Clive Richard Shakespeare (3 June 1947 – 15 February 2012) was an English-born Australian pop guitarist, songwriter and producer.
He was a co-founder of pop rock group Sherbet, which had commercial success in the 1970s including their number-one single, "Summer Love" in 1975.
The majority of Sherbet's original songs were co-written by Shakespeare with fellow band member Garth Porter.
Other Sherbet singles co-written by Shakespeare include "Cassandra" (peaked at number nine in 1973), "Slipstream" and "Silvery Moon" (both reached number five in 1974).
In January 1976 Shakespeare left the band citing dissatisfaction with touring, pressures of writing and concerns over the group's finances.
Shakespeare has produced albums for other artists including Post by Paul Kelly in 1985.
