I can't help giggling at his knock knee's dance in the beginning of the song! 😀

Wow... wonderful nostalgia!!! One of the greatest songs of Cliff Richard... Power to all people who reads this!!! ❤

One of England's FINEST SINGERS! who has stood the test of time and weathered the storm in our fickle music industry for more than 60 years where a lot of singers only have a few years in the industry

Still a great song that resonates now as it did then...

Don't forget this was 1973, when we danced and dressed like this.

I actually was his neighbour when he lived in Portugal, I was around 7 and he worked with my dad as a spokesman for his winery

OK I just watched Cliff dancing, after I read that "high five" comment...I literally laughed out loud. My laugh for the day. ;)

I was draged kicking and screaming to one of his concerts. It was one of the best I have,been to

I remember voting for this in the 'Song For Europe''.I was 7 and i remember asking my date to write out a postcard to send in my vote.

This is one of Cliff Richards' best ever songs. I can remember hearing it on the radio way back in 1973.

I just LOVE this song.

So kind of Cliff to declare paying electricity bills of all his friends 😁

I wish i could dance that good

I bought this single at the time and loved it - I was only 9 though.

One of my country's best entries ....

A well underated song, This is the first Eurovision I remember watching and couldn’t wait to See the Great Cliff belting out this classic and I was only seven.

This is a guilty pleasure.

Weer niet gewonnen!!! Oneerlijk!! Zo,n mooi lied!! Ben al Cliff fan van af m,n 14 jaar!! Cliff voor altijd in m,n hart!!❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️💋💋💋🕺🕺🕺🕺👑💎💯 punten!!!🇳🇱

this entry is so ridiculous yet at the same time it's the purest thing i've ever witnessed i love it so much

Here he is our boy .. cliff . You simply cant get tiered of these classics . When music was music not this racket nowadays ..

This dude has weathered every sort of storm. Even bs accusations that would have crushed another....yet he still is kicking. Cant dance tho.

I was only 9 years old the first time I heard this song,1973. One of your best songs 💗.

My neices love this song and i really like it too !!!

I remember watching it in black & white back in '73 and wanting it to win.

heard that song on public broadcast. ....and gonna loved it. grts from germany

Yooh..this has 2B...the Anthem for all FB's and social media freaks Best song ever.... (after Music was my 1st love...) "Power to the Boys that play Rock n Roll...and make my Life so sweet.... "

I don't care wat people say this song means so much to me the lyrics speak to me and I love it

Even though i'm not a fan of his, i always loved this song!

This Brings Back Many Beautiful Memories of the 70s:)

The backup singers are brilliant. And so is Cliff's jacket.

I like Cliff's swinging arm moving back and forth along with his torso.....power to the bees!! This was a great song, deserved to win the contest by far....

Cliff richard is a living legend like elvis presley , beatles, queen, t,rex , rolling stones all the best

Some say that Cliff Richard is still waiting for someone to return his high-five.

J'ai découvert l'Angleterre en 1975 lors d'un voyage scolaire. Toutes les filles, nous étions amoureuses de Cliff Richard. Nostalgie !

Enough time has passed: This is SOOOOOOOOOO much better than "Congratulations."

You are definitely the first. You are the legendary legend. I congratulate you. I'm from Turkey🇹🇷

Fantastisch de muziek van de jaren 70 !!

Power to the Bees? - God help us! - I remember watching this live and my Sister disappearing behind two cushions with embarrassment at Cliff's dancing

Let's hope the rest of the year brings us all together as well as Cliffs knees 🤣

It is a beautiful song but he had the bad luck to stumble upon one of the best songs that have passed through Eurovision which is eres tú from Mocedades Spain

He crushed his performance with his type of dancing ..

Phenomenal song! 😀👍❤July 2021

Remember i was teen,those were the days...

Certainly no fan of Cliff and if truth be known I came here to mock but in all fairness that was one hell of a vocal delivery , well done Cliff !

One of Cliff Richard best song as well as Mr Dreammaker

Love the shirt!

W 1973 r.skończyłam studia i zaczęłam pracę w LO w Trzemesznie, ale po roku wróciłam do Poznania !!!!!!

Interesting to see John Farrar on lead guitar and Alan Tarney on bass. John of course was part of Marvin Welch and Farrar and went on to write Heathcliffe along with Tim Rice for Cliff. Alan Tarney played bass with the Shadows the following year in their Eurovision song Let Me Be the One. Then Alan wrote and produced some great tracks for Cliff in the late 70’s.

That dancing tho 😂😂😂

Estupenda canción, digna del primer puesto, con un gran ritmo y una gran voz la de Cliff, aún ahora, despues de más de cuarenta años, encanta oirla.

The stage here is so cool! Look at the orchestra set up on different tiers. Very cool!

We see a wild cliff richard, doing the native air slapping dance.

It's so wonderful... 🙏❤️ I love it... thank you so much... 😇🥰💞😘

I simply love Cliff since I first listened to his Congratulations as a kid and tried to sing along, not understanding a single word.

Cliff's moves in the first chorus at 0:50 are monumental, and the look of approval from the musician to the immediate right of the drummer confirm this. Nice one Cliff, you should have won this, but you was robbed!

We are Power. We are Oneness ❤ Its SO important to know NOW

Love cliffs little dance at 1.50

I'd like to do my shopping at Tesco in that outfit.

Canción espectacular y digna de victoria, todo un himno a la amistad. Tema alucinante, lleno de fuerza, sentimiento, ritmo, pureza y verdad. Cliff Richard hace una increíble actuación, aquí está tan deslumbrante! Su tercera posición con 123 puntos no le hace justicia. Fue un gran error. Siempre me ha parecido muy superior a Congratulations. Doy 12 Puntos.

my number one

Australia’s John Farrah with a beard (on the right ) on guitar/ vocals, backing Cliff.

Omg the sound is so clear

Jedna z wielu przepiękna piosenka i to w jakim wykonaniu super

those dance skills tho

Most of our big name acts won't go anywhere near Eurovision for fear of mockery. Fair play to Cliff. He had the spine to go there once, perform well, get beaten and still go back again a few years later for another shot. AND in the daftest garment he could lay his hands on.

Jag gillar Cliff Richard låt Power you are my freind

Cliff does POWER TO THE PEOPLE! This song is clearly inspired by and is cashing in on the mood tapped by, and the 'oompah' style of, The Strawbs' pro-trade union Part of the Union which was No.1 in the UK in Jan 1973, 3 months previously.

Brilliant

That's a great song and voice. The dance... well, I guess you have to put it in context at the time. Too bad it was against two other amazing performances from Spain and Luxembourg.

If the Beatles and the Stones got all the girls of the 60's, then Cliff's definetly got me!

Cliff Richard very good live.👌🏼👍🏼1973👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Never seen him "dance" ... He grew with Elvis so ...

This song has a cover in italian language entitled 1+2=3 and performed by Ricchi e Poveri

Je had so much fun. Great❤

this should have won indeed

Cliff Richard should have won in 1973, Cha cha cha this year...😢.

❤

We got no votes but most Irish people I know were flabbergasted when they said no points and most Spanish people felt the same 🥂

I remember Terry Wogan saying his biggest fear that evening was Eres Tu

Avant il y avait des bons chanteurs avec de bons chanteurs

I love this guy, cos of his great Christmas song. And for this song and "Congratulations". This one is even better, shame that he hadnt won win "Congratulations".

Steady....wait for it.....full body turn around at 2:25 🌋🌋🧨🧨🛶🛶🚀🚀🚀🤹‍♂️

Pekná piesen

Cliff never got over being pipped on the line on Congratulations 5 years earlier...was desperate to win and it showed....

lyrics Power to all our friends To the music that never ends To the people we want to be Baby, power to you and me There's one old man Spent his life growing flowers Caring for the bees Power to the bees There's one old lady Spent her days making wine The wine tasted fine Power to the vine Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll And made my life so sweet And to the girls I knew before And those I've yet to meet Power to all our friends To the music that never ends To the people we want to be Baby, power to you and me There's one strong man Ploughing in the valley He's living off the land Power to the land There's some young girl Laying down in Monte Carlo Laying in the sun Power to the sun Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll And made my life so sweet And to the girls I knew before And those I've yet to meet Power to all our friends To the music that never ends To the people we want to be Baby, power to you and me Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll And made my life so sweet And to the girls I knew before And those I've yet to meet Power to all our friends To the music that never ends To the people we want to be Baby, power to you and me To the music that never ends Baby, power to all our friends

Most people,,especially in The U.S.A. do not realize it WAS Cliff Richards 1st ! B4 The Beatles,,The Stones,,He WAS R & R in England,,his biggest mistake ? He didn't write original songs,,he covered other's songs and got left in the dust..

Sir Cliff didn't have a record deal here in '73; Sire Records in the US picked up the EMI recording and it was a modest hit; pretty good for a Eurovision song. They just don't do well over here, which is kind of silly. This I have on a 45.

How can this song didnt win the contest?

"Power To All Our Friends", has a hippy feel, extolling the virtues of the simple life like "living off the land". Cliff segues confidently between soft, earnest verses and a brassy, rocking chorus. "Power to the bees" he exhorts and who can argue with that?

i remember that song the ask the crowd to write a song and he sang it

The real winner this year

power to the bee's!

Je crois qu'à l'époque, il n'avait pas gagné car il était déjà un professionnel de la chanson. À l'époque, il fallait des gens inconnus.

He is truly one of the greatest british entertainers of all time..Happy Birthday Cliff !

No tu, zdecydowanie lepsza piosenka ,no i śpiewana w rok moich urodzin:)

Idén lett 80 éves!

Don't hold back on that conga Trevor

I wonder why Jack Wild from Pufnstuf was playing the bongos for Cliff Richard.

Tarney/Spencer backing Cliff here, they did a better version of Everly Bros, Cathy's Clown a few years later.

I'm digging the drummer. LOL.
