With his backing group The Shadows, he dominated the British popular music scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s, before and during the The Beatles' first year in the charts. A conversion to Christianity and subsequent softening of his music led to his having more of a pop than rock image. Although never able to achieve the same impact in the United States as in Britain (in spite of several chart hits there), Richard has remained a popular music, film, and television personality in the UK and also retains a following in several other countries.
During the last six decades, Cliff Richard has charted many hit singles, and holds the record (along with Elvis Presley) as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all of its active decades (1950sβ2000s). According to his website, he has sold 250 million records over the course of his career. In the British charts alone, Richard has had more than 150 singles, albums and EPs make the top 20.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Came to nothin' at all my love
When I woke up to find
You were no longer mine
All my love
Throw away after all this time
Now there's no place for me
In the future you see
I've done all I can do
Tell me how could I give you more
More than all my love
All my love
Came to nothin' at all my love
When I woke up to find
You were no longer mine
All my love
Throw away after all this time
Now there's no place for me
In the future you see
I don't understand you
I've done all I can do
Tell me how could I give you more
More than all my love
All my love
Came to nothin' at all my love
When I woke up to find
You were no longer mine
All my love
Throw away after all this time
Now there's no place for me
In the future you see
All my love
Came to nothin' at all my love

All my love
The entirety of my affection
Came to nothin' at all my love
Resulted in nothing at all, despite my best efforts
When I woke up to find
At the moment of realization
You were no longer mine
That you were no longer in my possession
Throw away after all this time
Discarded despite the length of time invested
Now there's no place for me
I no longer have a place in your life
In the future you see
In your envisioned future
I don't understand you
Your actions are incomprehensible to me
I've done all I can do
I have exhausted all efforts
Tell me how could I give you more
Requesting an explanation on how to exceed current levels of affection
More than all my love
Greater than the entirety of my affection

All my love,
Came to nothing and oh, my love
When I woke up to find,
You were no longer mine.
All my love, thrown away
After all this time
Now there's no place for me,
In the future you see.
I don't understand you,
I've done all I can do
Tell me how could
I give you more, more than
All my love

My parents bought me the album titled all my love when I was 10. I gave them some money I had left from my birthday requesting any record by Cliff. Absolutely adore this and have the vinyl after more than 50 years.
Paul Welch
It was the first Cliff album I owned too (a Christmas present form my parents) and both the title track and the album have always retained a special place in my heart. Still have the album and a CD version too. It's going in the car tomorrow..
