2023 & beyond?? 😅❤

Every Halloween season baby just started this year tonight love this spooky atmosphere this song brings out at night with a storm and rain falling in the dark
This is waaaaay better than today's music. As a kid in the 70s and 80s I got to hear all the greats. Good times.

They call them "record players".
I lose myself every Sunday morning in the delights of Cliff albums, his best stuff being 76 to 88.
Mind you, he has a strange album from 73/74 called "31st Of February Street".
At that time, Cliff cared little about what he recorded. His popularity was waning, and he recorded some dire material, albeit no other artist in the world would have done a better job.
HOWEVER:
Up pops this curiously one of a kind album, Cliff self penning half a dozen tracks.
It is the definition of a "stand alone" album, so unlike anything he has ever done.
I like his pop/synthetic period of the 80s, but I strangely always come back to "31st" when in a reflective, somewhat contemplative mood.
Arguably his finest album, but I argue with myself (!), as I just love the album "I'm No Hero", closely followed by "Almost Guaranteed".
Had almost forgotten about this record.always liked Cliff's music .Definitly one one of the best and I think highly underrated rockers!!
Twist of Cain?
I think the same, he was one of the all time greats
Cliff , the oldest rocker in town. Ha ha. Great stuff.
What a fantastic song. What an era!
Right here! Still alive and kickin after 63 good yrs
Real Classics never die!
You right Real Classics will never die,the best not like today
All for that great never tire of his special sound cheers

Never fade either !
The dear Pedro is just ... is just ... is just ... telling the very truth about the organic musicians of those eras between the 50s and 80s !!!
WOW. What a great tune....To this day!! Love Cliff singing with ONJ as well. CLASSIC 🙂💗⭐👍
One of Cliff's best songs. Big hit in the U S too.
And Australia mate ..good stuff hay .
Edmund Fendel, also do you remember the band called SWEET from the 70's???
@@diane_NoFucksGiven yup😍👈
@@tadpole3378 they were Great😁👍
A big hit in too many hearts around the world, beyond what Cliff himself might actually realise, dear Edmund-of-Fendel. This song is how he signed his name upon the art of music itself, even he was unaware of it at the time, just perhaps.
My boyfriend back then (we've been married 45 years now!) played this on his car radio in his 1970 El Camino on one of our first dates. I remember he sang to it! 😍
Awesome!
This Is After 40 Years Still One Of Cliffs Best Songs. .Sounds Amazing ♥

Don’t remember seeing the promo before.
Such great quality of both visual and audio. Thanks for posting this. 🙏🏼
Good song

Get it, Cliff 🤩
🎉💃🏼
Im not reslly a fan but I have a lot of respect for Cliff and marvel at the fact that he is still performing in his eighties snd he is such a great guy.🎸😎👍😁☮️🏴🏴🇺🇲
THE LEGENDARY CLIFF RICHARD. THANKS FOR SHARING YOU EXTREME TALENT WITH THE WORLD.
Man what a great melody. Mean and swampy sounding. I love it. There was just something about the feel that musicians had around this time in the 1970's that has been lost in all of todays popular music. It really was the high point for great unique melodies.
This song is just off the hook Cliff! You sound terrific still!!!
A huge artist in Britain and Europe, Sir Cliff had a string of hits in the States, and I liked them all!
Always loved this song, ever since it came out.
@@cowboygeologist7772
Excellent taste!
A true masterpiece.
I always dug this song as a kid. It's got a real heavy metal feel to it, in both music and lyric. Cliff's voice is on point and so is the band.
Do you like Cradle Of Filth's cover of it?
I'm old school also. I couldn't agree more with you. They don't make music anymore its garbage
A "heavy metal feel", not even close. This song could be an ABBA song, love ABBA.
@@dariowestern by all thats UNHOLY I do, their cover of heaven 17's temptation and Shakespeare's sister's Stay also rock, the Mr. Crowley cover is creepy as fuck. So glad i've seen 'em live twice. Biomortal covers "take my Breath Away" is also good, as is the Graveworm cover of "I need a hero " or you could go check out Andy Refheldt's channel for Mary Poppins sings Deathmetal and Radio Disney Cannibal Corpse /Deicide (Among others) Metal for life
@@jayj9844 you are right, no more tender love songs or wonderful dance music. Today it is screaming filth and woman battering. It make me sick ! I can't handle filth nor the violence in today's music.

One of the slickest songs from the 70s....love love love it
Anyone here who likes this song under the age of like.. 50? I’m 18 and this song is one of my favorites
I am so greatful I was a kid in the 70's. Will love and live the music forever.
For Britain it was a horrible decade: unions were running the UK, we had a 72 hours limit to our electricity, bins overflowing, high taxes,etc. 60s yes, we had the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Was Elvis in the 70s ?
Music from a time when songs actually told a story. I love his songs, and I miss those time.
A staple on AM radio when I was growing up in the 70's. One of my faves!
It’s 2024 & Yes I’m Still Listening, Any One Else
Yes!
You bet
as a 67 y/o mature guy here. I seen this back in 1976 as a 19 y/o teenager in Northern California.

I enjoyed this song when it first came onto the radio & I'm still enjoying it in 2020! It's so well put together with the lyrics & melody & the rhythm all really grab me to this day! VERY WELL DONE CLIFF!!!!
Love this!!! Unfortuately, Cliff Richard only had a few hits here in the US (we already had Elvis; we didn't need a duplicate) but what there were, were smashes. And "Devil Woman" was the biggest!!!
This song is just amazing. The video, the voice, way ahead of its time. Sir Cliff Richard is just an amazing artist. The editing of the film clip is on point. This song is a classic.
I've been listening to this song since the day it came out and now it's 2021 you just don't get music like this anymore. It's more grunge music just loud music that you can't even hear the words he had a very amazing voice. No doubt about it the greatest music came from the '70s!!
One of my favorite songs of all time! Thanks Cliff Richard 😎🙏God Bless You 🌠
2021 and still in love with Cliff Richard and his music
Halloween 2021 perfect song for us old basterds from the 60s
Ahead of his time, I think.
Always has been one of my favorites!
Watching in 2023...never gets old!!!
Seriously this song still rocks in 2019.so many memories of the 70s and 80s.awesome music
This song brings back so many memories. I was 10 when it came out. Reminds me of my beloved childhood. Besides the 70's had the best music in my opinion.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE 100%!!
Agree
you must be 56 years old now.
I agree this song is awesome.
Led Zeppelin owned the 70s
I Loved this song in the 70's ! And this song to this day is STILL AWESOME 👌 👏 😊🎉❤❤ ! !
Cliff lived the lesson of this great song - he never married, although he was close friends with many women including Olivia Newton John. A man of faith, he tithed his income to charity. Considering his vast body of musical and entertainment work, Richard, at 81, is truly a great man.
Most friendships last longer than marriages as it is.
he lives with a man
He and Jimmy Saville have a lot in common.

@@REN-cc2mrwe’re the same age and I feel just like you!!!
@@REN-cc2mr song ..woman by cliff richard is(1976) about the trial of Z Budapest in the state of California 1974 who won a legal case.
It's possible that the song "Woman" by Cliff Richard, released in 1976, was inspired by the trial of Z Budapest, a Hungarian-born feminist and Wiccan who was charged with practicing witchcraft in California in 1975.
Budapest's trial was a highly publicized case that drew attention to issues of religious freedom and discrimination against minority religious groups. Budapest was ultimately acquitted of the charges against her, and the case helped to raise awareness of the rights of minority religious groups and the need for greater tolerance and understanding of diverse religious practices.
It's worth noting, however, that the link between the song "Woman" and the trial of Z Budapest is not widely recognized or acknowledged, and the song's lyrics are open to interpretation. While it's possible that the song may have been influenced by the social and cultural climate of the time, it's difficult to say for certain without more information about the specific context in which the song was written and recorded.
Cliff wrote about it in a positive way in 1976 when he was going through a secular phase(cowritten with Christine Sparkle). Again, he trial of Z Budapest in the state of California 1974 who won a legal case. Later on, he changed to anti-occultic when he went Ruckmanite and denied the z budapest connection.
I'm not aware of any specific statements or comments made by Cliff Richard regarding the connection between his song "Woman" and the trial of Z Budapest. However, it's possible that the song was influenced by the social and cultural climate of the time, which included discussions of religious freedom and discrimination against minority religious groups.
It's also worth noting that individuals' beliefs and perspectives can change over time, and what may have been a positive or supportive stance towards a particular issue or group in the past may not necessarily reflect their current beliefs or attitudes.
Regardless of the specifics of the connection between the song "Woman" and the trial of Z Budapest, the case was a landmark moment in the history of religious freedom and tolerance in the United States, and helped to raise awareness of the rights of minority religious groups and the need for greater understanding and acceptance of diverse religious practices.
Yes and Z budapest is the mother of Dianic Wicca along with Gimbutas and her Kurgan Theory.
Yes, Z Budapest is a prominent figure in the development of Dianic Wicca, a feminist-oriented form of modern witchcraft that focuses on the worship of the goddess and the empowerment of women. Budapest has been a vocal advocate for women's rights and religious freedom, and her trial in 1975 helped to raise awareness of the discrimination and persecution faced by minority religious groups in the United States.
Budapest's work has been influenced by the research of Marija Gimbutas, an archaeologist and scholar who developed the Kurgan theory, which proposes that the ancient Indo-European cultures were matriarchal and worshiped a goddess. The Kurgan theory has been controversial and subject to debate among scholars, but it has also had a significant impact on feminist spirituality and the development of neo-pagan and goddess-centered religious movements.
Overall, the work of Z Budapest and Marija Gimbutas has played an important role in the development of feminist spirituality and neo-pagan religious movements, and their contributions continue to be celebrated and debated by scholars and practitioners alike.
Still listening in 2021 . Can't beat the classics. Not like the computerized crap today.
Oh, stop pretending the tasteless radio puree they were pushing back then was any better than today. Just like now, for every awesome track like this getting played you'd have to sift through all kinds of Captain and Tennille, Debby Boone, and Morris Albert production-company-pushed radio tripe.
Then, now, and possibly forever more the actually good stuff gets made by undiscovered, untapped artists who haven't had their souls stripped away long ago by recording contracts they're still slaving away under; but radio play goes to the ones the production companies have already bought and payed for in the companies desperate attempts to wring every last bit of profit they can get out of their investment...
