Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Cliff Richard tells his story, in his own words, in his highly anticipated new autobiography.
Achieving a hit in every decade since the 1950s, Cliff Richard stands alone in pop history. Coming of age in 1950s London, he began his music career at Soho's legendary 2i's Cafe, and now he's approaching his 80th birthday with record sales of over 250 million and counting.
Cliff Richard was a pioneer, forging the way for British rock 'n' roll with his unique sound. The original British teen idol, his incredible story takes us into the studio of TV's first pop show Oh Boy!, through 40 years of Top of the Pops and playing live up and down the country and across the world, with a constant backdrop of screaming fans.
Cliff looks back on his humble upbringing and how he went on to fulfil his wildest dreams by becoming a pop star and even a film star. He talks about finding Christianity, reflects on the ups and downs of life in the public eye and reveals how the false allegations against him changed his life forever.
He's seen era-defining pop stars come and go and he's still making new music, with a new project to be released this year. As a teenage Elvis fan in Cheshunt, this may have seem a distant dream. Here's his story of how he made it all happen.

Easy listening
Really good listen. Was pleasantly surprised to hear Cliff talk so much about his music, particularly the Welch, Tarney and Britten records.

The Dreamer who works so hard
I have grown up listening to Cliffs music, born in the 60’s our house was always throbbing to the sound of R&R the heart of it being Cliff. So to be able to learn about him from his utopia childhood in India to the poverty in his you g life to forging ahead in rock music.
He is truly a legioned and an honour to be privy to his life, the most fantastic thing about this audio book is Cliff reads it, it is just like he is in the room talking to you. Absolutely Fabulous

A fantastic journey through the life of a legend of our times. had my mum never sat me down for hours as a baby watching summer holiday i would probably never have chosen to listen to Cliffs story but now I have I am so glad i did. Furthermore i have ordered a hardback copy for my mum and got myself and her tickets to see cliff perfom in london later this year.
