Visions
I decided to record an oldie tonight by Cliff Richard, one of my dad’s favorite singers. He was England’s answer to America’s Elvis Presley in the 50s. Born to Anglo-Indian Parents in Lucknow, India in 1940, he is one of my favorite singers too. I dedicate this song to my dear Father 
.
Here is the link to the MP3.
Visions of you in shades of blue
Smoking, shifting, lazily drifting
My darling, I miss you so
Time goes by, no wonder my
Senses go reeling, your eyes so appealing
I see the whole night through
When will we meet again, when when when
When will we meet again, when when when
I remember the days, beautiful days,
Tenderly gleaming, my whole life seeming
To start, and end with you.
I enjoyed your version of this beautiful song – well done! I liked this song when it first came out and have always remembered it.
Thanks Kevin. Glad you liked it. It’s a beautiful song.
deepen your roots and broaden your vision….in any area !!!
best wishes!!!!
Yes, it should be about broadmindedness as “akaul” says.
I agree, the music is the main thing since it should be a force to UNITE rather than divide..i’ve been an anglo-indian musician myself since 1967,first in the UK and now in Canada.
But i never would HIDE my identity or racial roots in order to gain progress.
If people don’t like the way i look , well, TOO BAD!
Back in the 1940s,’50s & ’60s it was a shameful thing for any entertainer to claim roots with India.
Hollywood actress Merle Oberon was a/indian and passed her own dark skinned mother off as her ‘maidservant”.
UK Singer Peter Sarstedt also had problems in this area.
I could never fathom why anyone does this.
But the main thing is..many, MANY thanks for the film clip and superb music.
[…] Richard. Hope you mates like it. This is the second cover I’ve done of Cliff Richard, after Visions that I did 3 yrs […]
Cliff used to board in with my Aunt Enfield, Middlesex, North London as he was just starting out on his musical career, and I as a kid saw him several times.
If he is not Anglo-Indian with Indian blood he gives a good impression of it, with his dark hair and eyes!
Great performer anyway!
What does it matter.I would have loved to have met him any way.he’s got some magnetism going on.very pleasant to look at.half your luck kevin!
