In alternate rock-n-roll history, after Elvis was drafted, someone |

marketed Cliff Richard so skillfully to the USA that he became a big star there as well as in the UK. Thus it was Cliff Richard who broke the pond barrier, not the Fab Four. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNufA_ZUQOo&feature=related

4. My how our rock history would have changed... |
|
And...not for the better.
FYI...The Beatles weren't so much into Elvis, as they were Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Chuck Berry...

5. No, the Beatles weren't, but the record-buying public were. |

Buddy Holly is a favorite of mine too.
I was never familiar with Cliff until "Devil Woman" and "We Don't Talk Any More." An old boyfriend of mine was, though, and I remember him singing "Bachelor Boy," which is a kind of catchy tune.
I like to listen to old Cliff Richard songs on YouTube sometimes.
