Search - Cliff Richard :: Healing Love (Songs Of Inspiration)

International superstar, Cliff Richard, returns to America and Contemporary Christian Music with Healing Love Songs of Inspiration. Cliff's first CCM project in 23 years gathers together some of the world's most inspiring tunes and offers Cliff's versions of them for the first time in the United States. Cliff's original material is showcased on the top 20 UK title track, "Healing Love" and the #1 "Saviour's Day." "The Millennium Prayer," which also hit #1, deftly weaves heartfelt lyrics around a musical telling of "The Lord's Prayer." He also interprets some American classics, like the evergreen "Butterfly Kisses," which hit #1 for its writer Bob Carlisle across several secular and mainstream radio formats. Cliff eloquently covers Bette Midler's "From a Distance" and gives a stirring performance on the "Rainbow/Wonderful World" medley. He even recalls his roots when he delivers his brand of rock n' roll on Larry Norman's ground-breaker "Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music." When I finally met Cliff on a Compassion trip to Haiti [in 1984], I was even more impressed with how he interacted with the children. His warmth and smile invited these kids to embrace him as a loving man who really cares. - Phil Keaggy
