'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.

Love is the answer
Open your heart
Every day we read about destruction
Can't believe we do what we do
Let's take the world in a new direction
Let every step move us closer to that miracle
Love is the key that opens up a new way
Love is the answer we've been searching for
Open your heart if you're looking for a miracle
The miracle is love
Everybody wants to win the wheel of fortune
Say they'll be happy when they do
People looking for their ticket to salvation
Every step should bring us closer to that miracle
We're got to spread the good news
Oh, love is the key that opens up a new way
And love is the answer we've been searching for
So open your heart if you're looking for a miracle
The miracle is to be as children, laughing
To see the goodness love brings
'Cause it's love that makes us one, oh
