Glad you liked. This song is from 1959, I was there at the show. It was a live radioshow in Carre Amsterdam in 2005. It was Cliff with the Metropole orkest My vriend made that video. I stil love that song.
Sir Cliff Richard is a class act! I have seen him twice and he always put on a great show. lots of hits to choose from...its a REALLLL deep rabbit hole. Thanks for this reaction!
This one song forever changed the music industry in the UK. I am one of those rare Cliff Richard fans (over 40 years) who was born, raised and lived all my life in the USA. I once had a copy of a book that listed the top ten songs on the British charts for every week from 1954 to 1977. The charts were made up by all the sales of 45 records for each week. Later on they also added album sales as a category as well. Before 1954 the charts were made up by the sales of sheet music. In the 1950s the record companies that had a contract with their artists would dictate to their artists what song they would record. The song that the record label would choose for their artists to do was always a cover of an American song. I forgot if it was in 1955 or 1956 but the same song recorded by different artists on different labels was in the top ten charts about six or seven times. When Cliff’s father signed his first contract for him (he was a minor at the time) his record company instructed him to do a cover of an American song called “Schoolboy Crush”. Cliff did as he was instructed but got permission from his record label to do an original song for the flip side of the 45 record. A friend of his named Ian Samwell wrote the song “Move It” on a bus. After both songs had been recorded his record company sent out copies of the 45 to all the radio stations in the UK. The people working at these different radio stations listened to the song “Schoolboy Crush” but never thought about playing it on the radio. Because of something that Cliff had promised his father that could have been the end of his music career. One man named Jack Goode had the same opinion about “Schoolboy Crush” as everyone else did. Jack Goode did something different. He decided to flip the 45 over and listen to the song on the other side. Jack Goode immediately started to play “Move It” on his show and could not praise it enough. Word quickly spread across the UK and soon all the radio stations were playing “Move It” which went on to become the first official British rock n roll song in the UK. This in turn I believe led the record companies to stop being so rigid in dictating what American song they should cover and allowed the artists to record original songs for themselves. Of course the back up band that was formed after “Move It” became a hit The Shadows (especially Hank Marvin on lead guitar) was also an influence on British artists.
That’s Sir Cliff to you 😘😂😘 He is credited as the first real home grown rocker in the UK. John Lennon said if it wasn’t for Cliff there wouldn’t have been any Beatles.
This song was only 1 verse which was repeated. It was reputed to have been written on the bus on the way to an audition for a record label, which is why they didn’t have time to write a second verse. It took over 30 years to write that second verse and Brian May (Queen) recorded the guitars for the modern version which reached 2 in the charts (if I remember correctly). I grew up listening to Cliff as my mum was an avid fan, I still love him and seeing your reaction to his music has been a pure joy!
Super reaction Lisa! But I must point out that 'Brian Bennett' an absolute legend (more so than Brian May in my opinion) played drums on that end of 2006 version which along with his very BEST Christmas song' 21st Century Christmas' reached number 2 in the British charts. On Wednesday November 8th 2006 after they had finished filming and recording what became Sir Cliff's 'Here and Now' 'Live' DVD, both Brian May and Brian Bennett joined Cliff on stage to perform this great version 'live' together. We were told the audience right at the front of the stage would be filmed for this 'video' version and we were ... but it was never included on dvd and only once shown on tv apparently on Paul 'o' Grady's show. I rang Cliff's office about it once but it seems 'only Brian May' owns this performance. Shame, I'd have loved to have treasured seeing myself going mad leaning over the stage and especially admiring 'Brian Bennett' and Sir Cliff.🥰
Sir Cliff Richard. What a wonderful career and music he has shown us, amazing.

You must listen to Cliff singing Thief in the Night with the London Philiamica orchestra and From a Distance at Wembley Stadium Fantastic
Cliff the best

Listen to Clliff singing from a distance at Wembley stadium and thief in the night with the London Philamomic orchestra Fantastic
K
You really ought to react to the 1960 version with the Shadows. Think he was thought of as the UK answer to Elvis for a while!
Just the contrast with the person in the very pink suit in the Young Ones clip 😜! Love it!
I see now, why my mom likes him!
CLIFF AVAIT 65 ANS Quelle classe!!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What a great video.
👏👏👏👍👍👍🙏🙏♥️♥️
I living legend, though i never have followed him much just don't know why, think he wasn't much on Dutch tv mid seventies and after.
Ahhh, mom’s song😢
Ps and it is no kadeng kadeng ! 😂
