A British music mainstay whose career spans early rock singles, Shadows-backed hits, and later pop success.
For a sense of his later pop phase, 'Carrie' is a good place to start. His Christian faith has been a steady part of his public life, too.
He was there at the beginning of British rock and roll with 'Move It' in the 1950s, then kept finding hits for decades. Songs like 'Devil Woman' and 'We Don't Talk Anymore' show how his sound shifted with the times. His long partnership with the Shadows, featuring Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch, gave a whole era of his music its distinctive guitar sound.
He started as Harry Rodger Webb before becoming Cliff Richard. After 'Move It' established him, he worked with the Shadows for years. He was appointed an OBE in 1965 and was knighted in 1995.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
