Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Cilla Black - Anyone Who Had A Heart!

[@maria-lq8xd]

The real deal. No lip sync, no digital enhancement. Just sheer class.

[@sjbict]

and 21 yrs old

[@paultolman2832]

Cilla Black was a huge star in the UK and had a lifetime career in TV, she was also a first class human being!

[@gavinhughes5385]

She was a vile tory hag.

[@sarahhillier915]

FUQ You are sooo rude . Prefer it if her hair is long? Nice ,long hair and sings shit?

[@robc907]

Another fantastic song by Burt Baccarat and Hal David. Check out there catalogue. This song was a hit for several artists. Cilla is amazing though. Also Alfie by Baccarat and David.

[@barblessable]

A Scouse Tory very unusual wouldn't endear her to the people of her home town of Liverpool ,there were much better British singers around at that time, she was too nasal , Dusty Springfield ,Lulu Elkie Brooks etc are much better.

[@xkr510]

Classy song, classy lady.

[@alisonscurr4395]

Cilla Black as previously stated worked in the Cavern Club. After Cilla supported The Beatles , John Lennon suggested to their manager Brian Epstein that he sign her up. All though the formal audition was a disaster due to her nerves, Epstein later spotted her giving a much more confident live performance, and her debut single was released three weeks later. Cilla had her own show simply titled Cilla. It aired from January 1968 to April 1976. She worked as a presenter on TV too. Her real name was Priscilla Maria Veronica White. She was appointed OBE for services to entertainment (Officer of the Order of the British Empire). In 2014, she was the recipient of the British Academy Television Awards' Special Award and the first Royal Television Society Legends Award in honour of her 50 years in entertainment. There is a Statue of our Cilla in Liverpool along with statues of the Beatles and Billy Fury. Cilla's funeral took place in her home City of Liverpool. People lined the streets to pay their respects. She was laid to rest, at a private ceremony, in Allerton Cemetery alongside her parents.

[@dianat119]

She was a national treasure. Sadly missed, especially here in Liverpool. She never lost her Scouse accent. RIP Dear Cilla

[@therese4963]

Cilla Black was a sensational singer. Thank you for reacting to her.

[@karenalex3274]

Cilla started her career working as a cloakroom attendant in the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool She was soon talent spotted and performed alongside the Beatles and many other famous bands.Her career spanned many decades.R.I.P. Cilla

[@bobbartle]

This song was a big hit for Dionne Warwick in the US. Cilla Black's big hit in the US was "Your My World". Another female British singer who doesn't get enough attention by reactors is Petula Clark, who had a string of hits in the 60's; among them were "Don't Sleep in the Subway", "Kiss Me Goodbye", "Downtown".

[@ThEhObBiT1959]

Can always remember the first time I heard down town, aways been a favourite of mine, so much so it’s going to be played at my funeral.

[@maureencree397]

Our Cilla, singing live, notice how, unlike most modern singers, she doesn't have the mike so close to her mouth it looks like she is eating it! Pure class.

[@aletmartins6940]

And she’s not in what looks like a bedazzled bathing suit for her performance…

[@davidlondon2810]

Great reaction. She was the perfect singer for this beautiful Burt Bacharach composition. A really good live performance. As you say “old school”, not only the song’s sentiments but also her delivery even down to the stillness of her poise. She let her voice and the song do the heavy lifting and made it look so damned easy! This was the first record I bought as a six year old in 1964. P.S. the hairdo was very British “swinging 60s” style 😂

[@nancyandersonahern1868]

I was going to say the same thing. That pixie cut was a 60s vibe. Very chic. And her voice is massive and gorgeous! The curtsy to the Orchestra is perfect.

[@mattyball]

Cilla Black , a national treasure in the UK, R.I.P ❤.

[@justinneill5003]

People sometimes forget (or increasingly nowadays, never even knew) that Cilla Black was a phenomenal singer back in the day. Most people nowadays remember her as a TV game show hostess, and with her fun personality she was very good at it, but they should look further back at what lifted her to stardom. She was a huge star in the U.K. and had her own weekly TV show where she would sing and have guest performers on as well.

[@missd9262]

I lived in the England in the 70’s and Cilla was very popular. Do a reaction to “You’re my World” her vocals are amazing!!!

[@KC-gy5xw]

I think that was her best song ever..

[@rachelmarie1968]

Definitely the best.

[@kimgrattage6049]

Cilla was at her peak in the 60s, not 70s. I was born and bred here, 50s and 60s were my eras.

[@mothermaclean]

Cila black was a great singer and hosted a TV show called blind date for many years all through my childhood her song Alfie is my favourite of hers

[@Cchan53]

Alfie.. Love that song! Great voice!

[@eddiehawkins7049]

Cilla Black, Lulu, Sandy Shaw, Dusty Springfield, Helen Shapiro, Shirley Bassey. We weren't starved of amazing female singers when I was very young. I'm sure that others could add to the list.

[@eddiehawkins7049]

How could I forget Petula Clark?

[@Psylaine64]

You forgot Diana Dors

[@youngbess1]

So true! They were amazing artists.

[@SylviaSmith-j8b]

Petula clarke

[@GaryMMorin]

you just named all of my favorite UK female singers!

[@junction6_m27VNC]

Yep Our Cilla was pure British Royalty, friend of the Beatles and a massive TV star back in the day, sadly we won’t see her like again

[@leehallam9365]

Cilla, real name Priscilla White, was showbiz royalty in the UK. A working class girl from Liverpool, she got herself a job as a cloakroom attendant at the Cavern Club where the up and coming Beatles played. She became part of the British invasion of the US in the mid sixties on the fab four's coat tails. To be honest though she had a successful career in the UK her US record was modest, so you probably haven't heard her much if at all. She was very young, only 20 or 21 in this clip, and her career petered out after the early seventies but she relaunched herself as a TV host, most famously with the game show Blind Date. Sadly no longer with us.

[@betagombar9022]

Cilla Black, a national treasure here in the UK ❤ So loved by many many people ❤

[@brendahuxtable8767]

Cilla started in the Caven club Liverpool at the same time as the Beatles started by the same manager. Cilla's haircut was a fantastic style at that time, which set a trend .

[@missd9262]

Also Dusty Springfield. Amazing!

[@beedeegee9374]

And Petula Clark

[@ingelathune-boyle]

'Alfie' is her best song.

[@myhouse7491]

Omg yes. One of my favourite songs ever.❤

[@pegatheetoo1437]

Her 'You're My World' is even more powerful.

[@susanworkman529]

Cilla Black.....next song of hers to listen to is, "You Are My World" Her blunt cut hairstyle was a popular 60's hair style. Take a look at The Beatles (from the UK) when they first became popular in the U.S. (on The Ed Sullivan Show); or the British singer.Lulu who sang the title song."To Sir With Love" from the movie of the same name starring Sidney Poitier.

[@jacquisampson-marat5277]

I concur

[@cherrycato1940]

I concur, fills me with tears. ❤️💜

[@helendavis6901]

Every time I listen to You’re My World it gives me goosebumps, I think that was her best song, worth a listen too.

[@realcoolbreeze]

She and Dusty Springfield were great in that era. Dionne Warwick was as well.

[@saram2503]

Goodness me. Dusty was in a class of her own. Way, way ahead of Cilla. It hurts to see them in the same sentence! Sorry, just my opinion!

[@paulinehealey1653]

Cilla was massive in the 1960s, when she’s singing Anyone Who had a Heart she’s looking and smiling at her manager Bobby Willis who was to become her husband of 30 years. Her following hit is Your My World, She also sang the theme tune to the film Alfie starring Michael Cane, Cilla and Bobby had 3 sons together, she was hilarious in interviews. Cilla started the shoes in England called Blind Date and Surprise Surprise. Kindest Regards Pauline My head is full of useless information lol x

[@AthanImmortal]

Didn't think I'd see Cilla on here, this is awesome Black P! :D

[@rosekelly1097]

she really was a grade a star, a wonderful woman. had some brill songs to. with no auto tune stars only had their voices to sing with, it sorted the corn from the chaff for sure. just luvin the reactions keep them up.

[@williamkeith8740]

No autotune - beautiful voice - we used to watch her show every Saturday night in the late 1960's.

[@KarenMck76]

My heart is full, watching an American rapper enjoying our cilla. Thank you man.

[@KayBolinger-ec2vw]

I haven't heard this since back in the day! It was one of my favorites!! The studio version with her backups is perfection.

[@stephenhowell5611]

Her backup singers were the Breakaways, they backed many british artists back then.

[@mayday3109]

Written by Burt Bacharach - he wrote huge number of songs sung but amazing famous singer in the 60s. Dusty Springfield, Dionne Warwick etc.

[@rayj1011]

i know this song from Dionne Warwick who also recorded it in 1963. Also don't forget Bacharach's writing partner, Hal David.

[@bobbycollins6783]

Yes some people forget Hal David. They worked together a long time. They also wrote Close to you for the Carpenters.

[@amandaclutterbuck3732]

Commenting from London: Thank you so much for featuring Cilla, we are so proud of her. She sang lots more, had her own TV series. Play Alfie!

[@Cchan53]

Nice to see you go back yrs ...theres excellant music from that era to pick from . You should react to LULU ,singing TO SIR WITH LOVE, from the movie of the same title with main character played by the imcomperable Sidney Poitier ( spelling?) One of my favorite songs and a freakin great movie!! Please try to put on a show of yours !

[@bosvigos9165]

I was 12 years old when this came out, she was a real hero to us little girls growing up. She was Cavern based, as were The Beatles. I grew up with some amazing music, which had me hungry for so many more genres in a matter of a couple of years,I was into blues, jazz and real R&B. Great times! Thank you for this, thank you for the memories! ☘️💚☘️

[@no-oneinparticular7264]

Late comment, but that haircut was called the Pixie cut. It was inspired by Twiggy a 60s skinny model who shocked people with her short hairstyle. Cilla black sang the theme tune to "Alfie", the 60s Michael Caine film.

[@Cchan53]

I'm 68 now, and this is still one of favourite all time songs. I saw Cilla singing on show in Blackpool as a child in the 60s while on holiday. Also lulu, Tom Jones and Ken Dodd. Great times !

[@judithdoughty7967]

Cilla was a national treasure in the UK. She was a contemporary of the Beatles from Liverpool. If you think her vocal is good you need to check out Dusty Springfield (another UK legend who had her own show). Start with Son of a Preacher Man, you'll love it.

Cilla was a hat-check girl in the Cavern when The Beatles were playing there and Paul wrote the theme song for her BBC TV variety show which was the biggest thing on television throughout my childhood There`s a version of that song, Step Inside Love somewhere on KZbin with The Beatles singing it with her. Her version of the classic song Alfie with Burt Bacharach is also worth a watch, it was recorded during the studio sessions and she said she was terrified by Burt.

"Anyone Who Had a Heart" is a song written by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics) for Dionne Warwick in 1963. In January 1964, Warwick's original recording hit the Top Ten in the United States, Canada, Spain, Netherlands, South Africa, Belgium and Australia. In the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and New Zealand, Warwick's recording lost out to a version by Cilla Black. Black's single was a UK number-one hit for three weeks in February/March 1964 and was also the fourth best-selling single of 1964 in the UK,[3] with sales of around 950,000 copies.

In 1963-66, I was an American teenager living in the UK. I loved Cilla Black. She wasn’t very big, but she could belt it out! Her hair cut was very hip at the time, so many teen girls were getting this style…including me! Her rendition of Alphie, from the film of the same name, starring a young Michael Caine, is so good. I loved all the popular Brit bands of the time: Dave Clark Five, the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dusty Springfield, Cliff Richards; talent everywhere! What a great place and time to be a teen!
