Tuesday February 2, 2021 “We Don’t Talk Anymore” Sir Cliff Richard
This is what a former teen idol at eighty does in covid lockdown. He gathers thirty or forty of his closest musician friends virtually and re-records one of his number one UK songs from 1979.
If I were to list all of Sir Cliff Richard’s hits it would fill several emails but in case you were wondering, his discography consists of forty seven studio albums, seven soundtrack albums, eleven live albums, three stage show cast albums, seventeen mainstream compilation albums, seven box sets, eight gospel compilation albums, forty two EPs and one hundred forty six singles.
The ‘British Elvis” when he was a younger man, Richard had a phenomenal musical career mostly in the UK with the occasional US hit, like this song that was an international top ten way back in the late middle of his career.
And much like Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray, Richard just doesn’t seem to be impacted by age, maybe he has his own painting somewhere absorbing all his evils. Did I mention that he was eighty.
Stay safe and well...and do check out the video, it’s just good fun watching him singing.
