Clifford T Ward - Gaye - Rare 'Lost' Live TV Clip (Russell Harty Plus Show 12/08/1973)

Stunningly beautiful live recording of his worldwide hit. If anything, this sounds even better than the single.
The show was recorded on 26/07/73, and also features interviews with Robert Robinson, Malcolm McDowell & Beryl Reid plus music from Alan Price. Taken from the LWT master tape.
Following this TV performance Gaye reached a chart high of No. 8, and remained in the charts for a total of 11 weeks.
This clip had long believed to have been lost and it's wonderful that it has now been found. Big thanks to Dominic at Lola Clips for his help and kindness. For the full show lolaclips.com/

[@margaretfrost3022]

We never appreciate what we have until it's gone. You were simply an amazing singer songwriter, the likes of which we will never see again. Sleep well. Gone but never forgotten.

[@Neilzill]

what a song RIP Clifford from a 9 year old lad from Warrington who never forgot this song back in the 70s

[@markwinters1216]

I've just rediscovered this and it's taken me right back

[@PALACEKAV]

Loved this when I was 5,recently rediscovered and it's like meeting an old friend....

[@titamaral]

Eu também nunca a esquecerei! Minha adolescência e o início da minha sensibilidade para a música!

[@grgyll4273]

I remember walking past an electrical goods shop in Chiswick, London, in 1973, when this beautiful song came drifting out into the street. I had to stay right where I was until it finished. A haunting moment never forgotten.

[@lorrainekellyfan]

Clifford T Ward lived from 10th February 1944 to 18th December 2001. A truly great singer songwriter.

Hermoso recuerdo de Clifford T Ward saludos desde Montevideo Uruguay 😘

[@dreamerinalowprofile1952]

Gracias por tu amable comentario

[@paulfox1210]

There's never really been anyone like CTW. Bombarded with all sorts of brilliant music as a student in the early 70s at Lanchester Poly his album Home Thoughts became a fav of mine and it still is.

[@Janarnaud54]

If someone wants to know what Beauty is, hear the album Home thoughts from abroad by Clifford T. Ward. It's the answer.

[@antwit]

Looks like a live vocal to a different backing from the record. Great stuff

[@Yeldah.]

Faultless in performance and what a find, congrats for this.

[@dreamerinalowprofile1952]

Thanks. The credit for the find must go to someone else who tracked it down (apologies for the pun!😉).

[@ewatkins4856]

Such a beautiful voice , taken too soon, love all his music.

[@lyndamcardle4123]

Does anyone else notice the space between each line of lyric which enhances Derek Thomas's acoustic guitar and Richard Hewson's string arrangement ?

[@britishcrimewriter-LeeWood]

Simply beautiful.

[@madwhitehare3635]

His voice makes my heart hurt like too much sugar....🥹 Angelface.

RIP Mr Ward. You taught my elder brother at NBHS back in the day. I attended ten years later so I never had the honour of being taught by you. Still love your wonderful music, timeless as your memory

Remembering Clifford T. Ward born on February 10, 1944. He was an English singer-songwriter, best known for his career as a solo artist. Ward's 1973 album Home Thoughts remains his best known recording and he had hit singles with "Gaye" and "Scullery". His reluctance to tour in support of recorded work may have affected his chances of more substantial mainstream success. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_T._Ward

[@dreamerinalowprofile1952]

Thank you for your comment.

[@TheBrummie60]

Cliff T won ITV's New Faces talent show, I recall.

[@dreamerinalowprofile1952]

I don't recall that he did - but I would love it if could show evidence that he did!

[@clurgee4923]

Edson bons tempos❤😊

[@petemayes1940]

Oh dear me as a kid I found this so boring ,now? It makes me well up,really well up

[@CaptainDarrick]

In my view, the best song by Cliiford T Ward is ' Screen Test ' . I can't get enough of that song . He even has someone reciting Shakespeare at the end , with horns just announcing wildly at the end . It's very different from his normal retrospective songs but I think it is a classic in it's own right ..I would love to know more details about the song ..( who recited the end part for eg ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/onXaeJR9g9CCgNU

[@joeoconnor5400]

Warwickshire had Nick Drake & Worcestershire had Clifford T Ward. Both had class and talent as singer songwriters and were original. Totally unlike a certain individual who is performing as a corporate entity and producing bland, crap music.

[@Lukas-eu5qb]

A Lady called Gaye...I can't say any more...

[@alexanderheath6662]

Gaye was a popular and lovely name for girls. So what is your problem with it?

[@davidcopson5800]

Maybe you should say less - or nothing!

[@alexanderheath6662]

@@davidcopson5800 Likewise to you 🤣

[@maakeklein4073]

It was also the name of one of the greatest soul singers of all time.
