Cliff Richard’s music is sweet as honey seeped through the maid’s rooms for countless decades.
Many fans have persisted throughout the years, ever since they were young. Many still do, when the still unreasonably beautiful Cliff turns 80 on 14 October.
Musically, he otherwise laid out with what great-grandmother called barbed wire music.
As a young man he became the fine lead singer in the rock & apos; n & apos; roll group The Drifters. At the same time, Harry Rodger Webb changed his name to what everyone knows today.
Their first hit “Move It” was considered the first truly great British rock classic. At the time, Cliff Richard looked and almost sounded like an English Elvis. However, just without quite the same sexy sway in the hips, and before the Beatles came on the field.
The Drifters became The Shadows and followed Cliff for many years. Not least the 1960s were his decade. No fewer than seven top hits were made with singles such as “Young Ones”, “Summer Hollidays” and the birthday classic “Congratulations”.
Along the way, he changed his musical course in a softer direction. Several times he succeeded in a comeback. With tracks like “Miss You Nights” and “Devil Woman” in the 70’s. In 1979, he again topped the charts with the classic “We Don & Apos; t Talk Anymore”.
Everything went well. Along the way, he was also knighted.
There was not a wafer to squeeze in between the declared Christian and always well-trained and immaculate Cliff and his Lord – before it went wrong.
In 2014, he was questioned and his home was searched in an old case of assault on a minor boy. The alleged assault took place in the 1980s against a boy under the age of 16. Accusations that Richard pure rejected.
The case against the singer was later dropped due to lack of evidence.
In addition, in 2018 he was awarded compensation of almost two million Danish kroner from the television station BBC, which in connection with the case had broadcast a search of his home on television.
Cliff Richard has sold over 250 million records in his career and had 14 number 1 singles in the UK. In addition, he is the only singer to have topped the UK singles chart for five decades, from the ’50s to the’ 90s.
