Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Cliff Richard's first hit was 'Move It' in September 1958. What was its highest chart position?

Answer: Two

It seems to be forgotten that Cliff was a bit of a rocker when he started out. 'High Class Baby' was another top ten hit in the same year and Cliff was known as the UK's answer to Elvis Presley in his early days.

2. In 1962, Cliff Richard reached number two with a double sided hit. 'I'm Looking Out the Window' was on one side. What was on the other?

Answer: Do You Wanna Dance

The other options all reached the top ten, but in 1964. 'On the Beach' reached number, 'Constantly' was a number four, and 'I Could Easily Fall' made number nine.

3. Cliff Richard managed a number eight hit with which song, more associated with Johnny Mathis?

Answer: The Twelfth of Never

Cliff's version was in 1964. The song also made number one in the UK for Donny Osmond in 1973 and was a minor hit (number twenty-one) in 1995 for Elvis Presley.

4. 'Smoking, shifting, lazily drifting' are lyrics from which of the following Cliff Richard hits?

Answer: Visions

This was a 1966 number seven hit for Cliff. The others did pretty well, too with 'Time Drags By' reaching number ten, 'Blue Turns to Grey' managing number fifteen and 'In the Country' doing best of all at number six.

5. 'The Day I Met Marie' was written for Cliff Richard by which member of his backing group, 'The Shadows'?

Answer: Hank Marvin

Somewhat surprisingly, this peaked at only number ten in 1967. Evocative lyrics - 'Imagine a still summer's day. When nothing is moving, least of all me'. 'The Shadows' were extremely successful in their own right, with numerous hits - mostly instrumentals.

6. Cliff Richard represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest for a second time in 1973 with which song?

Answer: Power to All our Friends

All these titles have potential as Eurovision entries, which tend to be rather bland. Cliff came only third this time, and the song only reached number four in the charts. The other three options were top twenty but not top ten entries in the early years of the seventies.

7. 'She Means Nothing to Me' was a duet for Cliff Richard with which American singer, part of a duo?

Answer: Phil Everly

Phil & Cliff reached number nine with this in 1983. Simon & Garfunkel need no introduction and Bill Medley was one of 'The Righteous Brothers'. 'All I have to Do is Dream' backed with 'Miss You Nights' also made the charts for Phil & Cliff in 1994, reaching a creditable number fourteen.

8. Cliff Richard had a number eight hit in 1983 with which Buddy Holly song?

Answer: True Love Ways

The London Philharmonic Orchestra backed Cliff on this hit, and are credited on the label.

9. Cliff Richard had a number three hit with Sarah Brightman in 1986 with 'All I Ask of You', which comes from which musical?

Answer: Phantom of the Opera

Sarah's former husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber, is responsible for the music to both 'Phantom of the Opera' and 'Jesus Christ Superstar', with lyrics by Tim Rice. 'Les Miserables' is by Schonberg and Boublil and 'West Side Story' by Bernstein, with lyrics by Sondheim.

10. The video for 'Wired For Sound' shows Cliff Richard using which form of self-propelled transport?

Answer: Roller skates

Cliff spend most of the video on roller skates with headphones on. The song is a celebration of being able to listen to music wherever you are. It reached number four in 1981.
