Foreword by Bob Stanley On a sunny Saturday morning in May 1956, a
fifteen-year-old, then called Harry Webb, was mooching down Waltham
Cross High Street. He heard some music blaring out of a parked car.
It stopped him in his tracks. The song was 'Heartbreak Hotel' by
Elvis Presley. It sounded like nothing he had ever heard before. In
that instant, the schoolboy who was destined to take the hit parade
by storm as Cliff Richard fell in love with rock and roll. It gave
him the thrill, the purpose and the mission that has shaped his
life ever since. Cliff lives in and for music. And with 65 years as
a hitmaker, the music filling his head is a broad category. His
soundtrack begins by blasting us all back into that first
life-changing explosion of rock and roll, and also includes great
soul soul stars such as Aretha Franklin, longtime colleagues like
Elton John, and much-missed close friends Cilla Black and Olivia
Newton-John. This book is meaningful to Cliff on many levels. The
30 or so songs here that make up the soundtrack to his life have
each moved him deeply, but it's also about the legendary artists he
met, and often got to know. He shares those stories and memories
with you, too. A Head Full of Music is a vibrant personal journey
for Cliff, and it's a joy to accompany him on it. Get wired for
sound with him and read on.
