Early Cliff Richard

[Matheous]

On this early single Cliff recorded with 'The Drifters' 1958 Who played lead guitar?

The Drifters were basically the Shadows. They toured with and backed Cliff as the Drifters from about 1958 untill the early 60s' when they changed to the Shadows when they bagan to become well know to avoid confusion with the American group The Drifters who were already well established under that name . Hope this link will give you all the detail you want

Thanx Paddywak but I got the name Samwell who was on 'Move It' -both written and produced by him which I posted here last night- although it appears to have gone now!

I've posted a link on your other post which is pretty good for this sort of thing, as you will see according to this site it was somebody called Earnie Shears

Apologies in order here Paddywak - Ernie Shear � lead guitar apparently a session guitarist with Samwell playing rhythm...... Mystery solved!

Just to add- I do not like Cliff OR The Shadows now- but I did then and I have to confess I DO still like "Move It"
