'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.
Shooting from the Heart
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what's wrong or right
But when I say I love you
I'm shooting from the heart
Wish I knew a better way
I hate to use an old cliche
But when I say I love you
I'm just a man of simple words
Living tonight for all it's worth
All I've got is honesty
Touching you is touching me and
When I say I love you
I'm shooting from the heart
Yeah when I say I love you
I'm shooting from the heart
I'm just a man of simple words
Living tonight for all it's worth
I'm just a man of simple words
Living tonight for all it's worth
All these feelings coming out
The only thing I'm sure about
Is when I say I love you
I'm shooting from the heart
When I say I love you
I'm shooting from the heart
When I say I love you
I'm shooting from the heart...

Cliff for #1
This promo video has a fun storyline and I like that Cliff had to do a bit of acting. Most of his promo videos were performance videos. The Rock Connection was a brilliant album that stands up well today. Thanks for the uploads good to see these clips getting an upgrade in quality.
