Ep.236 (Of Acapulco, An Englishamn and A La Plage) - the second part on the theme of summer holidays.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my heroes Cliff Richard + 2 stories to tell: It’s still strange to me that Cliff Richard has sold millions of records, made movies, is a musical institution throughout the English-speaking world (and beyond), and is called “The English Elvis Presley,” yet he still barely registers in America. John Lennon said there was no British rock’n’roll worth listening to before Cliff. His back-up band, The Shadows (legends on their own), were led by trail-blazing guitarist Hank Marvin—who inspired a legion of young Brits to pick up a guitar, from Jeff Beck to George Harrison to Mark Knopfler.

In 1979 I became a big Cliff fan, and he became a role model to me for his disciplined, wide-ranging vocalizing, which matches his lifestyle He’s been making records since 1958, but I favor his gospel projects and post-1974 records with Bruce Britten and Alan Tarney. They remodeled his sound, re-inventing Cliff’s sound to reach audiences who favored New Wave, roots rock, and synth-pop.

2 STORIES: 1) I worked with Davy Jones (Monkees) for 20 years. At home he kept a stash of signed books and recordings from people he’d intersected with over the years—June Carter & Johnny Cash, Donovan, Mark Farner, Paul McCartney, Johnny Tillotson, etc. David had good stories to go with these items, but he fondly recalled that his first autograph came from Cliff. David was 12 at the time and said it was one of the few times he felt “starstruck” (little did David know he’d be signing countless autographs not long after).

2) In 1986 I was nudged to submit my song “Please Don’t Wait too Long” to Cliff with the aim of having him cover it. I contacted management, sent my LP and a cover letter, and the weeks passed. Right when I thought it was another pitch into the abyss, I received a kind letter from Cliff and his manager Bill Latham. They carefully critiqued the song and, while Cliff declined on doing it, he told me to send more tunes and to keep in touch. Then I got busy with a band and projects and didn’t follow through, but Cliff’s letter was a huge encouragement in a hectic time.

Here's a clip of Cliff from during the pandemic lockdown, and at age 84 he’s still out on the road!

HB CR and thank you for setting a high bar spiritually and creatively, and getting us to “move it!”
