Travellin' Light (Cliff Richard song)

"Travellin' Light" is a UK No. 1 single recorded by Cliff Richard and The Shadows and released in 1959. It was the follow-up single to Richard's first No. 1, "Living Doll" and remained at No. 1 for five weeks (one less than "Living Doll"). "Travellin' Light" was also a Number 1 hit in Ireland and Norway, selling 1.59 million copies worldwide. It was Richard's last single of the 1950s and his first release after the Shadows had changed their name from the Drifters (so as to not conflict with the American band of the same name).

The B-side, "Dynamite" also made the UK Singles Chart, peaking at No. 16. It was re-recorded in 1980 as the B-side to "Dreamin'.
