In 1995, he was knighted by the Queen of England at Buckingham Palace to recognize his achievements in music as a pop singer and for bringing honor to the British Empire. Sir Cliff was the first rock star to be honored ahead of Paul McCartney (1997) and Elton John (1998).

But Cliff Richard is one of a kind. The ageless music icon has sold more singles in England than any other artist, including the Beatles, and appeared in eight films with several stage credits to his name.
