Really enjoyed this biography of Cliff Richard written by someone who has clearly spent a lot of time researching and interviewing key people in Cliff's life. Despite being nearly 20 years old, the book is still a really interesting read because of the attention to detail and covers the first 30 years of Cliff's career with lots of facinating anecdotes from family, colleagues and friends. I particularly enjoyed the family history at the beginning which researched his family tree and story back through to his great grandparents. (
