About Cliff Richard

Richard was originally marketed as a rebellious rock and roll singer in the style of Presley and Little Richard. He had a successful screen career with films including Expresso Bongo (1959), The Young Ones (1961), Summer Holiday (1963) and Wonderful Life (1964), and his own show on BBC Television. Increased focus on his Christian faith and subsequent softening of his music led to a more middle-of-the-road image, and he sometimes ventured into contemporary Christian music. He holds the record, with Presley, as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all of its first six decades (1950s–2000s). He also had three UK Christmas No. 1 singles; "I Love You" in 1960, "Mistletoe and Wine" in 1988 and "Saviour's Day" in 1990. He was also part of the 1989 Band Aid II version of "Do They Know It's Christmas?", which was that year's Christmas No. 1 single. When not touring, he divides his time between Barbados and Portugal. In 2019, he relocated to New York.
