His first band was in high school called "The Quintones" He then joined the Dick Teague Skiffle Group in 1957 and subsequently left with drummer Terry Smart to form their own rock 'n' roll band, the Drifters in 1958. After getting a record contract they became Cliff Richard and the Drifters (for a few months until a few line up changes and the American Drifters made them change their name to the Shadows).

1958 was when Cliff released his first single: Move It/School Boy Crush. It is regarded as the first British rock n roll record.
