Back in the early 80s, BBC radio refused to play black dance music as it was known.
Record companies fought to get them to play new songs imported from the United States.
I worked at a company who relesed "Misletoe and wine" a christmas no.1 ridiculed by every music journalist.
Love Cliff or not, a ban on music is just "ageism" in its highest form.
I think it is DESPICABLE that some of these radio stations are refusing to play Cliff Richard's records. They just don't understand what GOOD, TIMELESS pop music is.
Cliff Richard is Britain's GREATEST entertainer. His pop longevity speaks for itself. He is our answer to Elvis. Period.
You radio announcers who won't play his records should be booted off the radio right now.
Some radio stations were also responsible for the idiotic missed opportunities, not playing acts through the years that are some of the biggest names today
As radio plummets in its support onto social media, the powers at be, probably some Guardian reading idiots, should remember that without the beginnings of cliffs rock and roll influence here in the UK you wouldn't have the root of music that inspired generarions of music lovers.
Sign the petition please even if you're not a Cliff fan , for the disgraceful political correct hypocrisy of it all.
to the radio industry.
LONG LIVE CLIFF!
Cliff Richards is a good and fine man. Invading his home and ruddywell filming it... that's the pits! He has and is being seriously unfairly hounded. The world has gone mad! Play his music and stop prejudging him.
