Don't Stop Me Now! is the eleventh studio album by Cliff Richard, released in 1967. It is his twentieth album overall. The album was arranged and conducted by Mike Leander.[1] [2]

With this album, Richard made a "deep and serious thrust at establishing his mainstream pop/rock credentials" according to Bruce Eder of AllMusic. The album is made up of a mix of covers of rock 'n' roll standards and pop songs of the time, with what Eder describes as "brass and chorus-heavy arrangements".

The album reached number 23 in the UK Album Charts in a 9 week run in the top 40.[3]
