Story
On a sunny Saturday morning in May 1956, a fifteen-year-old, then called Harry Webb, was mooching down Waltham Cross High Street, with two mates. They heard some music blaring out of a parked car. It stopped them in their tracks. The song was 'Heartbreak Hotel' by Elvis Presley. It sounded like nothing they had ever heard before. In that instant, the schoolboy who was destined to take the hit parade by storm as Cliff Richard fell in love with rock and roll. It gave him the thrill, the purpose and the mission that has shaped his life ever since.

Story
Sir Cliff Richard OBE is the biggest-selling artist of all time, selling over 250 million records around the world since he burst onto the music scene in 1958. But how has he kept his appeal all these years? In a world fuelled by drink, sex and drugs, he is perennially attractive without any of those things that keep other singers' profiles high.

All Anthony Callea wanted was to sing. From his first memories of singing for his family, Anthony knew that he wanted to share his voice with the world. He had a strongly held dream but was as surprised as anyone when his breakout moment (his heart-stopping rendition of "The Prayer" on Australian Idol) turned him into a household name overnight. Now, in his own words, Anthony shares the joys and challenges of becoming celebrated for his voice, all while navigating the twists and turns of life.

Story
A balanced account of game changes, conflicts and ambitions. The fall from popular grace of the previously adulated brother of the heir to the British throne as a consequence of his marriage to a beautiful and dynamic Hollywood starlet of colour makes for fascinating listening in best-selling royal author Lady Colin Campbell's balanced account. Lady Colin knows her royal history and psychology, and as the first seven years of her adult life were spent in the USA, she has a foot in both the American and British camps.

Publisher's 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.

Sir Cliff's Cliffnotes
Sir Cliff wrote his memoirs and we get to hear his inner motivations. Great stuff. From his opening heart break his story of being a blessed dreamer reminds me of another dreamer who suffered as a result of the jealousy of others. A unique insight into the British music industry.

Wonderful!
I loved this book and felt it was especially wonderful that Cliff actually was talking to me, telling me about his life, his journey and faith. As he was the narrator.
I have recently lost my husband and whilst Coronavirus & lockdown in Perth WA hasn’t been as bad as the rest of the world, it was nice to have Cliff’s story to think about.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who like me has been a fan of Cliff Richard all my life!

Personal time with my Pop idol
I've been in love with Cliff since I was 3. His voice just mesmerized me then and still does. This book is so candid covering his life from birth in 1940 to 2020. It was also a run-through of my life, remembering what I was doing as albums went to No.1 and tours took place, many of which I went to. Loved this book Cliff, thank you.

His faith optomism, determination, faith and courage are an inspiration.
Rock and roll and being a Christian are not mutually exclusive. Cliff has combined these into a truly inspirational life.
