This guy has been around the block for 55 years, performing that is.
This guy has sold more records worldwide than any other artist, dead or alive.
This guy is releasing his 100th album ( compilations included) on November 11th.
This guy still goes on tour every year, and during the last five years he has done a bigband tour ( Bold as Brass) an soul tour including icons from the past such as Fifth Dimension, Percy Sledge, etc.( Soulicious ) and has released DVD recordings of each and everyone of them, generally topping the charts in the UK and other countries.
This guy started out in 1958 with a Rock and Roll Classic.
This guy is now releasing an album trailers of which can be heard if you go to Youtube and type :
Cliff Richard-Mix From The New Album 'The Fabulous Rock 'n' Roll Songbook' part 1 ( recorded at Nashville in May 2013)
And while you are at it, there are thousands and thousands of clips and recordings of him on youtube.

For some reason , apparently due to the lack of musical taste of Americans he only had three major hits in the USA. But he is a legend both in Europe as well as in the far east, Japan, Australia , South Africa, you name it.............

Oh and his best album ever was recorded in Nashville as well in 2006. Here is a song from that album:

Absolutely one of my long-time favorites. A major star in many parts of the world.

My ideal combination of excellence in singing and entertainment.
His duet with Olivia was a major work of beauty.

I once played in a skiffle competition with Harry Webb. Now that's going back a bit.

Would sure like to hear what he REALLY sounds like. Michael Bublé = AUTOTUNE.

Horrbile, horrible stuff.

Generally, the use of Auto-tune isn't often the artist's decision.

And there is enough live footage of Bublé singing to make it obvious he don't NEED it. I've heard Celine Dion subjected to Auto-tune on records... anyone think SHE needs it? It's part of the modern producers arsenal of tools, and usually over-used.

Try this... listen to the 'fan' singing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cw1uLVSl1Y His intonation gets suspect, but Bublé's doesn't. Same mike. Cut the guy some frickin' slack. And really... Cliff Richard as a comparison? Apples and oranges. Not to mention, if you want to be fair, wait until Bublé has had 55 years to build a resumé! Cliffy's OK, but he didn't even compare to his contemporaries. Remember, he was doing his thing when Sinatra WAS at his peak of maturity, and no sane person is going to compare Cliffy to Sinatra as a singer..!

Legend? Maybe, but not for being the greatest singer ever, LOL

Great stuff thanx for sharing!!

Your tunnel vision does not seem to be limited to Roland only
Maybe not the greatest singer ever, but one of the greatest and most versatile artists ever. Even Good old Frank could not get near to the versatility of Cliff Richard. Check out these 2004/ 2010/ 2012 concerts: (and bear in mind he was born in 1940 !!!)
