I love these classics. It was a day when they didn't need makeup and crazy stage decorations or antics. It was about the words and the voices. No autotune.

[@SirManfly]

The only song of his that I actually bought back when it came out because it was an actual rock song and Cliff had a reputation of putting out more of the soft music.

[@namegoeshereorhere5020]

Yeah because in 1976 there were no makeup or crazy set decorations or antics.....Guess I imagined KISS, Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, The Stooges, Edgar Winter, David Bowie, Ted Nugent, The Who, etc. etc. etc.

Brings me back to when I was a little kid used to hear this song all the time. Also the song we don't talk anymore is good.

[@krazycatz]

Cliff Richard is considered to be a living legend in the UK and the rest of the world. When this song came out in 1976 he had already been in the music industry for 18 years starting with his first song “Move It” in 1958 which is credited as the first British rock n roll song. Move It was written by Ian Samwell who was a member of his band at the time. Devil Woman was written by another band member Terry Britten and Christine Author Holmes. A devote Christian many people question why Cliff Richard would record a song like Devil Woman. He explained in his opinion it was a warning against the occult. Devil Woman became his first American top 10 song. A fun fact you probably do not know about Cliff Richard. Although he is still almost unknown here in the USA, in the Uk he has had a number 1 song in the 1950s, the 1960s, the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s, and the 2010s. I can’t remember if he had another number 1 song in the 2020s or not. No other artist in history has achieved this accomplishment. True there are artists who continue to have record sales long after they have died, but that’s not the same thing. Although I’m an American born after Beatlemania I have been a Cliff Richard fan for over 40 years. He has had many fans who have followed his career since the beginning in 1958.

[@walterpanovs]

Cliff was sort of like England's answer to Elvis back in the late '50s and '60s. He had loads of hits in the UK and across Europe but never crossed over to the states until the '70s with this hit and a couple more.

[@davidschecter5247]

He has had a Top 5 album in the UK charts for EIGHT DECADES IN A ROW. Nobody has ever done that except for Cliff.

[@danrice8845]

[@HallowHag]

Classic! I walked down the ‘aisle’ to this song for my Halloween wedding. Funny enough, it was written about a cat!

[@joes2514]

Completely underrated song. So many intricate nuances. The song is about him seeking out a fortune teller, a mystic, to give him insight into an evil eyed cat he saw at his door. As it turns out, it's the fortune teller who actually cast the spell that brought him to her.

He has been a single man unmarried his whole life. He has had many no 1 songs especially in Britain where he mainly has lived.

Cliff is the favourite of my mother. She grew up with 9 siblings and every uncle and aunt of mine had a different favourite artists. From the Rolling Stones and the Who to Cliff Richard and Elvis and everything in between. They didn't had a toilet in the house, slept with four people in one bed (white privilige in the Netherlands and all that) but happy times and freedom. She's now one of the few left but everytime she hears Cliff she smiles from ear to ear. "That's sooo good music and isn't he beautiful ?". "Yes ma, you said it a trillion times since I was zero :)"

Great Song from an British Icon. He is the most successful British singer of all time and is the only performer to have scored a number one hit in the British charts in five consecutive decades. He has released more than 100 official albums to date and sold over 250 million albums.A great hit from 1963 "Lucky Lips" or the german Version "Rote Lippen soll man küssen" are great.

Music videos were a new concept in the 1970s, so the quality and style of production was pretty simple compared to what came later, with the advent of MTV in 1981. Cliff Richard was a superstar in the U.K. from the 1950s clear through the 1980s. Many people considered him to be the British equivalent of Elvis Presley. He didn't have quite as much commercial success in the U.S., though, but he had a good, solid run in the late 1970s and early 1980s. "Devil Woman" was his biggest hit in the U.S., peaking at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 25, 1976. It's worth noting that this song spent three consecutive weeks at its #6 peak, so the top of its chart run was literally 6, 6, 6. How fitting for a song named "Devil Woman." In all, Cliff Richard had 21 hits on the Hot 100 from 1959-1983, including nine Top 40 hits, as follows: "Living Doll" (w/ The Drifters) (#30 in 1959) "It's All In The Game" (#25 in 1964) "Devil Woman" (#6 in 1976) "We Don't Talk Anymore (#7 in 1980) "Carrie" (#34 in 1980) "Dreaming" (#10 in 1980) "Suddenly (w/ Olivia Newton-John) (#20 in 1981) "A Little In Love" (#17 in 1981) "Daddy's Home" (#23 in 1982) I'd highly recommend "We Don't Talk Anymore," "Dreaming," "Suddenly" and "A Little In Love." And speaking of music videos and MTV, "A Little In Love" made history as one of the first 100 music videos aired on the first day of MTV (August 1, 1981). It was the 68th, to be exact.

Art Bell had a radio show people would call in and he had callers tell their personal ghost stories. A guy from Miami called and said when he was young sometime around 77 or 78, he was working as a night guard. He came home to his roommates, who liked to tinker with occult stuff. They were in the basement doing some sort of ritual with a protection circle, and he sarcastically yelled, "If there is a devil, give us a sign". As soon as he said that, an old broken transistor radio in a locked case that no one could get into (long story involving super glue and a broken key) started playing the chorus to this song when it hadn't worked in years.

He sold really well in the UK but has a slightly undeserved reputation as being irredeemably naff, maybe because he was always well behind the current trend? Looking back from the 2020s a few years here or there don't really make much difference and he definitely had some great songs.

The song was written by Terry Brittan and Christine Authors. The song is told from the point of a view of a man jinxed from an encounter with a stray cat with evil eyes, and his discovery that the psychic medium whose help he sought to break the curse was the one responsible for the curse in the first place. However, the nature of the curse is not made clear.
