Forty Years After, Word Comes of Fixed Eurovision Song Contest
2008-05-05 23:10:00 Back in 1968, Cliff Richard was the favorite to win the annual Eurovision Song Contest for his composition Congratulations. When the final vote was announced, Spain's Massiel beat him out by just one vote for his song La La La. According to a new documentary from producer Montse Fernandez Vila, the win was fixed by then Spanish leader Francisco Franco.In the documentary, TV host Jose Maria Inigo says "It was a fix. Massiel won Eurovision with bought votes."Franco saw a victory in the contest as vital in boosting Spain's image abroad. To accomplish the task, he had Spanish TV executives make deals across the continent for programming in return for votes.Bjorn Erichsen, head of Eurovision TV, was not aware of the controversy, although he did know that there had been back room deals in the past to swap votes. It is one of the reasons that the contest did away with national juries.Erichson said, "Franco was really so keen for Spain to win it? We're not talking about NATO here or...

Cliff Richard turned down being clicked with Elvis
2008-02-06 09:19:00 Singer Sir Cliff Richard once turned down the chance of being photographed with Elvis Presley - just because “The King’ was looking a bit too fat. Richard idolised ‘The King of Rock 'n' Roll’ and always dreamt of having his picture taken with him. However, on finally getting his chance in 1976, Richard turned it down as the iconic singer was looking "really heavy" at the time. "I noticed that when he was making a film he would diet down and regain the animal magnetism. And I wanted a picture of Elvis looking good. So I said no and I waited,” Contactmusic quoted Richard, as saying. But, as unfortunate as it may sound, Presley died a year later due to a heart attack and since then Richard has regretted his decision. "I really kicked myself,” he said. (ANI)

Cliff Richard Leads the Way to New Marketing for Downloads
2007-10-31 01:15:00 The Cliff Richard Organization and EMI Music are teaming up for a unique promotion for Richard's new release, Love, The Album.Richard's fans are rather old school and not as prone to downloading, but the companies want to change that with this release. The initial price for the download of the album will be 7.99 pounds (about $16); however, the price that everyone pays will go down as the number of pre-orders goes up. Although they are not giving exact numbers, if a certain threshold is passed, the price could drop as low as 3.99 pounds (about $8).Richard has become an unlikely leader in the campaign for industry change. He was in the forefront of the fight to change British copyright laws and is now leading the way into new marketing in the new media."Who'd have thought I'd get a buzz from creative marketing?," he said. "As artists we face a stark choice. We either keep one step ahead of the technology which is changing our industry so radically, or we throw up our hands...

Cliff Richard - Angel (1965)
2007-05-18 03:28:00 Britain's answer to Elvis Presley, Richard (born Harry Webb) dominated the pre-Beatles British pop scene in the late '50s and early '60s. An accomplished singer with a genuine feel for the music, Richard's artistic legacy is nonetheless meager, as he was quickly steered toward a middle-of-the-road pop direction. Several of his late-'50s recordings, however, were genuinely exciting Presley-esque rockers -- especially his first hit, "Move It" (1958) -- and gave British teenagers their first taste of genuine homegrown rock & roll talent. Backed by the Shadows -- clean-cut instrumental virtuosos who became legends of their own -- Richard embarked on a truly awesome string of hit singles in Britain, scoring no less than 43 Top 20 hits between 1958 and 1969. One of these, although it was by no means one of the more successful, was an actual Mick Jagger/Keith Richards composition (the ballad "Blue Turns to Grey"). In his homeland, Richard's popularity was diminished only slightly by ...
