On My Word
"On My Word" is a song written and first released by American singer-songwriter Chip Taylor as a single in April 1964.[2] Cliff Richard recorded his version of "On My Word" whilst in Nashville, Tennessee in August 1964 and features backing vocals by the Jordanaires and an orchestra conducted by Stan Applebaum.[1] It was released as a single in June 1965 with the B-side "Just a Little Bit Too Late" written by Hank Marvin and recorded with the Shadows.[3] Reviewing for New Musical Express, Derek Johnson wrote: "Considerably snappier than "The Minute You're Gone", it's set to a shuffle rhythm with a subtle Latin flavour, plus brass and chirping girls.Cliff sings in huskily appealing low register, which contrasts effectively with the bouncing beat.
