A Little About Cliff

Here is a lttle about Cliff.........

He was born in Lucknow, India on 14th October 1940 - Harry Rodger Webb where he lived a very comfortable life, until he had to flee India with his family. He came to England as a little boy and family financial circumstances changed dramatically then. Life was far from easy. He underwent bullying and name calling at school because of his dark colouring, but he learnt to fight back.

In March 1958 he changed his name to Cliff Richard and also formed the group -The Drifters (The Original backing group)

His inspiration was mainly Elvis who, unfortunately, he never had the chance to meet and had regretted it ever since.

His first release was a double A side - Schoolboy Crush / Moveit - released in August 1958. Move it made No 2 in the pop charts.
