Book description
Fifty years ago he was just the boy Harry Webb, performing in a local
youth club. Now he is Sir Cliff Richard, the first rock star to be
knighted, with a massive international fan base and a top ten hit in
each of the last six decades. Yet, despite his huge public persona,
the man himself remains a reserved and private figure.
Unflinching in its portrayal of the man behind the musical icon,
this revealing biography marks fifty years of music from the first
British pop star. His fellow musicians, co-stars, directors and Cliff
himself talk candidly about his musical ascendance, the women in his
life, his religious beliefs and his lasting regret that he has never
broken America.
