27 APRIL 1966
Cliff and the Shadows had reached #15 in the UK with the Jagger-Richards song 'Blue Turns to Grey', which was still in the UK Top 20 during this week. This was something of a surprising match-up for two very different kinds of artists (in terms of image, at least), and shows the sort of 'mainstream' success the Jagger-Richards songwriting team was having, and also how Cliff could tweak his style a bit to stay musically relevant. His star had dimmed just a little bit by this time, after an incredible run of 23 consecutive top ten hits during 1960-65, but of course he had more Top 10 and #1 hits to come in this decade. Few were as good as this one, though.
