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

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

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.

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

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

'Alfie' is her best song.

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.

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.

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

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.

When her record was released she went down to a nearby call-box to phone and find out how the song had gone & thats how she found out that it had gone to Number 1. She came from a very poor area of Liverpool ❤

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".

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

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

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!!!

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 .

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

Also Dusty Springfield. Amazing!

I had the same hairstyle in 64.
