Documentary that sets out to tell the story of Status Quo's 50 year
career as a band. Directed by Alan G. Parker, the documentary was
supported by the group and saw the film crew given unprecedented
access to the band. Indeed, the programme features the moment the
original line-up of Status Quo reunited at Shepperton Studios -
their first time together for 30 years. Brian May, Paul Weller,
Cliff Richard and Midge Ure are among the fellow artists to pay
tribute to the Quo and the extraordinary duration of their career.
SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Early evening on Saturday 13th September,
1958, Cliff Richard and The Drifters appeared on ITV's pop show Oh
Boy!, electrifying living rooms across the nation with their now
legendary performance of 'Move It'. Overnight, the 17-year-old
Elvis fan with big dreams became a real-life teen idol, and Britain
had their first rock 'n' roll star. A new chapter had started in
the history of music. Over sixty years later, with a hit in every
decade since and over 250 million record sales, Cliff Richard
performs live to sell-out audiences with continued success as a
recording artist, while era-defining pop stars have come and gone.
Now in his autobiography, Cliff takes us back to 1950s post-War
London, where he exploded out of the skiffle scene with his unique
new sound. From there he is catapulted into the centre of the
British film industry, and goes on to conquer Saturday-night TV. We
go behind the scenes on West End musicals, and around the world
with him on tour. Cliff Richard is one of the biggest-selling
artists of all time, and he has achieved that while always
following his own path, on his own terms. Here he tells his story
in his own words, through the toughest times he has faced, to the
biggest dreams that came true.
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.

'Before Cliff Richard and the Shadows, there was nothing worth
listening to in British music.' - John Lennon. Cliff Richard tells
his story, in his own words, in his highly anticipated new
autobiography. Achieving a hit in every decade since the 1950s,
Cliff Richard stands alone in pop history. Coming of age in 1950s
London, he began his music career at Soho's legendary 2i's Cafe,
and now he's approaching his 80th birthday with record sales of
over 250m and counting. Cliff Richard was a pioneer, forging the
way for British rock 'n' roll with his unique sound. The original
British teen idol, his incredible story takes us into the studio of
TV's first pop show Oh Boy!, through 40 years of Top of the Pops,
and playing live up and down the country and across the world, with
a constant backdrop of screaming fans. Cliff looks back on his
humble upbringing, and how he went on to fulfil his wildest dreams
by becoming a pop star and even a film star. He talks about finding
Christianity, reflects on the ups and downs of life in the public
eye, and reveals how the false allegations against him changed his
life forever. He's seen era-defining pop stars come and go, and
he's still making new music, with a new project to be released this
year. As a teenage Elvis-fan in Cheshunt, this may have seem a
distant dream. Here's his story of how he made it all happen.
Every new Presidential administration seeks to implement its policy
objectives rapidly, but in the vast organization of the U.S.
Government, such changes take time. The Quadrennial defense Review
(QDR) of 2001 offers the new Bush administration an important
opportunity, as well as a great responsibility, to reexamine
America's defense priorities in a comprehensive, top-to-bottom,
strategy-to-program approach and provide early guidance for change.
This is a gargantuan task. Current legislation requires the final
report of QDR 2001 to be provided to Congress in September 2001.
Even with early Senate confirmation of top defense officials,
completing such a thorough review in just eight months is a
daunting charge. One of the lessons learned during QDR 1997 was the
advance efforts to identify key issues for the review process can
be critical to success. Fortunately for the incoming
administration, an independent effort to develop intellectual
capital for QDR 2001 was started in the autumn of 1999. This effort
consisted of a small working group which was chartered by the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and established in the
Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense
University. Leading the group was Michele A. Flournoy, a veteran of
the QDR 1997 effort and the former Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Threat Reduction. This volume
is a product of the group's work as well as contributions from
outside experts associated with the project. A major conference on
the project was held at NDU in November 2000, at which a final
report was issued. This book provides the intellectual
underpinnings of that report. To some extent this book is very much
like the results of screening at an archeological dig. The issues
in the book are not new; they are already part of the defense
policy debate of our great democracy. But the authors carefully
unearthed insights and options in a systematic manner, placing the
issues in context. No defense issue lives in isolation; all are
part of the process of priority-setting that is required to craft a
successful strategy in the context of a finite budget. To help the
new administration set its priorities, the working group and
outside contributors have outlined a series of integrated paths
that lead from strategy alternatives to force-sizing criteria to
force structure and other programmatic issues, and they identify
the forks in each path and the signposts along the way. This
valuable book provides a unique service to the Department of
Defense and the Nation, whether the new administration uses the QDR
or some other review process as its primary vehicle for setting
defense priorities. It represents an effort to transcend both the
tyranny of the urgent and the bureaucratic rivalries that tend to
dominate the analyses conducted within the Pentagon. It does so in
a practical, logical, and supportive manner. It does not provide
solutions but instead offers options form which the Bush
administration can craft a new defense policy. In a sense this book
represents a consummate menu of choices: an outside view that only
knowledgeable insiders can provide. There are options identified in
this book that some might support enthusiastically, and others
might oppose. But no one can fail to be impressed by the fairness
of this effort and the professional skill with which it was
completed. This book represents a service to the Department of
Defense and the new administration with few parallels. It provides
an excellent starting point for a review of defense strategy,
policies and programs.
The book centres around a young rabbit called Howther in a world of
talking animals where he grows up before the readers eyes through a
series of adventures. Along the way he meets many other characters,
some of whom who are not all that they appear to be and mirroring
the same sorts and types that we all meet in real life. It is a
story of travel, of overcoming personal fears and self doubt and of
understanding that life is what you make it in a world full of
personal choices.
Sir Cliff Richard OBE is the biggest-selling artist of all time,
selling over 250 million records around the world since he burst
onto the music scene in 1958. But how has he kept his appeal all
these years? In a world fuelled by drink, sex and drugs, he is
perennially attractive without any of those things that keep other
singers' profiles high. Now, working with the highly acclaimed
biographer and journalist, Penny Junor, Cliff talks freely and
frankly about what it is like to be Cliff. Inspirational, hugely
talented, a much-loved household name, his story is extraordinary.
Packed with hitherto unseen pictures and untold stories, and a host
of unique visual memories, it is a book to read and treasure for
the next fifty years.
