A British pop culture phenomenon, Cliff Richard (born Harry Webb in Lucknow, India on 14 October 1940) has been a celebrity since 1958, a pop icon and an enigmatic figure, a tabula rasa on to which an audience can write what it desires. His credentials as an early rock-and-roller, modelled on Elvis, lasted only from 1958 to 59; clearly his heart wasn't in it. His first film appearance was as a juvenile delinquent in Serious Charge (d. Terence Young, 1959), followed by his celebrated performance of 'Turn Me Loose', with menacing leer, on TV's Oh Boy! (ITV, tx. 30/5/1959), an image soon abandoned in favour of blander pop that appealed to both teenagers and their grannies.
