Sir Cliff Richard (real name Harry Rodger Webb) is a British music performer who was one of the first playing rock and roll artists and became an example and source of inspiration for many subsequent performers of this style.
He is called the king of the British charts for the reason that he topped those 25 times, and the national singles charts - fourteen times (at least once in every decade of its existence).
One of the most commercially successful musicians in history, with sales of over 250 million releases.
