'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.
She's So Beautiful
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my reply is hard to find.
Oh, I wanna know you better.
Won't you consider one more time.
River flow to shining sea,
Mountain nectar blue.
Children flow like waterfalls,
Sweeter love renew.
Trial and error true.
Oh, if you were to visit there,
You would love her too' ooooo!
She's so beautiful.
She's so kind and free.
She's so beautiful.
She's all there is to me.
(repeat)
Tiny planet spins through space,
Gives my life to me.
Fifteen billion human beings,
Where's our destiny?
Peace then war, then peace again.
Trial and error true.
Oh, if you were to come down there,
You would love her too' like I do!
She's so beautiful.
She's so kind and free�yeah!
She's so beautiful.
She's all there is to me.
(repeat 7 times)
The lyrics of the song She's So Beautiful by Cliff Richard are somewhat cryptic but contain a sense of longing and admiration for a woman who is truly special. The first stanza seems to be a response to accusations that the singer has received about this woman. He wants to understand her better and pleads for her to consider him once more. The second stanza contains imagery of the beauty of nature, the flow of life and how seemingly random circumstances can lead to something wonderful like the woman he sings about. He urges the listener to come see for themselves how special she is and how much he loves her.
The repetition of the phrase "She's so beautiful" serves to emphasize the singer's emotion towards this woman. It's clear that she is more than just aesthetically pleasing, she is kind and free, and everything to him. The mention of humanity and our destiny serves to highlight how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things, but this woman is still a shining star in his eyes. The final repeated line serves as a declaration of love and appreciation for this woman who has captured his heart.
Overall, the song seems to be about the singer's appreciation and love for a woman who is not only physically beautiful but also kind and free-spirited. He sees her as a beacon of hope and light in a world that can often be cruel and unfair.

This is my favourite Cliff song, you can really hear Stevie Wonder on backing vocals and on the musical arrangement too. This track is from Time the musical and some great songs came out of that project including Freddie Mercurys In My Defence. Freddie's last live performance was with Cliff on stage performing in Time. A performance that makes me cry everytime, its beautiful. I'm still heartbroken over Fred all these years later.

Another One Bites The Dust I deeply wish they'd bring Time back! It was such a magical show. ❤️❤️❤️

@Nostalgia Brit Me too, because I was very young when Time was on ☹ so I missed out. I would love to see it ❤ I really feel like I was born too late and therefore missed out on all the great bands and live performances etc. Its just not the same today.
