CLIFF RICHARD "platinum collection" cd, 2005
three cd, 73 track career spanning compilation containing 73 of his then 124 UK singles to date.
Disk 2:
this one spans the years 1965-1981.
he released 53 singles in the UK over that period 24 of which can be found on here.
of the 24, fifteen were top 10 hits and two were #1 hits for him.
IMO he had the majority of his best singles during this period including a number of Christian pop/rock songs
in the late 60s/early 70s.
very few of these songs actually get airplay now and even though i know them all they did sound new and refreshing on this listen.
a very good solid collection of hits IMO
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
the two #1 hits:
1969 - Congratulations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xJcE9tnY6E live
1979 - We Dont Talk Anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8FCZ5x8Gpg German TV performance
my favourite only peaked at #15 on the UK charts proving chart position isnt everything:
