Cliff Richard rocks around the Christmas tree
"Oh yeah," Cliff Richard sings, and the Christmas party is on. more
He wears a dark jacket that catches the light, and the Christmas lights behind him blur into warm dots. The song is "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," an old favorite, and he gives it plenty of bounce.
SaveThen comes the plan for the evening. There will be "pumpkin pie" and a "sentimental feeling," and a beat that, as one fan put it, gets your friends up and moving.
He has more than one look. There's the shiny jacket, and there are black shirts with stripes, silver on one and gold on another. Either way, he's smiling.
SaveFans had specific praise. One loved the dance moves. Another said the pacing was spot on, and a third said he showed exactly how much he enjoys Christmas.
The best line may be the one about "everyone's dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way," because it fits him so well. Then he calls "take it away," and the music carries on without him for a while before he comes back in.
SaveHis fans have been with him a long time. One grew up with his music, from "Move It" to "We Don't Talk Anymore," and says he looks so youthful here. Another wrote that his songs got him through some sad break-ups while he was serving in the Marines.
SaveGreetings came from Russia, from Charleston, West Virginia, and from Motown. One fan wished everyone a merry Cliffmas, which might be the best holiday word anyone has come up with.
