This week, we're sharing an episode of one of our favorite
Beatles-adjacent podcasts, We Say Yeah!, a show about Cliff
Richard and the Shadows. This is one of the only — if not
the only — podcasts exclusively about Cliff Richard, who was, of
course, a huge success in the UK, and a contemporary of the
Beatles. Erika was recently a guest host, discussing Wonderful
Life, a movie musical that was released mere days before A Hard
Day's Night, but couldn't be more different.
About the podcast: Cliff Richard & The Shadows dominated the
British pop and rock music world from 1958 to 1963 and weathered
the storm of Beatlemania to continue to release hits for years to
come. Many were even recorded in Studio Two at Abbey Road…and
they wrote a lot of their own material!). Although pre-Beatles
British rock and roll music is largely ignored by American rock
historians, the We Say Yeah! podcast has spent nearly three years
reviewing every single, EP and LP released by Cliff and The
Shadows (either together or apart) in chronological order.
Hosted by David “Ghosty” Wills, former Sirius/XM DJ and cartoon
voice actor, each month’s episode features the host and a guest
not only reviewing records but also venturing into sidebar
discussions about popular music of the era, the film and
television industry in Europe and more!
In addition to hosting We Say Yeah!, David has been a Beatles fan
since the age of 12 but came in through Paul McCartney’s solo
career (which he says he loves “more than anything else on
Earth”). He became a fan of Cliff Richard through his early 80’s
U.S. hits and when he discovered an album of his 60’s hits.
