“It’s All In The Game” is a romantic ballad that speaks to the unpredictable nature of love—the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hope that lingers through it all. Cliff Richard’s version, released in 1963, is a graceful interpretation of a song that had already become a pop standard. Originally composed by Charles Dawes (who was once Vice President of the United States) with lyrics added later by Carl Sigman, the song carries a timeless message: love doesn’t follow a straight path, but it’s worth the journey. Cliff’s rendition adds a layer of British charm and emotional sincerity, with his smooth vocals gliding over a lush orchestral backdrop.

The song has a fascinating origin story. Charles Dawes wrote the melody in 1911 as a piano piece titled “Melody in A Major,” never imagining it would one day become a pop hit. Decades later, Carl Sigman added lyrics, and the song was famously recorded by Tommy Edwards in 1958, reaching number one in the US and UK. Cliff Richard’s version came just a few years later, bringing a softer, more romantic tone that resonated with his fans. There’s a story that Cliff chose to record the song after hearing it on the radio during a quiet evening at home, struck by its emotional depth and lyrical honesty. He later said it reminded him that love, like music, doesn’t always follow the rules—but when it works, it’s magic. His version didn’t top the charts, but it became a cherished part of his love song repertoire, often played during his more intimate live sets.
