Description


EMI Catalogue No. EMI UK 3244 Matrix Nos. 2344B/2344A Hard to find withdrawn single.1975
"Honky Tonk Angel" is a rare1975 single recorded by Cliff Richard, which was withdrawn when the singer discovered that 'honky-tonk angel' is an American slang term for a prostitute.  The song, which was written by Troy Seals and Denny Rice, was originally recorded by country music artist Conway Twitty and released as a single in the United States in January 1974. One of Cliff Richard's producers, Bruce Welch, heard the song and considered that it would make a good 'comeback' single after disappointing chart performances in 1973 and 1974. A version was then arranged for Cliff Richard by John Farrar, with a string arrangement by Nick Ingman. During his 50th Anniversary tour in 2008, however, Cliff revealed that he could not remember why he banned the song so he decided to reprise it!
