Getting a letter from Sir Cliff Richard
SONG OF THE WEEK "Please Don't Wait Too Long"
“I GOT MAIL FROM SIR CLIFF RICHARD?!?”…SONG OF THE WEEK: “Please Don’t Wait Too Long”
—On a cosmic jukebox, this affecting pop song would play next to The Beach Boys and Todd Rundgren. The lyrics are about a conversation between a man and a woman that seems romantic, but they’re actually on to bigger, more everlasting matters. Back in the 80s I pitched the song to (now Sir) Cliff Richard, who wrote me a touching letter asking me to send him more of my tunes—which meant a lot to me as Cliff is one of my heroes. My friend Davy Jones (Monkees) was also a fan of this song, and I’m told it was covered by a British pub band. In 2007 I remixed it (w/Scott Francis) and put it on a CD called GRATEFUL.
