Background notes
Archive material and source history
Cliff Richard & The Drifters formed in 1958 when Cliff Richard's backing band The Shadows joined forces with Terry Dene's vocal group The Drifters. They had early chart success with singles like 'Move It' and 'Dynamite' before releasing 'Livin' Lovin' Doll' in 1960.
That song became their most recognizable track, featuring Cliff Richard's lead vocals over The Drifters' harmonies and The Shadows' guitar work. The group maintained popularity through the early 1960s despite some controversies, including tax avoidance allegations in 1963.
They recorded extensively throughout this period, eventually amassing a catalog of over 100 albums. The combination of Richard's stage presence with the backing vocals and instrumentation created a sound that connected with British audiences during rock and roll's early years.
