Sir Cliff Richard OBE

With his backing band The Shadows, Cliff Richard dominated the British popular music scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s, before and during the The Beatles' first year in the charts. A conversion to Christianity and subsequent softening of his music led to his having more of a pop than rock image. Cliff Richard has remained a popular music, film, and television personality in the UK, and also retains a following in many other countries.

During the six decades in which he has been active, Cliff Richard has charted many hit singles, and holds the record (along with Elvis Presley) as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all of its active decades (1950s–2000s). According to his website, he has sold over 250 million records. On the British charts, Cliff Richard has had over 120 singles, albums and EPs make the top twenty, more than any other artist.

In 1997 Steve launched Parentalk, an organisation dedicated to inspiring and equipping parents.

In 2001 Steve laid the foundations for the Faithworks Movement, which exists to empower and inspire churches to develop their role in the community. Steve has presented his own television series for ITV and BBC as well as a regular show on Radio 4. He was awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours List 2004 for his services to social inclusion.
