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.

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.
Girl Like You
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've just met
Just how lucky can one boy get
There's a light in your eye
I know it's love and I know that I could be happy
With a girl like you
Tell your mom tell your pa
We're in love, just by chance
I asked you would like to dance
Fancy dancing with a girl like you
Funny how love can come to a lonely heart
I'm a boy, you're a girl I guess that's a pretty start
Here I am, there you are
Together baby we should go far
A girl like you, a boy like me
Two hearts together like they ought to be
Can't believe
I've got a girl like
Cliff Richard's song, 'A Girl Like You' is a sweet love song about a boy who meets a girl and instantly falls in love with her.

He goes on to say that her light shining in her eye is a sign of love and he feels happy just being around her.
The chorus of the song goes on to express the boy's desire to share his love with the girl's family and even her favourite wishing star. He asks her to dance and is happy just being together with her. The boy acknowledges that their love is unusual, but he is willing to make it work because a girl like her is worth it. The song ends with him expressing his disbelief and joy at having found a girl like her to love.
The song speaks to the magic of love that can happen to anyone if they are open to it. The boy in the song seems to be smitten and can't believe his luck at having found a girl like her. It is a song about being grateful and appreciative of finding true love and treasuring it.

Daniel Vercauteren
Cliff remains that 'sweet sixty feelin' icon who fills one heart with a warm and happy feelin. Though too underestimated in media, he is a giant with such long career and tremendous long list of great songs. His voice is an iconic one because of its immense warm timbre. Great human being, great music.
