This was an uncharacteristic song for Cliff Richard, but it clicked at the time, as films about supernatural horror like The Exorcist and Carrie were popular. In the song, a man gets jinxed by a black cat with evil yellow eyes, and he goes to a fortune teller, who might be a witch, to break the spell. But it turns out she put the spell on him in the first place.
This was Richard's biggest hit in the US. He was much more popular in his native England.
Cradle of Filth recorded this on their 2005 album Nymphetamine.
