Last night in a rehearsal in Brooklyn, NY the guitar player was gushing about Dionne Warwick singing the title song of the movie, "Alfie" and how our 24 year-old keyboard player-savant (who barely knew the Beatles) should learn it. I don't know much about film but I said, "Hold on, that was Cilla Black!" He disagreed and popped open KZbin to prove it, and me right. I never actually saw the movie but I loved her performance of the song which was a fairly big hit on its own here in the States. Dionne later did a terrific version of the song too but Cilla sang it with such strength and authority that it remains my favorite. Same with Anyone Who Had a Heart, which I performed years ago in a bass/vocal duo with a Brit singer. Being in the States I never knew that Cilla had a long and successful career in British television because those shows were never broadcast here. I just considered her an amazing vocalist so this video was really interesting for me. Glad I watched it!

[@weskitten]

Very well expressed. I know she and Dionne vied for acclaim with a couple of songs.

[@janeclarkson8471]

I just love Cilla. She makes you happy. I'm a Black Country "girl" and live people from Birmingham up! My dad was a Lancashire lad! Long Live Cilla. For me the 50's and 60's is indelible. R.I.P Cilla. Total joy! Today the Saturday night's are so forgettable. Xxx❤️👌🌈😘😀😍

It's very telling that every person who ever met her remarks on what a lovely, warm, friendly, down to earth person she was, both on and off stage, and how she never forgot her roots.

Everyone? Seems like every video with her in is 50:50 between people that say that, and people saying she was not.

I really loved Cilla. It was one of the few Brit shows I would watch on TV being an American Serviceman stationed in London in the late 1980's & early 90's. Best bloody time of my life . Tara Cilla!

[@jeremysmith54565]

That's amazing and thank you :) Yeah it was sometimes some of the shows incredibly cheesy but least they were decent thats all I say really :) Yeah was born in the very early 80s myself :)

Cilla Black was an amazing lady, no airs and graces about her. I met her back in 1995 when I arranged a surprised meeting for my Mum to see her brother who she hadn't seen in 41 years, it was surprise surprise. Cilla just made you feel at total ease, she had a beautiful warmth about her, and made you feel like you had known her for years, like meeting an old friend. She was a genuine person, one who didnt let fame go to her head. Thank you Cilla for your music, your light and your love. RIP dear sweet lady ⚘

[@DeanMoxley87]

No airs and graces. She was known to be a absolute horrible person off camera

what a great life she lived; such a lovely lady with a fantastic sense of humor; my mom used to listen to her all the time; love you Cilla ♫

[@bassmandanmartin3700]

What a wonderful lady. I love her music, and had the pleasure to talk with her for almost a half an hour three and a half years ago. She was a complete sweetheart. No other celebrity could possibly have been as dear.

I can promise you Ringo, you haven't lost your accent, only the power of it. If I met you in the street and you said to me where do I come from, I would definitely say Liverpool.

I never cared much for her voice aside from liking a couple of her early recordings (I wasn't born until the 70s so I wasn't around in her heyday). Love love love her personality though.

[@jeremysmith54565]

@@k.wilkie3814 same here rather myself though in the very early 80s, I mean there's two sides to her dying wouldn't wish that kind of pain she realistically must have been in real physical pain from a form of arthritis thats not fair but then just part of me wishes she'd been around for a lot longer than just over 70 it's so unfair on that side too :) With another post in reality it may look like I hate her, far from it just see things in black and white though things can change so fair play to her about her being a Tory supporter bollocks do I hate her, as I said fair play to her :)

[@jeremysmith54565]

Well what I said being black and white there's no emotion to it and nor could I ever hate Cill ever she was a wonderful amazing looking lady and very much respect her, she probably was more apolitical after her supporting the Tories :) Watching (just bought he biopic) Cilla on Amazon and seriously loving it! Beautiful name is Priscilla I think is the correct spelling.

[@melvyncox3361]

A delightful,talented,down to earth and lovely woman.l remember seeing her in Harrods in 1970 when l was a kid.l think l pointed her out and rather loudly said 'that's Cilla Black',and she turned round and smiled.Shame she's gone.RIP Cilla. You were great❤👍!

Class act, sharp as a tack and still looking great. The poor girl who sang Anyone Who Had A Heart - once you've heard Cilla sing it, that's it.

"The poor girl"? That's THE Alison Moyet lol Although nobody could sing that song like our Cilla.
