The album comprises two sets from Richard’s “The Event” concert plus two new studio tracks. The first set is a tribute to Jack Good‘s 1950s Oh Boy! TV series, the all-music show which had kick-started Richard’s career in 1958; it comprises rock ‘n’ roll era tracks from the TV series featuring original artists of the show The Dallas Boys and The Vernons Girls, plus guests The Kalin Twins.
The second set comprises cuts of old and new songs from Richard’s main show, including the singles “Silhouettes” and “From a Distance“, plus two from his set with The Shadows and one from the Aswad set. Also from the second set, the live recording of “We Don’t Talk Anymore“, a UK number 1 single for Richard in 1979, was remixed with a contemporary dance beat for the album; a further 7” remix was made for single release in some markets outside the UK (including Germany and Australia).
Sir Cliff Richard, OBE (born Harry Rodger Webb; 14 October 1940) is a British pop singer, musician, performer, actor and philanthropist. Richard has sold more than 250 million records worldwide. He has total sales of over 21 million singles in the United Kingdom and is the third-top-selling artist in UK Singles Chart history, behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
Richard was originally marketed as a rebellious rock and roll singer in the style of Elvis and Little Richard. With his backing group, the Shadows, Richard dominated the British popular music scene in the pre-Beatles period of the late 1950’s to early 1960’s. His 1958 hit single “Move It” is often described as Britain’s first authentic rock and roll song; in the opinion of John Lennon of the Beatles, “before Cliff and the Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music”. Increased focus on his Christianity and subsequent softening of his music led to a more middle-of-the-road image and he sometimes ventured into contemporary Christian music.
Over a career spanning 60 years, Richard has amassed many gold and platinum discs and awards, including two Ivor Novello Awards and three Brit Awards. More than 130 of his singles, albums and EPs have reached the UK Top 20, more than any other artist. Richard has had 67 UK top ten singles, the second highest total for an artist behind Elvis. Richard holds the record (with Elvis) as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all of its first six decades (1950’s–2000’s). He has achieved 14 UK number-one singles, and is the only singer to have had a number-one single in the UK in five consecutive decades.
