In 1958, which British band recorded the rock-and-roll hit "Move It"?

 In 1958, the British band that recorded the rock-and-roll hit "Move It" was Cliff Richard and the Drifters, known later as Cliff Richard and the Shadows. Cliff Richard was the lead singer, and "Move It" is often regarded as one of his most famous and influential songs, marking the beginning of his career.

"Move It" is widely considered to be one of the first genuine British rock-and-roll songs, and it played a significant role in the development of the genre within the United Kingdom. Before "Move It," most rock-and-roll in the UK was simply covers of American hits. Cliff Richard, with his band the Drifters (who were later renamed the Shadows to avoid confusion with the American group of the same name), brought a new energy and a British interpretation to rock-and-roll.

Cliff Richard's position in British music history is comparable to that of Elvis Presley in the United States. Along with the Shadows, he would go on to have numerous hits and influence a generation of British musicians. The Shadows also became famous in their own right, especially for their instrumental work and unique sound, which featured the electric guitar, helping to establish them as one of the most influential bands of the era.
