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.

I'm going to Liverpool to visit the cavern end of april.cant wait.😊

[@bobbycollins6783]

Didn't she die after a fall an hit her head on the stone floor. I think she was there some time before someone found her. Maybe wrong there. I'm not sure.

what the Epstien that said the 'Beatles could not sing?' .. please

[@dianat119]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@mattyball]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@user-ud7xq4qq1b]

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@mariajobson739]

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.

[@user-fq2ee7ki8g]

[@GaryMMorin]

you just named all of my favorite UK female singers!

[@therese4963]

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

[@ingelathune-boyle]

'Alfie' is her best song.

[@myhouse7491]

Omg yes. One of my favourite songs ever.❤

[@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 😂

[@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

[@missd9262]

Also Dusty Springfield. Amazing!

[@beedeegee9374]

And Petula Clark

[@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.

[@pegatheetoo1437]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@AthanImmortal]

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

[@williamkeith8740]

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

[@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 .

[@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.

[@mariajobson739]

My idol in grade school ,The Beatles and Twiggy..my inspiration to go England and I did eventually!

[@andywatts8654]

When did you manage to get to the uk?

[@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! ☘️💚☘️

[@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.

[@mattyball]

Didn’t Dusty also sing this ? I’m sure she did ❤.

[@ChristineRead-ck1uq]

@@mattyball No but Dionne Warwick did.

[@mattyball]

@@ChristineRead-ck1uq She did I checked, there’s literally videos on here but mainly audio.

[@aharon59]

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.

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

For women from the UK with similarly strong vocals try some Shirley Bassey [sang 3 bond songs] and Lulu for a beautiful powerful pure voice - all from the same era.

[@mariajobson739]

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 !

[@johncarroll9489]

"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.

The simplicity and power of a solo artist doesn't need all the distractions of stage hype, with flashing light shows, backing dancers etc. Sincere talent speaks for itself. The late Cilla Black, R.I.P. was so down-to-earth and funny. A much loved national treasure.

[@debralewis9737]

Cilla was a British institution. She graduated from pop star to TV personality. She had her own show . She was a friend of the Beatles before any of them were famous back in Liverpool. She went on to host several shows for years . She sadly passed away after a fall at her holiday home.

[@mymai5859]

Cilla Black was born Priscilla White from Liverpool. The Beatles were in the audience during this performance. She spoke about rehearsals with Burt Bacharach making her sing the high notes for this song over & over until he was satisfied. He was a task master.

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!

Cilla was awesome! Friends with the Beatles, beloved tv personality, some of her best friends were gay met at a time when that wasn't as socially acceptable.

[@leogem177]

You can't see on the black and white video but she had vibrant red hair - think this hairstyle was all the thing at that time! The 60's pixie cut. She new the Beatles before they were famous as they preformed at the famous Cavern Club and they had the same manager. She became a very well known TV presenter. She had a great fun, warm personality and had a strong Liverpool accent. It might have been 7 years since she passed maybe that's what prompted the upload - awe bless her - we miss her!❤

[@barnowl.]

Cilla was wearing THE hair style of the day - a 'mod ' hairstyle. Many girls wore a similar style based on Mary Quant, a fashion icon of the day, and may have been originated or cut by Vidal Sassoon, the top hairdresser in England. I wore my hair like this then. Recently I had my hair cut in the same way and got many compliments from young women who had not seen it before. Cilla was a fabulous and famous singer with a number of hits . You saw Dusty Springfield on the array of photos. She was famous in the same time with a wonderful voice. If you haven't checked her out, please do so. Regarding the word, "love'. It took women a long while to realise that the word was often actually a substitute for the words and intentions of 'lust and sex' by men ! The saying was - "A man gives love to get sex. A woman gives sex to get love" ! ! !

Cilla Black was a huge star all over the world in the 1960’s & early 1970’s. No comparison.

[@ouzalghost8411]

What I loved about female singers in the 60s is that they all the talent in their voices and very well writen songs unlike these day's where they have to go on stage half naked and surrounded by an onterage of dancers who are also semi naked which I believe makes up for their low grade songs and lack of stage presence. The same quality that Cilia can be found in most of the female singers of her era like Diana Ross, Dusty Springfield, Aritha Franklin, Lulu, Sandy Shaw, Shirly Bassy, Dione Warwick etc check em out.

[@calemcqueen]

This song was written by the very great Burt Bacharach and Hal David. They wrote many many hits for many British and American performers primarily in the 1960's and early 1970's.

Huh, I remember this song. Weird, its been years. I was born in 1963 and this was on the radio often when I was a kid. Interesting how music leaves a special impact on your memory. That is why music therapy helps people with dementia just come to life. They remember even when other memories have left their minds. I love all different music styles. Man, she is good at belting!

Kind of gives me goose bumps, I remember when this came out, seeing the black and white film reminds me of an era long ago

[@susanjohnston8267]

Cilla, I grew up with the later version of her being a TV Show host. She always sang on her TV shows songs that were well known by the UK public in sketches which involved someone getting a special surprise as payment for doing a good deed, for charity or community or just being a good person. It was called Surprise, Surprise and it is currently being used as a meme on Tiktok. Also, at the end of each show, there was a reunion of families who have been parted for whatever reason meeting up again after years. Not a dry eye. She also fronted a dating show called Blind Date, watching them back is super cringe over the fashion sense back then. I learned about her earlier songs by looking them up on the tube. Sometimes I feel she had sold herself short by going down the TV route. Dusty Springfield you mentioned. She is another big UK, and more better known in the US artist. The song of Son of a Preacher Man featured in Quentin Tarantinos Pulp Fiction. Now, back to Cilla, a version of her features briefly in a recent movie horror/thriller called Last Night in Soho singing in a club.

[@trevorveail]

Thank you for putting these Liverpodlian songs up/ This is the sound of my teenage years. There were a few odd groups came out of Liverpool in the 1960's who not only were geat heer in the UK but who smashed the USA.

From the Uk. Cilla was along at the same time as - and a close friend of the Beatlles. But if you want the best, listen to her song "Alfi" arrabged by Burt Baccarach - it will make your hair stand on end. Cilla died a few years ago,

[@richardduffy3115]

Cilla Black was a fabulous talent and was a British icon until she died in 2015. She was the opening act for the Beatles when the Beatles were in their early years in Liverpool. You should listen to Alfie by Cilla. It is very good. It is from the movie Alfie, although Dionne Warwick sang the theme song from the 1966 movie. Unsure why they chose Dionne over Cilla. Both are fabulous. Great reaction, you have excellent taste in older music!!
