Best Rock N' Roll Songbook Collection - Classic Hits & Lyrics for Guitarists & Music Lovers | Perfect for Jam Sessions, Concerts & Music Education

What can you say about this icon singing iconic songs? Fabulous. And that’s actually an understatement.In the past, I have noticed people commenting that the first version of a song they hear (the one they grew up with?) is the one they like the best, and anyone else’s version just doesn’t sound “as good.” Not so with Cliff Richard. First, there’s the voice. Then there’s his arrangement. He usually changes the song just enough that it sounds fresh and completely Cliff. With these songs, he kept the flavor of the “old” rock and roll from the 50s but there are some changes (tempo? words?) that make the songs sound new.If I had to have one complaint it would be that, of the songs from his tour, Fabulous is included but Paralyzed is omitted, but I guess a CD can only be so long? So, if you want to hear him sing that ‘medley’ you’ll have to see his DVD Still Reelin’ and A-Rockin’/Live in Sydney (which you might want to see anyway … 2 hours of some of his hits along with a few songs from this CD … I was there in Sydney and the DVD is also Fabulous!).Since the songs don’t seem to be listed here, they are: Rip It Up, Wake Up Little Susie, Poetry in Motion, Sealed with a Kiss, Stood Up, Such a Night, School Days, Teddy Bear & Too Much, Don’t Let Go, Dream Lover, Stuck on You, Fabulous, Rave On, Johnny B. Goode, One More Sunny Day
