ABOUT THE ARTIST
In the late fifties the U.S. had Elvis, Buddy Holly, and Little Richard: they had rock 'n' roll! Cliff Richard was the U.K.'s answer to these U.S. rock idols. This 2LP set presents the British singer's fourth and fifth albums. '21 Today', released in 1961 on Richard s 21st birthday, features him with backing by the Shadows tackling rock 'n' roll covers and well-known standards. It was Richard's first album to reach no.1 on the UK charts. Its predecessor, 'Listen To Cliff', also from 1961, features mainly pop standards and such covers as Ray Charles's 'What'd I Say' and the big Righteous Brothers hit 'Unchained Melody'. Among the eight bonus tracks are Richard's hit singles 'Bachelor Boy', 'I'm Lookin' Out The Window', 'Do You Want To Dance?' and one of his best known tracks, 'The Young Ones'. These albums and singles helped launch Cliff Richard into the pop stratosphere. His career has proven to have remarkable staying power, with over 14 no.1 hit U.K. singles, sales of over 250 million records worldwide, and 21 million singles in the U.K., to his credit. He is the third-top-selling artist in U.K. singles chart history, behind only the Beatles and Elvis Presley. LP 1 Side A: 1. Happy Birthday To You 2. Forty Days (To Come Back Home) 3. Catch Me 4.
