Cliff Richard

Popping champagne seemed the best way to celebrate success, as the brilliant We Don’t Talk Anymore hit the well deserved number 1 spot in August 1979. Cliff was also approaching 40 and showed no sign of slowing down in his strive for chart success.

How many other performers from the last 60 or so years can you think of that are instantly recognisable from just their Christian name? Bing, Elvis and Ringo come to mind and so does Cliff… Richard that is! 


Born Harry Webb in India in 1940, Sir Cliff as he became in 1995, has achieved just about everything that it is possible to achieve as an entertainer and is still doing it and loving it, after all these years. 


From his early career of the late fifties with the Shadows, through to the sixties with his movies, then the ups and downs of the seventies, eighties and nineties. The new millennium provided another challenge for which Cliff was more than happy to meet, much to the delight of his adoring fans.


This book celebrates the life and music of this amazing pop icon illustrated with fabulous archive black & white and colour photography. Cliff, we salute you!

Available now as an ebook from all major ebook stores. Swagger, sex appeal, on magnetism – yes John Wayne (the Duke) had most of it during his peak in moving making. It all started from humble beginnings as silent movies gave way to the “talkies” and paved the way for a record breaking career as a leading man. Wayne was lucky to be paired up with Director John Ford in the movie Stagecoach and this provided the platform he needed after a string of less successful B-movies.  This would set the scene for years to come, with the Western genre becoming his forte.
