John Lennon had asked Cliff Richard to delay release of his single, recalls latter

The Beatles is a rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. The group includes John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. As reported by Express, Cliff Richard, best known as Sir Cliff, didn't have hope for the Liverpudlian band’s success and even made a joke that they sounded like something that people tread on. As per the report, Cliff Richard recalled that John Lennon was very funny and that he had asked him to delay the release of his next single to give their follow-up- Please Please Me a chance. More so, Sir Cliff also recalled that The Beatles glanced at each other and shrugged that John took the guitar and started strumming.

More so, the Summer Holiday singer said that he was an unofficial PR man for the group during radio interviews. He further claimed to have asked DJs to play their songs Love Me Do and Please Please Me when asked what his favourite hits from another group were. The report added that Sir Cliff had topped the UK charts eight times, including an eight-week stint at No 1 with Wonderful Land, ahead of John Lennon’s request in 1963. As per Cliff Richard, The Beatles hadn’t sounded very good at all when he first heard them covering some old track. However, his opinion changed when he met the team of singers at a house party and thought they were friendly and smart.
