'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.
The Next Time
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A true love will come my way the next time
But after you there'll be never be a next time
For me
They say that I'll find happiness in someone
Else warm caress the next time
I'll soon forget your kiss
And heartaches such as this will
They say that I'm a fool to weep, that
I won't go on losing sleep the next time
And someone else will mend the heart you've
Broken in two
But how can I fall in love the next time
When I'm still so much in love
With you
When I'm still so much in love
With you

My wife and I just went to Athens in November... and while I can't sing, when I got to this movie scene location I whistled this very song. Seemed the right thing to do. This is a beautiful song! Sung in a beautiful location!
@melodyj25
Where abouts in Athens was it?
@elliottown1178
I have just returned from Athens. I specifically found the location of this video and traced Cliff’s steps, it’s the most beautiful view of the city.
For those wondering it was filmed at Philopappos Hill. He starts at the cliff edge near the monument and then walks down the hill with the monument to his rear and the Parthenon to his right.
@gaysy1st
It was absolutely the right thing to do. You did it for all of us fans 😊
