Sir Cliff's fans love not only his music but also admire him for being the person he is. A singer, a dancer, an actor, a philanthropist, etc rolled up into one.❤
Of course I like Cliff Richard he is a phenomenal musician and singer sir Cliff Richard he is one of the greatest artists of all time very very gifted God bless him where ever he is and very very happy birthday to him 🎵🎶 freddy ❤❤❤
Have been a fan since childhood, still a fan today! Sir Cliff deserves respect, if for no other reason than he remains steadfast and true to his core beliefs, let a lone his wonderful talents! Nowadays that is a rare trait indeed, so good for you Sir Cliff Richards, many more years to ya!
I just love Cliff and the shadows...i am 78 now and have followed them from the the very early days of their careers. fantastic music i still play their music every day....may they keep going God bless them and especially Cliff.
I lived in the next street to Cliff, Bury Green Cheshunt, my sister performed in school plays with him, and my brother was a personal friend. Cliff is the nicest, genuine person. God bless him.
66years and still fantastic he has always been number one for me. The media has tried to dig up dirt on him ,they can't find any so make it up God bless Cliff love as usual
Cliff is the greatest singer and performer ever to come out of Britain. He's sold nearly 350 million records worldwide. He's a musical genius, a rock legend and every other star falls very short of Cliff. No one can match his talent, unbelievable voice, emotion, technique, incredible looks and magnificent humanity. He is focused, powerful and strong and never hesitates to bear witness to his Christian fairh, no matter what. Happy birthday for tomorrow, Cliff. Thank you for the music and the incredible live performances. You've been an inspiration to me and all your devoted followers through all these decades. God bless you. We love you forever🎉❤
I am a fan of Cliff Richard. I enjoy the different types of songs he sings. He has a huge fan base. He is a Great Performer. God bless you Sir Cliff Richard.
The presenter referred to his various scandals/controversies throughout his life and career. There was only one in 2014 for which he was cleared. Nothing else. Why say such things then? Just because he is a clean-cut singer who hates drugs and advocates a traditional family lifestyle, what is wrong with that? The press/media prefers flawed druggies like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain who all died in their 20’s because of drugs, alcohol? They are supposed to be examples for today’s youth???? We need more Cliff Richard-type entertainers today!!!
You are so ,so right....but im a Decadent and dysfunctional Society we prefer junkie singers,cover with Tatos and other they don't want to be man or woman..so being decent is almost an offense in England nowdays.
You have no idea about his past or you would be shocked if you actually had any idea, nay worse than shocked you, would probably vomit. Shame this is you tube and public
Cliff's Move It was at the time Britain's first recorded entry into the Top 100 that lead the way to a music revolution that wasn't eclipsed until The Mersey bands brought about another change in music's directions. The song with its pulsing rhythm and bristling guitar intro, fills and solo was unique at the time among a hit parade of novelty songs, easy listening music and cocktail lounge crooners. But Cliff's first number one single was, Living Doll, a country music style ballad straight out of Nashville. Cliff is a remarkable show biz personality, but an enigma none the less. If he ever lived the Rock n Roll life there's been no evidence of it. While being adored as a romantic icon, he's remained single and without a girlfriend in the usualy understanding of what that means to the world at large. Of all the performers that have achieved worldwide notoriety, Cliff Richard seems the most sad and lonely. Now aged 83, the one time Peter Pan of Pop, is still without his Wendy.
A truly lovely, modest, kind and generous gentleman in every sense of the word. His charity work is amazing and he has continuously through his life given generously through his charity to those in need. Very rarely given the recognition he deserves. God bless you Sir ❤ Cliff Am a life-time fan. Ps - I was childhood friend of P and hubby M from Woking who worked for you. Stay well and enjoy a peaceful life xxx. Ljh
I've been a huge fan of Cliff since I was 11yrs always love his music a smart guy with good values. I loved dancing to his music. Thanks for the great music Cliff. 👏🙏
Sir Cliff will always be remembered for his great career in music. I have loved all of his music and he certainly entertains the crowd at his concerts. If everyone was as good and kind hearted as Cliff it would be a wonderful world. My mother used to say if you cannot say something good don't say anything at all. Some people should think about that.
Im quite a young fan of cliff the original rock n roll legend. The 1979 rock n roll juvanile album is one of my all time favs. Only just getting into im nearly famous from 1976. My parents brought me up on wire for sound. Cliff has one one of the greatest unique soulful recognisable best ever sounding voices on the planet X mill!!!!!!! I still cannot get over the many who shamefully overlook this mans talent.
Absolutely! I’ve seen so many lists of “world’s greatest” or even “Britain’s greatest” that include lots of people with less talent & far fewer hits, but leave off Cliff. Whether you go by No 1 singles or albums, or top 40 or 100 hits, he is always there, often many times.
Still a fan of his after all these years. I saw and heard his first song when I was 12 and will always be a fan no matter I old I get or how old he gets. Long Live Cliff!!!
I first saw him on TV back in '58 before he was famous when I was about 12yrs. It was one Bonfire Night when I'd slipped down the road to my Aunt's house on the housing estate to sample some of her nutty parkin and treacle toffee and stood watching this singer in a quilted jacket (blk & wht TV then but must have been a bright pink one) singing 'I Believe.' It was a favourite song of mine and he did it well. I didn't know his name, I don't think he was yet known but I became a fan as soon as he was and of The Shadows. I'm coming up for 78yrs in August, living in Oz since 'March '67 but still a fan. I've been to some concerts, the first in UK then a few in Perth, WA and saw his Reunion concert with the Shads in 2010 in Perth. Seen The Shadows separate in concert in Perth too. They and Cliff are still top artistes. Hank is into jazz now and is living in Perth, WA.
Cliff Richard is great. I wish him a very Happy Birthday. I went to see him perform twice here in Tasmania Australia. I never believed any of the things he was charged with. Keep on keeping on cheers Diana.
He was never officially CHARGED with anything. It was all publicity, starting with helicopters flying over his home when they were searching it. The police were wrong, in front of the whole world!
He was and always has been and is today a morally upright born of The Spirit Christian who is not woke..is that a controversy? Apparently so by a fast declining atheistic world standard.. Keep at it Cliff and God Bless
For me a die hard fan from 1963 since I saw " Summer Holiday "at ten yrs old.Love his music have all his records albums DVDs calendars T.shirts Five of his books including his two very latest biographies which iam reading now.I sing a lot of his covers.I love all his 60s love ballards .God Bless you Sir Cliff as you rock n roll on.
We as a family have been a fan from the beginning. We loved his singing & all his songs. In the 60’s when we went on holiday we always used to sing “ We are going on a summer holiday.” His song the Millennium Prayer it to this day it is one of my all time favourites.
Yes I'm a big fan of cliffs♥️he's a lovely guy meet him a few times he always makes time to talk with his fans not like some of the others. Stars there will never be any one like Cliff .
I think he is a decent chap, doing a lot for charity and not promoting himself too much. He has a good voice, has made many hits over many years. He keeps to his beliefs, despite the problems he has overcome. Well done, Sir Cliff, I say.
I was born in 1958 when Cliffs first single (move it) was released. I grew up with his music. I learned piano and played his sheet music over and over. I've always been a fan, and will be forever grateful that I was born in his lifetime. Thank you Sir Cliff for being you and always...ALWAYS remaining the gentleman that you are. I live in Australia and have been to your concerts when you toured, lined up for your autograph, and even saw you in 'TIME' in London. I always wanted you to marry Olivia like so many of your fans did. You are a true legend and will remain so, forever in the musical history books of all 'Time'.
He started in the music business at sixteen he’s had a number one record in every decade. He’s a British institution he’s never put a foot wrong until a crazed fan tried to accuse him of doing wrong which was found to be fabricated. Poor cliff he sold his home because the BBC filmed where he lived and he felt violated they had shown where he lived privately untroubled for years. But could no longer live there after they told everyone where it was. The BBC had to pay a large sum in damages when Sir Cliff won his legal case against them. Good for him still going out and performing for his fans.
I have been a big fan of Cliff for many many years. In my opinion he is one of the greatest entertainers ever. And Cliff and the Shadows were an unbeatable combination. Thanks for all the great music, Cliff.
Mine too since hearing him on radio at boarding school in Witbank, South Africa when he first started out. I'm turning 80 next year! I once owned a program from his first trip to SA with the Shadows in 1961 and it was signed by him and all the Shadows including Jet Harris! Sadly it got lost many years ago :(
My idol, with the Shadows since the age of 12yrs is & always will be. We are well of his controversies but never believed it any way. (When you try to serve God to the best of your ability "like Cliff does" you will always be criticized) Idol for life. 💎❤️❤️❤️📀🎶🎹🎵🎸🎤💞💞💞 God's angels protect him. 🙏😇💓. Cape Town. 🇿🇦
I'm 78, and have been a fan of sir Cliff since a teenager, I never believed what the media said and I think the person or persons responsible should be named and shamed, and then charged,for trying to ruin his good name, his music is unforgettable good clean and remarkably like him
I have lived Cliff Richard and The Shadows for years.Cliff has stood the test of time very well.As well as a great entertainer he is a thoroughly decent human being.I never believed those horrible disgusting allegations for a minute. He certainly did not deserve that! No apology from the Police could erase the terrible hurt and pain it caused him.A devoted fan forever!❤❤❤
Been recently to see Cliff at his 23 Tour and his voice is as good now as it was when he started out, which is something you can't say about most elderly big stars, he is and has always been my hero. All the crap he had to deal with is another casing point of how fragile life is and that we are only as safe as the next man allows us to be.
Sir Cliff is a wonder singer. I love his songs when I was 10yrs. Now I'm 70yrs and still love singing his songs with my guitar playing along. Beautiful rhythm can never give up. Well the only sad that he should have married Olivia during his joint singing When I'm 64.
I was a Gr 4 student at Tupukas Primary School when his hit song"Lucky Lips" was popular on Radio Bougainville " Maus blo sankamap" I used to sing it on my way to school from where we lived near Arawa High school. Sore tru lo ol displa ol gud taim bipo. Thinking of those good old days just pains my heart, but no doubt Sir Cliff Richards other songs like Young ones, Wired for sound, Devil woman and instrumentals by his group " The Shadows still amaze me.
Cliff is and has been a wonderful and talented human being, if everyone followed his example the world would be a far better place. Good on you Cliff 👏👏👏👏❤
Been a fan since 1958 when I was 14, that will never change no matter what rubbish is thrown at him. I never believed the accusations at all and thought it was appalling how he was treated. He is the greatest.
Spot on Patricia!!! No musical career shall ever surpass Cliff's. Elvis has the digit sales, in fairness, and he did change everything, (ask Cliff), but Cliff was criminally denied USA exposure. When you look at global sales, without having a USA market, Cliff and Julio, and, possibly, ABBA, have achieved outstanding sales figures and global popularity regardless of the USA. Elvis was just a glorified Gospel singer, ... at best. With an equal playing field, Cliff would have blown him away. America's loss, the rest of the world's gain. There is only one Cliff.
I am an 🇺🇸, it is a shame he only had limited success in this country. Yes, I am a fan. The 1st time I ever head him was in the 70’s, but the 1st album I actually bought was now you see me, now you don’t…back in 81 or 82. I used to play the cassette all 5he time driving back and forth to/from work. I think he has a southing, mesmerizing voice. Not only singing, but speaking too! BTW, he also acted in theatre 🎭 , in London’s west end ( Tome and Heathcliff). He also has his own TV show, twice. He has several best selling books. Numerous biographies have been written about him as well as his own autobiographies. His knighthood was for his charity work, not his music. He not only is very talented, but a very down to earth nice man and committed Christian. I am aware of the ridiculous claims that were made about him in the media and by the BBC and South Yorkshire police, which were proven false. He also got substantial settlements from said organizations for dragging his name through the mud. His enthusiasm for life, music and Jesus is truly inspirational!
So what a bout the young boys he abused at the Elm guest house. He's on the MI5 child rape honey pot files. You can access the files through the freedom of information act. He was also in a relationship with Ronnie Kray and spent the weekend with him in a cottage where a young man ended up dead and cut up in a suitcase. He confided in Cilla Black when the police raided his home and she was later found battered to death and did not die of a stroke as was reported in the media. Her children found her and have not spoken about it since. The police raid was just a distraction for something else, as is often the case.
I love to see comments from Americans when it comes to our Cliff. EMI AMERICA are criminally at fault for their failure to promote Cliff, despite his major period of success in the UK and also Europe being attained whilst under the EMI UK label !!!! I am absolutely convinced that Elvis and Tom had an influence in restricting Cliff's exposure in the USA but Elvis was, after all, just a glorified Gospel singer who had Prescilla on sleep overs at 15. The USA would have loved Cliff, if given an equal playing field, especially with the Shadows, whilst the Elvis guy had arguably the worst backing group of all time with the awful and just totally laughable Jordanaires. Unfortunately, history will show a limited USA support for Cliff, much the same as the USA missed out on Julio Inglesias and Lara Fabian. Thank you for sticking up for our Cliff, who remains the greatest pop rock and balladeer artist of them all.
Sir cliff is a unique and very lovely human being he deserved his knighthood for both his music and all the brilliant charity works which he is involved in
In the spotlight's gentle embrace, he stands, Sir Cliff Richard, a living legend, in many lands. Eighty-three turns around the sun, a tale to unfold, A melody of life, a story of silver and gold. Born in Lucknow's warm embrace, A journey embarked with grace, October's child, Harry Rodger Webb, A name etched in the scrolls, the years ebbed. Through the decades, a musical tide, His voice, a timeless guide, With every note and every rhyme, He painted life's canvas, an endless climb. Eighty-three, a milestone reached, Yet, in his spirit, youth's flame leached. Take a breath, for time's gentle sway, Has touched him not, in the most magical way. In the theater of life, a seasoned actor, Sir Cliff graced each role, a musical factor. From "Living Doll" to "Summer Holiday" delight, His songs, a symphony, echoing through the night. Take a deep breath before you see him today, For he's not just aged; he's become a sunray, A beacon of music, a vessel of song, In his presence, the years seem to prolong. With a twinkle in his eye and a charismatic smile, He traverses time, mile by mile, Eighty-three, but ageless in his art, Sir Cliff Richard, a masterpiece, a work of heart. So, let the notes of celebration play, In honor of the legend on this special day. Take a deep breath, let admiration flow, For Sir Cliff Richard, whose music continues to grow.
Fan forever hes the loveliest man and still very popular with thosands if not millions of fans hes the nicest person very caring and lovely to his fans Hes UKs best and longest star a legend for ever I love him hes the best weve got still a talent and my No 1 forever
Growing up with 4 elder siblings and a musical father, my music knowledge is fast. I love Cliff Richard, the first song I knew by heart is :- We don't talk anymore. My late dad always in laughter referred to him, as the man who stole his baby's heart ...
How he survived those terrible allegations is a miracle to me, music was my first love, music I got to know through Cliff and the Shadows.........................
It’s the only real problem he’s ever had to handle. Just think what horrors the world has been through since Cliffs first hit in 1958 and he hasn’t said a dicky bird until something affected him then we didn’t hear the last of it for years.
Sir Cliff was not ever in any trouble with anything or anyone. With one horrible accusation. Where he was cleared of all charges. He's a born again Christian, he has never done drugs, he has his own winery, which he enjoys. But, he's not an alcoholic. He is very gifted. I personally love his ballads best and rock- n- roll and different languages and the country songs. OH ! Well I love all of them ha ! ha !.. He's a successful, business man, he can dance, he can act on stage and concerts. He has kept close to his Christianity that makes him a great person with the biggest heart I have ever seen. He changed my life in 2018. I will love him for the rest of my life...
He loves rock & considers himself a rocker. At least he did 30-odd years ago when I last saw him in concert. He didn’t hate the ballads & appreciated their success, but he could really move!
I remember Cliff when he first appeared on TV - he was drop dead gorgeous - I'm 85 now, born in 1939, and think he is so right to challenge all the loose morality that is so popular today. Like me Cliff is a born aagain Christian, so it isn't going to be an easy ride being so in the spotlight, God Bless you Cliff x
I saw him on the blk & wht TV in the late 50s when he first came out. I was about 12yrs.It was one Bonfire Night Nov 5th. He was on a TV show singing I Believe' wearing that quilted jacket which I suspect when we later saw it in colour must have been bright pink. I didn't know who he was but I loved that song which I'd heard sung by Frankie Lane and I just stopped to listen to him at my Aunt's house just down the street from where the large communial bonfire was burning, put on by the committee members of the housing estate. He was just getting going then. Came to know and liked him and The Shadows. Saw him and them for first time on stage in Leeds. Been a fan ever since and I'm 77yrs now! Been to a few concerts in Oz. Saw his Reunion Concert in 2010 with The Shadows and have the DVD amongst other concerts too.
Oh, yes! “Miss You Nights” was the inspiration for one of my favourites of the stories I’ve written. A LOT either were based on, inspired by or named after Cliff’s songs.
Next to Elvis, I believe Cliff is the greatest vocalist ever!! Saw him north of Ottawa in 1979 and got an autograph from him. A true gentleman and he will never be eclipsed. It's great to see all the comments and accolades people are sending his way on social media. I'm 77 with most of my faculties but, I can tell you, I'm not looking forward to the day the inevitable happens. You know, the same as August 16th, 1977; the day I cried for hours and didn't care who knew. Keep on truckin' Cliff!! In this current world, we need Billions of Cliffs around to straighten out this mess we call earth.
Genuinely nice to hear an Elvis fan appreciate Cliff. We shall always disagree as to which of the two was better (and Cliff is on your side!), but very few Elvis fans take time out to acknowledge his biggest global rival. RESPECT.
None of us look as we did in our 20s. Some have aged better than others, but as long as we accept what we are and are relatively healthy then we should be glad that we have reached this point in our lives. Cliff looks fine to me as he always did, some have had cosmetic surgery and look dreadful and false so just be glad if you are able to enjoy some of the pleasures of life no matter what.
@@SharynThompson-q5gI am sure he has many fans who would agree with you but I don't much as I like him.He does not have the charisma or the voice range that Elvis has.He has though talent in spades that cannot be denied.👍
They were determined to get him but truth will always out. His sexuality is his own concern so long that it does not involve children which never applied to him. he has always been a faithful Christian , Kids have always loved him, these baseless rumours and jibes by people who should have known better must have been a terrible blow to his kind and caring nature. A British Icon.
It was was a horrible experience to be accused for this issue and the way the police invaded his property on false accusations and The BBC is also involved in this matter... But he's a survival and has a strong soul to go through this wrong doing doings!! The aftermath has a inpact on his live that he carries with him until his last breath.. 😢 Life has shown the cruelty that may existed but I'm standing behind him as a knight and angel to protect him. 💖
You might have mentioned that his family was English and not Indian and had been in India as part of the British running the country. And Cliff was knighted for his charity works as well as his music!
I've always liked our cliff..he's a lovely fella and I know people say look at him now...Well at least we can look at him now God bless...we are all going to get old God willing...no one stays young forever..my only advice is at our age live evry day like its your last..just enjoy be happy and sod every one else..we can't hold on to life so I'm definitely not going to hold on to money thank you and good night 😊
Sir Cliff Richard is just not a star he is a very humble man and has an immense thirst for knowledge in various fields. He loves Indian cuisine and has a great sense of humor. He is still the most sought after eligible bachelor even today at the age of 83 and some of his die hard female fans who are some twenty to thirty years younger than him want to desperately marry him and turn into his wife.!!!! There is still jealousy and a quiet battle amongst his numerous female fans on the social media regarding this issue since every female fan of Sir Cliff Richard wishes to win the golden heart of this special guy!!!! ❤❤❤❤
@@jeanheale3837No he doesn't "come from India ". He was born in India because his English parents were living there at the time. Subtle difference...And he actually doesn't wear a wig.
Me--more a Shadows Fan, than Cliffs records, but not exclusively; he recorded many Good songs, and only mean spirited people would even try to take anything away from his unequalled achievments. I'm 82, and cliffs almost as young looking as me,
Good for Cliff . l'm not a fan but he is a very talented singer and entertainer and seems a decent person . Anyone who looks as good as him at 83 plus the longevity of his time in show business is to be admired . A committed Christian and his avoidance of all the pitfalls prevalent with money and fame is also equally to be admired . Rock on Mr . Richard .
I'm indifferent to most of his music but he seems someone who still places 'morals' high on his list of important things and THAT is the very reason his fellow entertainers aren't fond of him or the youth of today, because he , seemingly at least, has high morals and thank God he has. And even IF he was or is gay, I don't give a toss because he generally doesn't "preach" to others and respects their choices and views. Unless it IS all an act I'd say he was a role model for most of us.
We all love Cliff Richard! Because of his music, he brought us and is still bringing us happiness!
Sir Cliff's fans love not only his music but also admire him for being the person he is. A singer, a dancer, an actor, a philanthropist, etc rolled up into one.❤
Of course I like Cliff Richard he is a phenomenal musician and singer sir Cliff Richard he is one of the greatest artists of all time very very gifted God bless him where ever he is and very very happy birthday to him 🎵🎶 freddy ❤❤❤

I just love Cliff and the shadows...i am 78 now and have followed them from the the very early days of their careers. fantastic music i still play their music every day....may they keep going God bless them and especially Cliff.
I lived in the next street to Cliff, Bury Green Cheshunt, my sister performed in school plays with him, and my brother was a personal friend. Cliff is the nicest, genuine person.
God bless him.
A true star! And he is 100% correct re the decline of values. I admire him for his courageous speaking out.
Good Ole Cliff .. just loved you... I grew up listening to your super songs
66years and still fantastic he has always been number one for me. The media has tried to dig up dirt on him ,they can't find any so make it up God bless Cliff love as usual
Well said Anne.
GOAT.
Period.
Cliff is the greatest singer and performer ever to come out of Britain. He's sold nearly 350 million records worldwide. He's a musical genius, a rock legend and every other star falls very short of Cliff. No one can match his talent, unbelievable voice, emotion, technique, incredible looks and magnificent humanity. He is focused, powerful and strong and never hesitates to bear witness to his Christian fairh, no matter what. Happy birthday for tomorrow, Cliff. Thank you for the music and the incredible live performances. You've been an inspiration to me and all your devoted followers through all these decades. God bless you. We love you forever🎉❤

Thank You Sir Cliff Richard for your Work and Conservative values. From Staten Island, NY
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse UK?
I'm a huge fan of Cliff Richard and have been for the last 50 years. I've been to about 5 concerts in my country, Denmark.
I envy you! Been a fan of 55 yrs and only watched 2 concerts! 😢😂❤❤❤
I gave up going to his concerts, although I loved them, once I couldn’t even afford the nose-bleed seats.
No matter what they critics say of him, I remain a Cliff fan.
Yes, gotta say it. Who wouldn't be jealous of cliffs voice.
A truly lovely, modest, kind and generous gentleman in every sense of the word. His charity work is amazing and he has continuously through his life given generously through his charity to those in need. Very rarely given the recognition he deserves.

Great fan of Sir Cliff Richard!
I've been a huge fan of Cliff since I was 11yrs always love his music a smart guy with good values. I loved dancing to his music. Thanks for the great music Cliff. 👏🙏
Me too, since I was 12yrs in late 50s when he first came out and I didn't even know who he was then!
He was my favorite back in the 70's .... I'm a huge fan and I love his music
Sir Cliff will always be remembered for his great career in music. I have loved all of his music and he certainly entertains the crowd at his concerts.

Im quite a young fan of cliff the original rock n roll legend.
The 1979 rock n roll juvanile album is one of my all time favs. Only just getting into im nearly famous from 1976.
My parents brought me up on wire for sound.
Cliff has one one of the greatest unique soulful recognisable best ever sounding voices on the planet X mill!!!!!!!
I still cannot get over the many who shamefully overlook this mans talent.
Absolutely! I’ve seen so many lists of “world’s greatest” or even “Britain’s greatest” that include lots of people with less talent & far fewer hits, but leave off Cliff.
Whether you go by No 1 singles or albums, or top 40 or 100 hits, he is always there, often many times.
I have always loved Sir Cliff Richard, he is an amazing artist and a wonderful human being. Simple as that!
He is so lovely, gracious and humorous with all the brick bats he gets. Thank you Cliff. I adore you!
Sir Cliff will always be a very favourite of mine I'm 73 and still love hom no matter what❤🎉❤🎉
Still a fan of his after all these years. I saw and heard his first song when I was 12 and will always be a fan no matter I old I get or how old he gets. Long Live Cliff!!!
I first saw him on TV back in '58 before he was famous when I was about 12yrs. It was one Bonfire Night when I'd slipped down the road to my Aunt's house on the housing estate to sample some of her nutty parkin and treacle toffee and stood watching this singer in a quilted jacket (blk & wht TV then but must have been a bright pink one) singing 'I Believe.' It was a favourite song of mine and he did it well. I didn't know his name, I don't think he was yet known but I became a fan as soon as he was and of The Shadows. I'm coming up for 78yrs in August, living in Oz since 'March '67 but still a fan. I've been to some concerts, the first in UK then a few in Perth, WA and saw his Reunion concert with the Shads in 2010 in Perth. Seen The Shadows separate in concert in Perth too. They and Cliff are still top artistes. Hank is into jazz now and is living in Perth, WA.
I managed to shake his hand in Perth in the early 70s. One of my favourite moments.
Cliff Richard is great. I wish him a very Happy Birthday. I went to see him perform twice here in Tasmania Australia. I never believed any of the things he was charged with. Keep on keeping on cheers Diana.
He was never officially CHARGED with anything. It was all publicity, starting with helicopters flying over his home when they were searching it. The police were wrong, in front of the whole world!
He is such a lovely man . Sincere and strong faith. A true star.
So you know him do you ?.
Cliff is an exceptional outstanding human being. God has blessed him.
So you know this paedo do you?.
He was and always has been and is today a morally upright born of The Spirit Christian who is not woke..is that a controversy? Apparently so by a fast declining atheistic world standard..
Keep at it Cliff and God Bless
For me a die hard fan from 1963 since I saw " Summer Holiday "at ten yrs old.Love his music have all his records albums DVDs calendars T.shirts Five of his books including his two very latest biographies which iam reading now.I sing a lot of his covers.I love all his 60s love ballards .God Bless you Sir Cliff as you rock n roll on.
A proper Cliffite.
Well said Johnnie.
My Cliff bumph mirrors yours to a tee!
I've been a fan of cliffs for many years. He's a kind person and gives a lot of time to charities. Always love him.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see?
He's loved for his voice ❤️
We as a family have been a fan from the beginning. We loved his singing & all his songs. In the 60’s when we went on holiday we always used to sing “ We are going on a summer holiday.” His song the Millennium Prayer it to this day it is one of my all time favourites.
I sing it often. That & Saviour’s Day are probably my most frequent hum-alongs.
Yes I'm a big fan of cliffs♥️he's a lovely guy meet him a few times he always makes time to talk with his fans not like some of the others. Stars there will never be any one like Cliff .
I’m so jealous, Jill.
I think he is a decent chap, doing a lot for charity and not promoting himself too much. He has a good voice, has made many hits over many years. He keeps to his beliefs, despite the problems he has overcome. Well done, Sir Cliff, I say.
Yes a bit like Jimmy Savile he did a lot for charity as well
@@ianmcnulty3279 Yes a lot like Jimmy Savile.
A true performer, singer and gentleman 👍
I was born in 1958 when Cliffs first single (move it) was released. I grew up with his music. I learned piano and played his sheet music over and over.
I've always been a fan, and will be forever grateful that I was born in his lifetime.
Thank you Sir Cliff for being you and always...ALWAYS remaining the gentleman that you are. I live in Australia and have been to your concerts when you toured, lined up for your autograph, and even saw you in 'TIME' in London.
I always wanted you to marry Olivia like so many of your fans did. You are a true legend and will remain so, forever in the musical history books of all 'Time'.
He started in the music business at sixteen he’s had a number one record in every decade. He’s a British institution he’s never put a foot wrong until a crazed fan tried to accuse him of doing wrong which was found to be fabricated. Poor cliff he sold his home because the BBC filmed where he lived and he felt violated they had shown where he lived privately untroubled for years. But could no longer live there after they told everyone where it was. The BBC had to pay a large sum in damages when Sir Cliff won his legal case against them. Good for him still going out and performing for his fans.
I have been a big fan of Cliff for many many years. In my opinion he is one of the greatest entertainers ever. And Cliff and the Shadows were an unbeatable combination. Thanks for all the great music, Cliff.
Very well said.
Always been one of my icons from South Africa❤
Mine too since hearing him on radio at boarding school in Witbank, South Africa when he first started out. I'm turning 80 next year!
I once owned a program from his first trip to SA with the Shadows in 1961 and it was signed by him and all the Shadows including Jet Harris! Sadly it got lost many years ago :(
My idol, with the Shadows since the age of 12yrs is & always will be. We are well of his controversies but never believed it any way. (When you try to serve God to the best of your ability "like Cliff does" you will always be criticized)
Idol for life. 💎❤️❤️❤️📀🎶🎹🎵🎸🎤💞💞💞 God's angels protect him. 🙏😇💓. Cape Town. 🇿🇦
I'm 78, and have been a fan of sir Cliff since a teenager, I never believed what the media said and I think the person or persons responsible should be named and shamed, and then charged,for trying to ruin his good name, his music is unforgettable good clean and remarkably like him
I have lived Cliff Richard and The Shadows for years.Cliff has stood the test of time very well.As well as a great entertainer he is a thoroughly decent human being.I never believed those horrible disgusting allegations for a minute.
He certainly did not deserve that!
No apology from the Police could erase the terrible hurt and pain it caused him.A devoted fan forever!❤❤❤
Beautiful voice, beautiful face, beautiful soul. We all love him xxx
Been recently to see Cliff at his 23 Tour and his voice is as good now as it was when he started out, which is something you can't say about most elderly big stars, he is and has always been my hero. All the crap he had to deal with is another casing point of how fragile life is and that we are only as safe as the next man allows us to be.
I love all of his music still. I started loving his music since heard it in the late sixties ... Beautiful ever voice...
I also liked listening to his music when along in the night.. his soft voice makes me feel loved. I tend to fall in love with myself...
Sir Cliff is a wonder singer. I love his songs when I was 10yrs. Now I'm 70yrs and still love singing his songs with my guitar playing along. Beautiful rhythm can never give up. Well the only sad that he should have married Olivia during his joint singing When I'm 64.
I was a Gr 4 student at Tupukas Primary School when his hit song"Lucky Lips" was popular on Radio Bougainville " Maus blo sankamap" I used to sing it on my way to school from where we lived near Arawa High school. Sore tru lo ol displa ol gud taim bipo. Thinking of those good old days just pains my heart, but no doubt Sir Cliff Richards other songs like Young ones, Wired for sound, Devil woman and instrumentals by his group " The Shadows still amaze me.
Good to see him looking so well! My mother made him a cup of tea once!
Cliff was fab. Our youth club loved playing Move it best record ever
Just what did you mean - take a deep breath before you see him TODAY. Looks fine to me!
It’s called “click baiting” to seduce people to click on the story; more clicks, more income. By the way, it’s pronounced BARKSHUR,
Thanks for this tribute to my ,favorite singer,Sir Cliff Richard AKA Harry Webb.I'll be 71 y o by Dec. 10 and still his my fav.singer fav.singer
Happy Birthday.....yesterday!
Cliff is and has been a wonderful and talented human being, if everyone followed his example the world would be a far better place. Good on you Cliff 👏👏👏👏❤
Been a fan since 1958 when I was 14, that will never change no matter what rubbish is thrown at him. I never believed the accusations at all and thought it was appalling how he was treated. He is the greatest.
Spot on Patricia!!!
No musical career shall ever surpass Cliff's.
Elvis has the digit sales, in fairness, and he did change everything, (ask Cliff), but Cliff was criminally denied USA exposure.
When you look at global sales, without having a USA market, Cliff and Julio, and, possibly, ABBA, have achieved outstanding sales figures and global popularity regardless of the USA.
Elvis was just a glorified Gospel singer, ... at best.
With an equal playing field, Cliff would have blown him away.
America's loss, the rest of the world's gain.
There is only one Cliff.
I am an 🇺🇸, it is a shame he only had limited success in this country. Yes, I am a fan. The 1st time I ever head him was in the 70’s, but the 1st album I actually bought was now you see me, now you don’t…back in 81 or 82. I used to play the cassette all 5he time driving back and forth to/from work. I think he has a southing, mesmerizing voice. Not only singing, but speaking too!
BTW, he also acted in theatre 🎭 , in London’s west end ( Tome and Heathcliff). He also has his own TV show, twice. He has several best selling books. Numerous biographies have been written about him as well as his own autobiographies. His knighthood was for his charity work, not his music. He not only is very talented, but a very down to earth nice man and committed Christian. I am aware of the ridiculous claims that were made about him in the media and by the BBC and South Yorkshire police, which were proven false. He also got substantial settlements from said organizations for dragging his name through the mud. His enthusiasm for life, music and Jesus is truly inspirational!
Cliff had his own TV show at least 3 times!
So what a bout the young boys he abused at the Elm guest house. He's on the MI5 child rape honey pot files. You can access the files through the freedom of information act. He was also in a relationship with Ronnie Kray and spent the weekend with him in a cottage where a young man ended up dead and cut up in a suitcase. He confided in Cilla Black when the police raided his home and she was later found battered to death and did not die of a stroke as was reported in the media. Her children found her and have not spoken about it since. The police raid was just a distraction for something else, as is often the case.
I love to see comments from Americans when it comes to our Cliff.
EMI AMERICA are criminally at fault for their failure to promote Cliff, despite his major period of success in the UK and also Europe being attained whilst under the EMI UK label !!!!
I am absolutely convinced that Elvis and Tom had an influence in restricting Cliff's exposure in the USA but Elvis was, after all, just a glorified Gospel singer who had Prescilla on sleep overs at 15.
The USA would have loved Cliff, if given an equal playing field, especially with the Shadows, whilst the Elvis guy had arguably the worst backing group of all time with the awful and just totally laughable Jordanaires.
Unfortunately, history will show a limited USA support for Cliff, much the same as the USA missed out on Julio Inglesias and Lara Fabian.
Thank you for sticking up for our Cliff, who remains the greatest pop rock and balladeer artist of them all.
Sir cliff is a unique and very lovely human being he deserved his knighthood for both his music and all the brilliant charity works which he is involved in
He deserves to be in prison for sexual offences against young boys and his involvement with the Krays.
He has a clean image which many celebrities wish they could aspire to. At 83 he is living well. An evergreen talent.
I take a deep breath every time I see him . Cliff is wonderful top of my list. No one can compare to him. 🥰❤️😘
In the spotlight's gentle embrace, he stands,
Sir Cliff Richard, a living legend, in many lands.
Eighty-three turns around the sun, a tale to unfold,
A melody of life, a story of silver and gold.
Born in Lucknow's warm embrace,
A journey embarked with grace,
October's child, Harry Rodger Webb,
A name etched in the scrolls, the years ebbed.
Through the decades, a musical tide,
His voice, a timeless guide,
With every note and every rhyme,
He painted life's canvas, an endless climb.
Eighty-three, a milestone reached,
Yet, in his spirit, youth's flame leached.
Take a breath, for time's gentle sway,
Has touched him not, in the most magical way.
In the theater of life, a seasoned actor,
Sir Cliff graced each role, a musical factor.
From "Living Doll" to "Summer Holiday" delight,
His songs, a symphony, echoing through the night.
Take a deep breath before you see him today,
For he's not just aged; he's become a sunray,
A beacon of music, a vessel of song,
In his presence, the years seem to prolong.
With a twinkle in his eye and a charismatic smile,
He traverses time, mile by mile,
Eighty-three, but ageless in his art,
Sir Cliff Richard, a masterpiece, a work of heart.
So, let the notes of celebration play,
In honor of the legend on this special day.
Take a deep breath, let admiration flow,
For Sir Cliff Richard, whose music continues to grow.
How true and how lovely communicated👍
CLIFF is simply the best , the real deal ❤ xxx
I have been a fan from the beginning ,my first pop star love ,will always love no matter what. ❤❤❤❤
CLIFF WAS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS I EVER LISTEN TO THEM I 1960 's and 70's
3 words- 'Simply The Best'. Sings great, looks great & a real humanitarian. Sadly there are those that get delight in cutting down a tall poppy.
Fan forever hes the loveliest man and still very popular with thosands if not millions of fans hes the nicest person very caring and lovely to his fans Hes UKs best and longest star a legend for ever I love him hes the best weve got still a talent and my No 1 forever
Me too is a fan forever.
A true gent.
❤❤❤❤ been a huge Cliff fan since I was 13..
When l was young, he was my favourite singer. Still love him today.❤️👍🥰
Growing up with 4 elder siblings and a musical father, my music knowledge is fast. I love Cliff Richard, the first song I knew by heart is :- We don't talk anymore.
My late dad always in laughter referred to him, as the man who stole his baby's heart ...
As a father of daughters, your Dad was not alone in that sentiment!
😁😁😁.
How he survived those terrible allegations is a miracle to me, music was my first love, music I got to know through Cliff and the Shadows.........................
It’s the only real problem he’s ever had to handle. Just think what horrors the world has been through since Cliffs first hit in 1958 and he hasn’t said a dicky bird until something affected him then we didn’t hear the last of it for years.
Sir Cliff was not ever in any trouble with anything or anyone. With one horrible accusation. Where he was cleared of all charges. He's a born again Christian, he has never done drugs, he has his own winery, which he enjoys. But, he's not an alcoholic. He is very gifted. I personally love his ballads best and rock- n- roll and different languages and the country songs. OH ! Well I love all of them ha ! ha !.. He's a successful, business man, he can dance, he can act on stage and concerts. He has kept close to his Christianity that makes him a great person with the biggest heart I have ever seen. He changed my life in 2018. I will love him for the rest of my life...
The king of rock,please leave him alone! Thank you
It appears you wouldn't know rock from poetry. Clff only only sang a few rock songs on his early years.
He loves rock & considers himself a rocker. At least he did 30-odd years ago when I last saw him in concert.
He didn’t hate the ballads & appreciated their success, but he could really move!
He's a great icon loved him scince I was a teenager back
I n the 60s
50,60s
HAPPY BIRTHDAY. STILL SO HUMBLE AND GOOD LOOKING FOR HIS AGE. BLESSINGS ALWAYS 🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤
I remember Cliff when he first appeared on TV - he was drop dead gorgeous - I'm 85 now, born in 1939, and think he is so right to challenge all the loose morality that is so popular today. Like me Cliff is a born aagain Christian, so it isn't going to be an easy ride being so in the spotlight, God Bless you Cliff x
I saw him on the blk & wht TV in the late 50s when he first came out. I was about 12yrs.It was one Bonfire Night Nov 5th. He was on a TV show singing I Believe' wearing that quilted jacket which I suspect when we later saw it in colour must have been bright pink. I didn't know who he was but I loved that song which I'd heard sung by Frankie Lane and I just stopped to listen to him at my Aunt's house just down the street from where the large communial bonfire was burning, put on by the committee members of the housing estate. He was just getting going then. Came to know and liked him and The Shadows. Saw him and them for first time on stage in Leeds. Been a fan ever since and I'm 77yrs now! Been to a few concerts in Oz. Saw his Reunion Concert in 2010 with The Shadows and have the DVD amongst other concerts too.
EXCELLENT ENTERTAINER ! ALL THE BEST TO SIR. CLIFF RICHARDS !
I don't care about the critics still remain cliff fan .... !!!
Agree with and love Sir Cliff.
Miss you nights is one of my favourite songs.
Oh, yes!
“Miss You Nights” was the inspiration for one of my favourites of the stories I’ve written.
A LOT either were based on, inspired by or named after Cliff’s songs.
Next to Elvis, I believe Cliff is the greatest vocalist ever!! Saw him north of Ottawa in 1979 and got an autograph from him. A true gentleman and he will never be eclipsed. It's great to see all the comments and accolades people are sending his way on social media. I'm 77 with most of my faculties but, I can tell you, I'm not looking forward to the day the inevitable happens. You know, the same as August 16th, 1977; the day I cried for hours and didn't care who knew. Keep on truckin' Cliff!! In this current world, we need Billions of Cliffs around to straighten out this mess we call earth.
Genuinely nice to hear an Elvis fan appreciate Cliff.
We shall always disagree as to which of the two was better (and Cliff is on your side!), but very few Elvis fans take time out to acknowledge his biggest global rival.
RESPECT.
Grew up in England the same time as Cliff. Glad we are both still around.
Summer Holiday is still one of my summer favourite songs. Always played that song the first day we were leaving on vacation during my working years.
We do that too🤗🤗
None of us look as we did in our 20s. Some have aged better than others, but as long as we accept what we are and are relatively healthy then we should be glad that we have reached this point in our lives. Cliff looks fine to me as he always did, some have had cosmetic surgery and look dreadful and false so just be glad if you are able to enjoy some of the pleasures of life no matter what.
Im a big big fan and i love his music
I’ve been a fan since I was 13, I’m now 75 💝💝
One of the best entertainers the UK has ever produced.Second only to Elvis in my humble opinion.
Better than Elvis. In my opinion!!
@@SharynThompson-q5gI am sure he has many fans who would agree with you but I don't much as I like him.He does not have the charisma or the voice range that Elvis has.He has though talent in spades that cannot be denied.👍
They were determined to get him but truth will always out. His sexuality is his own concern so long that it does not involve children which never applied to him. he has always been a faithful Christian , Kids have always loved him, these baseless rumours and jibes by people who should have known better must have been a terrible blow to his kind and caring nature. A British Icon.
Always will,god bless him always
I hope I will live to be 83 and look as good as he does.
It was was a horrible experience to be accused for this issue and the way the police invaded his property on false accusations and The BBC is also involved in this matter... But he's a survival and has a strong soul to go through this wrong doing doings!! The aftermath has a inpact on his live that he carries with him until his last breath.. 😢 Life has shown the cruelty that may existed but I'm standing behind him as a knight and angel to protect him. 💖
Talented and wealthy the world has been kind to him!
Yes, I am a fan of Cliff.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Cliff! Which of his songs appealed to you the most?
Cliff is the best xx
Summer Holiday got me into music and singing.
You might have mentioned that his family was English and not Indian and had been in India as part of the British running the country. And Cliff was knighted for his charity works as well as his music!
I've always liked our cliff..he's a lovely fella and I know people say look at him now...Well at least we can look at him now God bless...we are all going to get old God willing...no one stays young forever..my only advice is at our age live evry day like its your last..just enjoy be happy and sod every one else..we can't hold on to life so I'm definitely not going to hold on to money thank you and good night 😊
He is a fantastic singer love all is songs and l love him so much xx 👍💎❤️
Sir Cliff Richard is just not a star he is a very humble man and has an immense thirst for knowledge in various fields. He loves Indian cuisine and has a great sense of humor. He is still the most sought after eligible bachelor even today at the age of 83 and some of his die hard female fans who are some twenty to thirty years younger than him want to desperately marry him and turn into his wife.!!!! There is still jealousy and a quiet battle amongst his numerous female fans on the social media regarding this issue since every female fan of Sir Cliff Richard wishes to win the golden heart of this special guy!!!! ❤❤❤❤
How true.
He comes from India so would like Indian cuisine,no jealousy here he is awful from that ghastly wig hate to see what he looks like without it
Of course he has "die hard" female fans who want to become his wife. His WEALTHY wife...
@@jeanheale3837No he doesn't "come from India ". He was born in India because his English parents were living there at the time. Subtle difference...And he actually doesn't wear a wig.
@@davidlauder-qi5zv his father was indian his mother was english
Me--more a Shadows Fan, than Cliffs records, but not exclusively; he recorded many Good songs, and only mean spirited people would even try to take anything away from his unequalled achievments. I'm 82, and cliffs almost as young looking as me,
Good for Cliff . l'm not a fan but he is a very talented singer and entertainer and seems a decent person . Anyone who looks as good as him at 83 plus the longevity of his time in show business is to be admired . A committed Christian and his avoidance of all the pitfalls prevalent with money and fame is also equally to be admired . Rock on Mr . Richard .
Happy Birthday Cliff ❤🎉⭐️
I'm a huge fan
There is nothing wrong with high moral values keepit up cliff
I'm indifferent to most of his music but he seems someone who still places 'morals' high on his list of important things and THAT is the very reason his fellow entertainers aren't fond of him or the youth of today, because he , seemingly at least, has high morals and thank God he has. And even IF he was or is gay, I don't give a toss because he generally doesn't "preach" to others and respects their choices and views. Unless it IS all an act I'd say he was a role model for most of us.
