Product Description

Product Description
Sir Cliff Richard OBE is the biggest-selling artist of all time, selling over 250 million records around the world since he burst onto the music scene in 1958. But how has he kept his appeal all these years? In a world fuelled by drink, sex and drugs, he is perennially attractive without any of those things that keep other singers' profiles high. Now, working with the highly acclaimed biographer and journalist, Penny Junor, Cliff is going to talk freely and frankly about what it is like to be Cliff. Inspirational, hugely talented, a much-loved household name, his story is extraordinary. Packed with hitherto unseen pictures and untold stories, fascinating memorabilia and a host of unique visual memories, it is a book to read and treasure for the next fifty years.

About the Author
Sir Cliff Richard - singer, actor, businessman - was born in India in 1940 and moved to Britain in 1947. His showbiz career includes starring roles in film and television, and in 1995 he became the first rock star to be knighted.
Penny Junor began her career as an investigative feature journalist, and most recently she ghosted Pattie Boyd's memoir, WONDERFUL TODAY, a number one bestseller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sir Cliff: A True Legend, 19 Sep 2008
By T. Hodgkins "Tracy Hodgkins" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having almost finished My Life, My Way I just had to review it.

I've read a broad array of books about Sir Cliff, some by the man himself, and others by other people. None capture the heart of the man as well as this new one. It is a fascinating insight into a man the media continues to treat really badly, as if 50 years of being at the top, having hits all the way through and giving pleasure to a lot of people is a crime.

The book is paced very well, with topics going back and forth between the present and past smoothly. We are given interesting little facts along the way and Cliff's frank opinions on modern life, all of which show him as a complete person who lives not in some sort of 'starry' out of touch bubble, but in the same world as you and me. It is heartwarming how often Sir Cliff refers to his family and friends, explaining how it is these people who keep his feet on the ground and in touch with reality.

The most moving parts of the book come when Cliff talks of his parents. That his father missed the best years of Cliff's career, having died in 1961, is clearly a regret, and his mother's long battle with dementia and the awful effect of this terrible condition are reflected in what feels like an urgency for the reader to understand what his mother was like before the condition took hold. Having lost a parent to dementia I found Sir Cliff's honesty and openness on the subject very moving.

One should not forget of course that Sir Cliff has written the book with Penny Junor, who has written a number of biographies. She has done extremely well to ask the right questions, and give Sir Cliff the freedom and possibly the security, to talk frankly.

The media of course chooses to twist certain things in the book and put words in Sir Cliff's mouth. The only way you will know what he is really like is to buy it.

It is fascinating that some choose to criticise Sir Cliff for writing about himself. It is an autobiography after all. Writing about himself was the whole idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT AUTOBIOGRAPHY, 17 Sep 2008
By pale rider (Truro, Cornwall United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I can't imagine what the previous reviewer thinks an autobiography should be about, if not its author! This is a very honest, very readable and engaging book - a proper reflection on an incredible 50 years in show business. Cliff has not taken the easy way out and produced an assemblage of photographs with captions and called it an autobiograpy. Instead he has done his fans proud and delved deep to produce a really worthwhile, detailed and fascinating story that doesn't cut corners or duck hard questions. He deserves every bit of his success and I'm sure this book will make him new fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amusing and informative , 30 Aug 2008
amusing and personal anecdotes by the man himself that he has never told before on his career as well as personal life, feat. quite a number of previously unreleased photos - good read, absolutely enjoyable, well worth the money.
