Book excerpt: 'Before Cliff Richard and the Shadows, there was nothing worth listening to in British music.' - John Lennon. 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 250m 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.

Book excerpt: In 1959 teenage poet Royston Ellis teamed up with Cliff Richard's group, the Drifters (later called The Shadows) and appeared with them on television and stage shows performing his unique brand of 'rocketry' (rock 'n' roll poetry). He became closely associated with Cliff, Jet, Tony, Hank & Bruce and wrote the first ever book about them, Driftin' With Cliff Richard followed by the 1961 biography The Shadows. These much sought-after books have been long out of print. Royston Ellis has agreed to combine and expand the content of these two books into a new book, Cliff Richard and The Shadows - A Rock & Roll Memoir. This new book recalls insights of days and nights spent with Cliff and the Shadows between 1959 and 1961. Largely regarded as THE spokesman for the British Rock & Roll generation, Royston Ellis now re-evaluates how Cliff and The Shadows represented the hopes, aspirations and values of British teens at the dawn of the swinging 60s, when things would change forever. Cliff Richard and The Shadows - A Rock & Roll Memoir is a timeless snapshot of an era that only lasted a few years, but whose importance would reverberate for decades. This beautifully designed book includes rare photos.

Book excerpt: This is the Personal Lifestory of Brian 'Licorice' Locking and his Incredible Love of Life, Music and People. His Amazing Musical Career spans from practising on my little toy mouth organ, to 'Skiffle' in the era of Lonnie Donegan, and the very beginning of the British Rock'n Roll Scene in London at the Famous 2i's Coffee Bar in Soho where 'struggling and starving' musicians and groups came to their fame or demise! This led to his tremendous Fame and Fortune with the Famous Shadows and Cliff Richard, until his personal beliefs led him to turn his back on it all and go back to a simpler lifestyle, only to be encouraged to return to the bigger music scene many years later and go on to become a Great Ambassador at Shadows Music Conventions in the UK and Worldwide right up until his passing. While participating with many other Musicians and Events, and offering advice as required, he made and maintained Wonderful Friendships with Love & Humour to everyone he met in all walks of life and situations, whilst delighting many with Live Music. He was equally happy in playing to anyone and anywhere, to individuals, in pubs, charity events, parties, up to famous venues in Paris and London, ......and he could 'talk the hind legs off a donkey' !! So sadly missed but he will never be forgotten, especially not by me, his 'little sis'! x

Along the way, it looks at Louis Jordan, LaVern Baker, the Ink Spots, Fats Domino, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Jackie Brenston, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and many more of the progenitors of rock and roll.

There are a lot of fine anecdotes. Turner's sympathetic, sagacious and highly enjoyable book tells you everything you ever wanted to know about Cliff. Turner's Cliff Richard is refreshingly human, though not without his faults.'
