They even knocked Elvis at the end of his career " fat n bloated" etc. Gives something to write about I suppose.
Cliff's been out of favour with the press and the radio stations for years, the BBC especially seem anti- Cliff and the Shads these days, neither getting much air play. Radio 2 which used to cater for the mature audience is now more for the younger market!
Knock Cliff all you like he's bloody good at what he does, and still has a huge fan base. You dont last 50 years if you dont have talent! Maybe the media haven't cottoned on that he and the Shads are selling out HUGE arenas!
