Cliff Richard

Sir Cliff Richard OBE, born Harry Rodger Webb on 14 October 1940, is a preeminent British singer and actor. He emerged as a rebellious rock and roll figure akin to Elvis Presley and Little Richard. With his band the Shadows, he defined Britain's music scene before the Beatles era. His single 'Move It' is hailed as Britain's original rock and roll song. Over a career spanning 65 years, Richard's music has earned numerous gold and platinum discs, two Ivor Novello Awards, and three Brit Awards. His records have topped the UK charts across six decades — a joint record with Elvis Presley. Notably, he's had four UK Christmas No. 1 singles. Despite his vast success, especially in the UK, Richard never became as popular in the US, although he has had success in Canada and maintains a global following. In recent years, he relocated to New York【25†source】【28†source】.
