This was Cliff Richard’s biggest selling hit worldwide. He was a sensation in Great Britain, but never made a major impact in the United States. This was released when his career in America was at its peak.

The hummed backing vocals on the chorus are by Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry – a Cliff fan of old.
