Hahaha - OMG, its too funny. I know this means diddly squat to our Yankee brethren, but the Virgin Queen of British pop says, well, read it. It's so fucking funny.
The silly ass hole said similar about the Stones. So did Tom Jones. So did Aussie Christian fuck hole, Tommy Emmanuel. Tommy said he always hated the Stones because they were out of tune. Of course, the limp fucker didnt know about alternative tunings.
But back to Cliffy. Does the fag actually play any instrument? Does he write any lyric?
Cliff is actually quite important to the development of British Rock 'n' Roll. Himself and the likes of Tommy Steele were pioneers in a way and as the excellent feature in this months Q magazine testifies, Cliff's Move It was the first bonfire British Rock 'n' Roll classic.
He may of found God (his choice and something that should be respected), a lot of his music's tame beyond belief), but he deserves his dues. His longevity is the reason as to why he's the model for any aspiring pop star.

"one of the more successful [Cliff Richard songs], was an actual Mick Jagger/Keith Richards composition (the ballad 'Blue Turns to Grey')."
Wasn't there also some early rock history about the name similarities and how Stone's management wanted to present/display our young Keef's name to avoid confusion?

Supposedly the reason why Keith dropped the 's' from his surname was to 'suggest' a family link.
A prospect which is pretty surreal on reflection

And, before I found that out, I thought he was trying to invoke images of Little Richard, a much more rockin' rocker..

He had a string of US hits in the late 70's/early 80's on the strength of people confusing him with Leo Sayer.

Cliff Richard isn't a musician, I've played along with the Beatles & The Stones records in my teens, & none were out of tune, otherwise I couldn't be in sync with them with the tuning, Cliff Richard probably never played a guitar in his life, he did, as mentioned earlier, "Blue Turns To Grey" but he still knocks The Stones, The Beatles ruined his career, that's what he's pissed about.

And this thing about (Beatles) Horrific guitar solos, I think they had brilliant guitar solos, Like "Can't Buy Me Love" /I Feel Fine/Day tripper & so on, were great, before The Beatles (and the English invasion happened) he would have had a big career, but those long haired bastards ruined that, those Bugs & those Rolling rocks (as Elvis described the English Invasion) destroyed the sex symbol sex star, by actually being a band without a good looking guy that was the main target.

Cliff Richards balls must be the size of Jupiter by now! I think he's still pining for Una Stubbs.

True and true. The Beatles were all good guitarists and very imaginative.
Cliff was the most successful British pop star in the UK from 1958-1963. Rock 'n' Roll going out of fashion and The Beatles caused his popularity to wane slightly. He picked himself up though and through going down the cheesy balladeer route, got himself a new audience of house wives. It’s stuck and that’s partly why he’s not taken seriously. If you have any idea about the evolution of British music though and those crucial to its early successes, then you understand how important Cliff Richard is.
