It was recorded live at Abbey Road Studios before a small invited audience.

His first studio album Cliff Sings was released in November 1959, with backing evenly split between the Shadows and the Norrie Paramor orchestra.

After a string of three studio albums that peaked at number two, Richard achieved his first number-one with 21 Today in October 1961.

[2] As the Beatles popularity took off, Richard's album chart success dropped off progressively, although his Wonderful Life soundtrack of 1964 reached number two, and most of his other studio albums continued to reach the top 10 through to 1966's Kinda Latin and Finders Keepers soundtrack.

This led Richard to have a resurgence in popularity through the rest of the 1970s and 1980s in a period that saw his albums I'm Nearly Famous, Rock 'n' Roll Juvenile and I'm No Hero break the top 100 of the Billboard 200.

In 2023, marking his 65th anniversary, he released the album Cliff with Strings: My Kinda Life, a reworking of his classic hits reimagined in an orchestral arrangement.
