Check out Throw Down A Line (credited as Cliff & Hank) from 1969. That one is superb and different to the other stuff he was doing around that period.

Cliff was kind of New Wave around this time. "The young wear their freedom like cheap perfume". What a line.

@user-fp7rc6sp5t Ай бұрын

Great line alright, but is it a bit sexist? I mean men don't wear perfume. Not being woke, just asking. Even if it is a bit sexist, still a great line!

Released end December 1979, this captures the late 70's perfectly, and looks forward to the 80's as well. A perfect pop song, perfectly performed and produced.

@fmensah8581 4 ай бұрын

The best song IMO of his late 70s/early '80s re-invention phase - i agree it captures that atmopshere of the 70s-turning-into-80s culture

@paultaylor7082 Ай бұрын

In the UK, the record came out in early 1980, the copyright year on my vinyl copy is 1980. It entered the UK charts in Feb 1980

I remember driving home & hearing Carrie on a local AM radio station. For weeks I listened to that same radio station hoping it would be played again. It seemed to disappear, no replays. Awesome song haunting emotional melody, cool groove & "Steely Dan" style chord changes on the chorus & great sax solo. I was really wanting to learn the song & add it to our bands set list. It was back in the day way before you could just pull it up online. 35 years later I found the mystery song on KZfaq. Thanks Cliff, It truly is one of my "desert island songs" !

Perfect pop song. Production and playing is top notch. Some of the harmonisation reminds of Steely Dan's jazzy sophistication, whilst retaining a bit of rock edge. Written by Terry Britten and BA Robertson. Terry played guitar in Cliff's band through the 70's, co-wrote Devil Woman, and went on to more success with Tina Turner, co-writing and producing What's Love Got to Do With It amongst others. A real perfectionist in the studio, and with a superb pop singing voice of his own, too.
