Amazon.co.uk Review
We all think we know Cliff Richard, that safest of British institutions. So one of the joys of this glossy Celebration of Cliff's remarkable 40-year success is the chance to return to those moody rocker days when the Daily Mirror asked, in all seriousness: "Is the boy too sexy for television?" Aided by Kate Shaw, Cliff talks us through his career highs ("Summer Holiday", "Devil Woman") and lows (two Eurovision Song Contests, a mundane BBC series with Una Stubbs) and the not-so-familiar moments--who now remembers Cliff and the Shadows in panto at Stockton, or his legitimate theatre debut in Peter Shaffer's Five Finger Exercise?
We all think we know Cliff Richard, that safest of British institutions. So one of the joys of this glossy Celebration of Cliff's remarkable 40-year success is the chance to return to those moody rocker days when the Daily Mirror asked, in all seriousness: "Is the boy too sexy for television?" Aided by Kate Shaw, Cliff talks us through his career highs ("Summer Holiday", "Devil Woman") and lows (two Eurovision Song Contests, a mundane BBC series with Una Stubbs) and the not-so-familiar moments--who now remembers Cliff and the Shadows in panto at Stockton, or his legitimate theatre debut in Peter Shaffer's Five Finger Exercise?
But this celebration is more than a roll-call of awards and gold albums. Following his father's death in 1961, Cliff found Christ, and his account of his subsequent career is firmly bound up with his spiritual journey. En route, he puts the record straight on the perennially vexed question of his sexuality, a public teaser for the last 30 years. Not that it matters. While Cliff's public credibility may dip and soar like the Pepsi Max, his grassroots audience remains wondrously faithful. This well-documented book will appeal to them, but it's also an intriguing insight into the mind of one of Britain's most enduring stars.--Alan Stewart
Book Description
Cliff Richard has been a musical icon for more than four decades, indeed it is impossible to think of any British entertainer who has spanned the years and the generations and had more hits all over the world than this unique and much-loved man.
In this colourful celebration of his first forty years at the top - now updated to include the events and photographs from his fortieth year celebrations - Sir Cliff tells his story. From the very early years of Cliff and the Drifters, the young Cliff knew that he wanted to be a singer with a difference. The first true British rock'n'roll star, fame was as sudden as it was unexpected for the young teenager, but the excitement and joy that it brought with it has never left him - and neither have his millions of fans worldwide.
Born Harry Webb in Lucknow, India, in October 1940, Cliff Richard signed his first record contract in 1958 and quite simply never looked back. In a few short years he had become every young girl's dream, quickly rising to become a film star in such classics as Expresso Bongo and Summer Holiday. Television brought him into the living rooms - and hearts - of millions more fans, and his tours and shows have been hits the world over.
In Cliff Richard: A Celebration, he talks movingly about those early days and the influences that shaped him. He talks about how his deep faith has made him even as the years go by and he talks about his fans and the strength they give him at his consistently sold-out concerts all over the world.
A consummate entertainer, in this unique book, lavishly illustrated with fabulous colour and black and white photographs, Cliff answers the questions that all his fans want to ask him. It is an extraordinary celebration of a brilliant career. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
