Sir Cliff Richard OBE (born Harry
Rodger Webb; 14 October 1940) is an English singer, musician, actor, and
philanthropist who holds both British and Barbadian
citizenship. He has sold more than 250
million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
He has total sales of over 21 million singles in the United Kingdom and is
the third-top-selling artist in UK
Singles Chart history, behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
Richard was originally marketed as a
rebellious rock and roll singer in the style of Presley and Little Richard.
With his backing group, the Shadows,
he dominated the British popular music scene in the pre-Beatles period of the
late 1950s to early 1960s. His 1958 hit single "Move It" is
often described as Britain's first authentic rock and roll song; John Lennon once said that "before Cliff and the Shadows, there had been
nothing worth listening to in British music". In the early 1960s, he had a
prosperous film career with films including The Young Ones and Summer Holiday. Increased focus on his
Christianity and subsequent softening of his music led to a more middle-of-the-road image, and he
sometimes ventured into contemporary Christian music.
Over a career spanning 60 years, Richard has
amassed several gold and platinum discs and awards, including two Ivor Novello Awards and three Brit
Awards. More than 130 of his singles, albums, and EPs have reached the UK Top 20, more than any other artist. Richard has
had 67 UK top ten singles, the second highest total for an artist behind
Presley. He holds the record, with Presley, as the only act to make the UK
singles charts in all of its first six decades (1950s–2000s). He has achieved
14 UK No. 1 singles, and is the only singer to have had a No. 1 single in the
UK in each of five consecutive decades. He also had four UK Christmas Nº. 1 singles,
two of which were as a solo artist; "Mistletoe
and Wine" and "Saviour's
Day".
Richard
has never achieved the same popularity in the United States despite eight US
Top 40 singles, including the million-selling "Devil Woman" and "We Don't Talk Anymore".
In Canada, he had a successful period in the early
1960s, the late 1970s and early 1980s, with some releases certified gold and
platinum. He has remained a popular music, film, and television personality in
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Northern Europe and Asia, and retains a
following in other countries. When not touring, he divides his time between
Barbados and Portugal. In 2019, he relocated to the United States.
Silver is a 1983 studio album by Cliff Richard,
marking his 25th anniversary in music. The North American version was titled Give
a Little Bit More and had a revised track list.
A
limited edition 2-LP box set of Silver was also released in the UK. The
second LP, entitled Rock 'n' Roll Silver contained 9 new recordings of rock and roll classics, including Richard's debut single "Move It",
and one new song "Makin' History".
The album reached number 7 in the UK Albums Chart and earned Gold certification.
Love can't you see
I'm alone
Can't you give this fool a chance
A little love is all I ask - a little kindness
In the night
Please don't leave me behind
No - don't tell me love is blind
A little love is all I ask and that is all
oh Love i've been
searching so long
I've been searching high'n'low
A little love is all I ask - a little sadness
When you're gone
Maybe you need a friend
Only please don't let's pretend
A little love is all I ask and that is all
I wanna spread my
wings - but I just can't fly
As a string of pearls and pretty girls go sailing by
Ocean Deep - I'm so
afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my –
Solitary Room
Ocean Deep - will I ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I'll keep - Ocean Deep
Love can't you hear
when I call
Can't you hear a word I say
A little love is all I ask
a little feeling When we touch
Why am I still alone?
I've got a heart without a home
A little love is all I ask - and that is all
I wanna spread my
wings - but I just can't fly
As a string of pearls and pretty girls go sailing by
Ocean Deep - I'm so
afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my –
Solitary Room
Ocean Deep - will I ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I'll keep - Ocean Deep
I'm so lonely lonely
lonely...
maybe…
