"Please Don't Wait Too Long" & A Note From Cliff Richard
Saturday Matinee Music Video
SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO:
“Please Don’t Wait Too Long (TV appearance)” or “I got mail from Sir Cliff Richard?!?”--On a cosmic jukebox, this affecting 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 songs.
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) for a Franken-compilation CD called GRATEFUL, and I’m grateful that you’re checking out this song right now!
