SIR CLIFF RICHARD is 80 years old today:

#CLIFFRICHARD ☺️ In fact, the question is always: were you a Cliff fan or were you a fan of #Elvis . You had a little problem when you said, “I'm for both.” According to the experts, that is not possible. That battle from the late 50s early 60s was followed by the same problem in the mid-1960s: Were you a fan of The #Beatles or from The Rolling #Stones : both do not saat? I have to tell you that I have to answer both assumptions with: I was and still am a fan of all 4.
