O autorovi

Cliff Richard

Cliff Richard je britský popový zpěvák, hudebník, performer a herec, jehož kariéra je od konce 50. let 20. století velmi bohatá a dlouhá. Narodil se jako Harry Rodger Webb 14. října 1940 v indickém městě Lucknow a v roce 1948 se s rodinou přestěhoval do Spojeného království. Richard se poprvé proslavil se svou doprovodnou skupinou The Shadows a rychle se stal stálicí britské popové scény. Mezi jeho rané hity patřila skladba "Move It", která je často uváděna jako jedna z prvních autentických britských rock'n'rollových písní.
