The Best Of The Rock 'n' Roll Pioneers
Sixty years ago, on October 17th, 1959, Cliff Richard and The Shadows hit the No. 1 spot in the UK with ‘Travellin’ Light’. This was the first single credited to Cliff Richard and The Shadows – re-named from their original title - The Drifters. The American Drifters had got there first, so a new moniker was required, thus, The Shadows were born, at the suggestion of bassist Jet Harris during a band meeting at the Six Bells pub in Ruislip! This notable anniversary will be marked with a brand-new album: CLIFF RICHARD and THE SHADOWS: The Best of The Rock ‘n’ Roll Pioneers is a 2CD collection which focuses, for the first time, solely on Cliff’s output with The Shadows (or The Drifters for pre-October ’59 releases). All seven No. 1 singles and a further sixteen Top 10 hits are included.
