'Congratulations' was a global hit as it became a much bigger hit than 'La, La, La', which beat Cliff in the 1968 Eurovision song contest. Shortly after 'Congratulations', which was one of his solo efforts, Cliff recorded his last single with The Shadows. Again in 1973, with 'Power to All Our Friends', he entered the Eurovision song contest--this time reaching 3rd place.
The most sold artist in British Pop history - with over 40 top hits.
Worked with Stock Aitken Waterman in 1989 and the single "I Just Don't Have The Heart".
Sixty appearances at Wembley, plus sellout tour to celebrate 50 years in the business.
First hit: Move It, 1958, first no. 1: Living Doll
As big as he is in the UK, he has only had 3 Top 10 hits in the USA with the biggest still being his breakthrough 1976 single "Devil Woman" which made it all the way to #6.
Has also worked with Elton John, Mark Knopfler, Julian Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Stevie Wonder, Phil Everly, Janet Jackson, Sheila Walsh, Van Morrison, and Olivia Newton-John.
Gee Whizz It's You
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pickin' up those dainty little feet
Who's the one that catches my eye
Everytime she passes by - gee whizz it's you
Ever since we said goodbye, all because of a little white lie,
Let me tell you why we parted, let me tell you what my heart says,
Gee whizz it's you, you're the one that's makin' me blue
Gee whizz it's you, you're the one who can't be true
Little darlin' won't you hear my plea
Won't you please come back to me,
We can pick up where we started, listen now to what my heart says,
Ummmm - gee whizz it's you..........
(Instrumental)
Chorus
Little darlin' won't you hear my plea
Won't you please come back to me,
We can pick up where we started, listen now to what my heart says,
Ummmm - gee whizz it's you..........
Gee whizz it's you
Gee whizz it's you
(Fade Out)
The song "Baby It's You" by Cliff Richard is about a man who sees a woman he still loves walking down the street. He admires her as she walks gracefully, and remembers how they parted due to a little white lie. The man expresses his feelings of sadness and hurt, acknowledging that she is the one who is making him feel blue. Despite being hurt by her, he still longs for her to return to him.
The singer is making an appeal to this woman, asking her to come back to him so they can start over. He knows that they can pick up where they left off and he insists that he is genuine in his plea. The song ends by repeating the chorus, emphasizing that it is indeed her who he wants and needs.
