Clive Richard Shakespeare (3 June 1947 – 15 February 2012) was an English-born Australian pop guitarist, songwriter and producer.

Shakespeare married Slava Maksymenko in 1969, however their relationship was kept low-profile due to Sherbet's fan-base consisting of young females.

1970

The majority of Sherbet's original songs were co-written by Shakespeare with fellow band member Garth Porter.

See had left in October 1970 to join the Flying Circus and was replaced by New Zealand-born Garth Porter (Samael Lilith, Toby Jugg) who provided Hammond organ and electric piano.

Sherbet's initial singles were cover versions released by Infinity Records and distributed by Festival Records.

1972

From 1972 to 1976, Sherbet's main song writing team of Porter and Shakespeare were responsible for co-writing the lion's share of the band's original tracks, which combined British pop and American soul influences.

He later explained "I couldn't even go out the front of my house because there were all these girls just hanging on the fence [...] There was always a deadline for Garth and me - another album, another tour. When it did finally end, I was relieved more than anything because I had had enough. I left the band early in 1976 for reasons I don't want to discuss fully … but let's just say I wasn't happy about where all the money went".

The last single he played on was "Child's Play", which was a No. 5 hit in February.
