Cliff himself when interviewed said that he was surprised that a song that was released called "When two worlds drift apart" back in the mid 70s never charted.

Its one of my favourite Cliff songs - full of atmosphere.

My favourite is 'Say You're Mine' which was the 'b' side of his 1963 hit 'Don't Talk To Him'. I like his voice on this one.

Wouldn't say Miss You Nights is that underrated. It didn't chart Top 5 or anything in 1976 but was voted Cliff's best song in a Radio 2 poll a few years ago.

I think one of Cliff's best years was 1983. It was the year of his duet with Phil Everly She Means Nothing to Me and the festive-sounding Please Don't Fall in Love.

I didn't know it was so popular - one of my all time favourite songs along with his version of Clifford T Ward's Up In The World

Both from the same album (and incidentally the only Cliff Richard album I own, purely for those two songs

I love the innocence of Cliff that he thought Honky Tonk Angel was about a bluesy piano player when he recorded the song.
When he found out it was American slang for a prositute he refused to perform and promote the song.
Cute.
