Cliffs best period in my opinion. Carrie, Devil Woman, Wired for Sound, We don’t talk anymore 👍
Totally agree with the songs youve listed
Check out Throw Down A Line (credited as Cliff & Hank) from 1969. That one is superb and different to the other stuff he was doing around that period.
Yes ...sublime
Down to Bruce Welch producing and hiring top songwriters.
Dammm I cant even argue with you as ur sooo arrrrrrrrrrrr right
Possibly the most underrated entertainer of ANY generation
My dad was backing singer number 3
Respect to all backing singers
They have the more difficult notes to find.
Genius...! I like...
Thats pretty cool🙂
Amazing backing vocals
From a songwriting perspective this is so impeccably well-crafted. The production, arrangement, instrumentation, unexpected chord shifts, great backing vocals....all just superb! Written by Terry Britten and B.A.Robertson, masters at this sort of thing....
Thats why he got a BA :O)
I couldn't have put it any better, Snail. This is a masterpiece.
incredibly intricate.
It's a pop masterpiece indeed. One of my all-time fave pop songs.
OK, so I had no idea... TY for the teach Snailhairdune (6 yrs ago). No wonder I feel it in my bones. :) Peace.... Covid 19 NYC
Cliff was kind of New Wave around this time. "The young wear their freedom like cheap perfume". What a line.
Great line alright, but is it a bit sexist? I mean men don't wear perfume. Not being woke, just asking. Even if it is a bit sexist, still a great line!
@@user-fp7rc6sp5t Well, I'm a feminist and I don't presume to speak for others like me but I don't hear it that way. The persona speaking that line is not in a balanced state of mind. He is frustrated, disappointed, and venting. Perhaps he is worried for the ladies falling victims to the cheap ways in which they wear their PRECIOUS freedom, whatever he may think of as the correct way to wear it. So his political view could possibly be a bit sexist, or old fashioned, or not, and I am just assuming stuff ... and even if this bub does indeed feel that way, the fact that he is watching out for anyone's safety and not seeking to jeopardize it lets me breathe easy and relax that I can LIVE with it. The point of view of this chracter, this persona that is singing about this less than ideal situation, and not necessary Sir Cliff, known to be conservative in his views. Have a great day!!!
Released end December 1979, this captures the late 70's perfectly, and looks forward to the 80's as well. A perfect pop song, perfectly performed and produced.
The best song IMO of his late 70s/early '80s re-invention phase - i agree it captures that atmopshere of the 70s-turning-into-80s culture
In the UK, the record came out in early 1980, the copyright year on my vinyl copy is 1980. It entered the UK charts in Feb 1980
Who is still listening to this song 2020? 🤗...one of my favourites of all time❤
I am
I just stumbled across it because I'm composing a playlist of songs that were in the hitlist on the exact date of my sister's birth, 40 years ago. Can't believe I never heard this song before!
I REMEMBER THIS SONG STILL
Brilliant tune. Listening during covid lockdown in the uk x
Still listening.
One of Cliff's better songs. Has an eerie quality and suites the mood well.
The UK should be so ashamed of themselves the way they have treated this amazing man and singer.....Still listening to him 60 years after first hearing him on my older uncles record player....
I wish I could thumb up your comment a million times, because I agree 200%.
The fans love him, it's just the press who put him down. He should be shown the respect he deserves.
@@GardeningForProfit it's cos he is a genuinely nice guy and the press can't find anything bad cos there's nothing TO find
The press tried to blacken his name, because he was so clean living. He BEAT them, well done Cliff. Top man.
The heck did the UK do? We didn't treat him badly. We supported his music and him and still do. One guy tried to take advantage of him and played all the media, and you blame the whole UK for it? Literally don't want to go to where you live. If it's the US... you literally gave up the right to type a long time ago.
Is this one of the best songs ever written and performed?
For some reason I think it is a very magical song......the atmosphere......like a fog falling down .....
Completely agree. I’m a massive fan of him but this and all around this era are his best. 1974-1987, the ultimate era
Well said. 💖
Can we show some respect in 2023
What a tune !
2024
This song always made me feel sad, like it was a guy looking for his girlfriend, and she ghosted him and moved without telling him where she went.
happens sad thou
Yeah and no social media or mobiles to track anyone. I miss the 80s. 😁✌
After 40 years this still works, fantastically haunting track
Carrie is the ultimate song that engraved Cliff Richard into the rock and roll of fame
I haven't heard this song before today, but "The young wear their freedom / like cheap perfume" is going to haunt me for a long time. _Great_ song.
One of the best constructed songs, performance, musicianship, production, and engineering of all time 🙂
Love the lyric "the young wear their freedom like cheap perfume" Terry Britten and B. A. Robertson are brilliant songwriters
Masterpiece. A weird, brilliant song.
One of Cliffs best
From the Golden Age of pop music!
Played this to death back in the day. One of cliffs absolute best. I get goosebumps listening to the Hammond organ on the outro, haunting and moody
Playing this to death even now 🎉
Moody blues
Trashed my single of this song, by playing it too much.
Very few people have been able to get the message from a songwriter who is the best in which to admire
What a great song.
Does anyone else miss the bad ass saxophone lead breaks that were so prevalent in the 80’s?
Horns accompaniment were just magic.
Now we have autotuned shit and digital “likenesses”.
So sad.
Simply impeccable vocals for a superb song. About time Cliff got some credit for his craft. Damn, even his 'acting' in this is perfect! A masterpiece.
Martin Hugh Quite right sir.
ALAN.WILLIAMS
This is his best song.
Excellent summation
i love this song because my name is Carrie and i listen to your sing all the time you are amazing
My favourite Cliff song of all time. A haunting melody and melancholic lyrics.
This whole album is melancholic and tunely unforgettable.
I Can’t Believe there is Only 1 Million Plus Views on This, Cliff Is a Ledgend of Music & Always Will Be, I Grew up Listening to him & Still at 53 Yrs of Age Still Listening Now.
January 2023...still love it
Damn, I’ve heard thousands and million of songs but this song is just so different from any other song. A piece of music that is truly eternal. Cliff Richard Forever ♾️❤️🔥♾️
Absolute brilliant.
This was a big hit in late 1979.
I love that sax in the moddle of the song.
Hubo una epoca en que cualquier cancion que sonaba en la radio era sublime, melodiosa, bien compuesta e instrumentada y con un gran juego de armonías.
Masterclass in song writing.
One of his greatest hits for sure!!
Brilliant cliff . Why is he so underrated. Pure class .
densaner77......Cliff has done many songs like this. Thats why im a fan
A song the staff at 10 Downing Street will soon be singing.
Born in '75 and was brought up listening to this man's voice over the radio. I love him and his music. Will never be able to find a musician as talented as the ones I grew up listening to... "the young wear their freedom like cheap perfume" so apt for today.
Strength to you, dear Sir Cliff Richard. Lots of love from warm South Africa!
Cliff's best song in my opinion :)
How fitting is this song for Carrie of 10 Downing St 🤣
I remember driving home & hearing Carrie on a local AM radio station. For weeks I listened to that same radio station hoping it would be played again. It seemed to disappear, no replays. Awesome song haunting emotional melody, cool groove & "Steely Dan" style chord changes on the chorus & great sax solo. I was really wanting to learn the song & add it to our bands set list. It was back in the day way before you could just pull it up online. 35 years later I found the mystery song on UA-cam. Thanks Cliff, It truly is one of my "desert island songs" !
This my friends, is a timeless masterpiece. You wont find many better these days.
Absolutely.
I was brought up on cliff and elvis much better words and songs than cardi b singing about her lady garden or most of the modern guff
@@kevinrafferty7250 p
So true - I love this brilliant song. My heart aches to remember that this is what "pop music" used to sound like.
I'd like to dedicate this to BloJo and his current squeeze.
Theme tune for Downing Street today. :-)
Wow, I have not heard this song since it was released. Still holds up. Great song!
This is a truly iconic song, sung by an iconic singer. My favorite singer..
Best song he ever did
Simon George I agree
Yes, a superb song and performance by Cliff. But this was the Autumn of his career and he should have quit while he was still ahead.
One of the Greatest!!!!
The remarkable Carrie.......great vocal delivery from Cliff. Atmospheric track.
Love cliff from the time when the best music in the world was being created 60s 70s 80s
Cliff at his best.
His best ever song by far, great melody, atmospheric, excellent lyrics, and a great song. If this was a metal song it would be superb.
This song was great in the 80’s and it’s still great today.
Not really, it's 1979. It's close to 1980.
All time classic.....love it
LOVE THIS SONG ALWAYS
My favourite CR song...reminds me a tiny bit of Steely Dan...
More like the Tarney Spencer Band.
I agree on the Steely Dan thang. Such cool modulations.
Absolutely there’s a Steely Dan influence - the chords in the chorus are 100% a particular type of voicing that the Dan were very fond of and are all over their albums.
Chez Moi Devil woman...👍
I agree. Donald Fagen type chord changes.
My Mum is a huge fan of Cliff. I was brought up on his music and was a teen in the 80's. Loved this era of his music.💞
The saddest part is good music and singers are so criminally under rated. THINK OF CLIFF! I have his albums which others may look down at but I DON'T CARE! I'll collect albums I enjoy, not what YOU enjoy, cool people! And Cliff WAS the best of that time. What a voice! Amazing craftmanship!
Say what you like about Cliff, but this is a good song. Also like Wired For Sound and Devil Woman...
His 3 best songs alongside we don’t talk anymore.
What an amazing voice. His vocal delivery is unbeatable. He sure knows how to get the best out of a song, and such a great record. A joy to listen to.
CARRIE ...I LOVE THAT SONG.. HAVENT HEARD THAT SONG FOR MANY YEARS GREAT SONG IT IS
This is a Fab track,the song and haunting arrangement give poignancy. Not a Cliff fan but this is superb.
100% Balearic
Juliet you're spot on with your comment. I'm not a cliff fan either but a good song is a good song and this is absolutely superb. For me his golden period was very late 70s/early 80s when this song, Wired for Sound, and Dreaming (my fave) were prevalent. X
This is an artist, amazing 💙
I totally love this song 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
This man is s legend one the the best ever .
❤️LEGEND LOVE THIS 💪😎😘
He is amazing, so brilliant, isn’t he? Cliff can handle any song.
Pigeon doesn't live here anymore, pigeon got a room on the second floor
His bum friends say the same thing. “Cliff can handle any dick !”
Great song, beats all today's shit hands down
Absolutely!
My shits got worse as I’ve got older. It used to be firm and even when I was young. Now I get runny days as I’ve got older 💩
Got to be his coolest song ever...
Definitely, although I also like Give A Little Bit More from 1983.
This song always haunts me. It's as though he realizes that Carrie is the one that he loves and he really needs to find her again. But she's gone. Not just gone but disappeared and nobody knows what happened to her. Now she'll always be one of his deep regrets with a question mark hanging over it.
The right sentiment, universal appeal, this song should be played more often on 80's retro, smooth jazz, 'the vault'-like format stations.
Perfect pop song. Production and playing is top notch. Some of the harmonisation reminds of Steely Dan's jazzy sophistication, whilst retaining a bit of rock edge. Written by Terry Britten and BA Robertson. Terry played guitar in Cliff's band through the 70's, co-wrote Devil Woman, and went on to more success with Tina Turner, co-writing and producing What's Love Got to Do With It amongst others. A real perfectionist in the studio, and with a superb pop singing voice of his own, too.
Amazing song! Starting with "The Young Ones" and "On the beach", through your 80s creations ("Stronger" etc), I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED AND I DO LOVE YOUR MUSIC! Have a good weekend, Sir!
This was when Cliff looked at his best and was performing some great songs.
Just found this song, Cliff has a Dr. Hook + Rick Springfield 'Jesse's Girl' vibe in this song to me.
אחד היפים והאהובים והרומנטים 🧡💚💜💚❤
I believe that this is an amazingly creative well crafted song. Terribly overlooked by the "cool" people who have overlooked many others...
Always loved this mans music such a lovely distinctive voice xx
he did some cracking records
Almost all of them were
This and devil woman rocked his best era.
Love this song,lyrics,music,vocals,everythings just brilliant.....
Brilliant.Cliff at his best.
Can't. Stop. Listening.
This song's chorus is soon going to be sung for the PM's wife... 😉
Stupenda canzone che non conoscevo ,voce ed esibizione perfette ,sempre un'emozione Cliff ❤💯
Very nice bass work! Bass line during chorus at 0:57-1:02 (and elsewhere) is harmonically rich.
Jonp Played by the great Herbie Flowers.
Can't say I care much for Cliff but credit where it's due, this is a cracking song.
Was gunna say exactly the same thing, but ya beat me to it.
He beat you by 4 years and 11 months according to his post timestamp!😂 seriously though this is a great underrated song by Cliff!
Cliff was, still is and will always be one of the best acts in the biz. =)
I love cliff Richard songs
Just brilliant!!
this song is definetely underrated
Maybe Michael was the King of Pop, but Cliff was the handsome prince.
Our Knight in shining armor
@@margiehawkins6327 yes
Cliff always had a nice voice
The cool about this song is how urban and jazzy on the style of Steely Dan it is . Pure New York City nights on early 80’s . Love it!
Reminds me of Hall & Oates too.
@@mjh5437 agree 👍🍺
Yeah + a little Dr. Hook and Rick Springfield's 'Jesse's Girl' vibe mixed in as well.
great song, well sung, well written, and well 'acted' by him. A great artist
Still listening 39 years later!
My favourite Cliff song just quality 🌟
Named after this song! Thought my dad had written it for ten yrs lol wind up merchant! Lol love the song!
Sometimes I wish I was born 45 years earlier so that I could be in Denmark when he would come and do concerts. He's my absolute favorite singer!
A brilliant song 🎵 ❤️ love this song. Good looking Cliff ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻💓💓💓🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵💓💓❤️❤️💓💋💋
Haven't heard this in close to 30 years. Favorite song at the mo once again!! 👂💜
It’s my favourite too Jenny
Absolutely brilliant song yet never got anywhere in the charts.
It was a hit in the UK, (reaching No. 4).
Did well in Australia as well
It did make the Top 40 in the U.S., #34 on April 19, 1980.
Didn't realise that. Thanks.
