Ian Samwell

Ian Samwell & Cliff Richard with an unknown cat in a rather cool shirt, Butlins holiday camp 1958.

'Schoolboy Crush' was going to be Cliff Richard and the Drifters first release on Columbia records in 1958. Thankfully Ian Samwell came on board and saved the day by writing 'Move It' and 'Schoolboy Crush' was demoted to the B-side. I only wish they did it to 'Livin' Doll' but unfortunately by that time in Cliff's career Ian was no longer part of the set-up.
