CLIFF RICHARD "wired for sound" 1981
i was at my parents house the other day and i randomly picked out one of their old vinyls to play, this is it!
our American friends may not really know who Cliff is, but in the UK and its commonwealth countries, he was bigger than Elvis Presley for a long long time!
he started out in 1958 and recently released his fiftieth studio album!, he has also had some 150 singles released since those ealr rock and roll days of 1958.
me, im not a big fan, i do own probably 20 of his singles on vinyl but no albums(that i can recall!)...
anyway, Cliff(or Sir Cliff as he is now), has always seemd too sugar coated and sickly sweet for me...
this album contains a cover of an old 1950s hit(not sure who recorded it though?) called "daddy's home", its the only one i love on here,superb version IMO, and it did reach top10 in most UK affiliated countries back in the day, but the biggest hit here was the title track...cringeworthy video though showing Cliff roller skating with walkman headphones on(oh my God, i think im going to throw up thinking about it!),
look its pretty hard to knock a guy who is still going, but i do not like this album, also, as a footnote, and for your useless files of music trivia, Cliff Richard is the only artist to have scored a UK #1 hit in all decades from the 1950s thru '00's!amazing stuff really!
