Cliff Richard - Live In The Park
Background Information: Cliff Richard [Top] Sir Cliff Richard is the stage name of one of the UK s most popular singers of all time. Cliff Richard was one of the founding members of The Drifters, who later changed their name to Cliff Richard & the Drifters & then Cliff Richard & the Shadows. Cliff was a guitarist & lead singer in the band. It was suggested to the group that they put a name out in front of the groups title, as this was the common thing at the time & hence Cliff Richard & the Drifters came about. The group gained a contract & went into Abbey Road Studios to record their first record in 1958. They were given a non-rocking number called Schoolboy Crush to record, but were allowed to record one of their own for the B-side. This was Move It, written by Ian Sammy Samwell, who was the first new member of the group. There are a number of stories about why the A-side song was replaced by the B-side. One of these stories says that their producer Norrie Paramor, played the record to his daughter & she raved about the B-side song instead of the A-side.
