For years now, I have always heard of Cilla Black, and i have to say, I really love her voice. Her covers of songs of Bacharach and David (Dionne's original recordings) were really great. In those days, a lot of artists were covering a lot of songs of other acts. that was not new. So I listened to I've been wrong before and It is you and fell in love with these songs at once. Beautiful melodies and great lyrics. Now my favs by her. Too bad the US never really got to see her talent. As for Ed Sullivan, what he did after she performed was really rude, but I think he was hurrying her along due to tight time constraints on the show. I don't ever recall him doing that to anyone ever, and i watched that show for years. Well Britain, you had talent, your Cilla was funny, quirky, a great voice, loads of talent, and fun. I wish today's young talent need to take a page from her about how to treat your fan base with respect. She was cool. RIP Cilla.
My mother got tickets from her boss to see Shirley Bassey. She was really excited about seeing this amazing singer. When she picked up the tickets it said Cilla Black!!! She was devastated. Anyway she went along and she absolutely loved it. A real performer, a true star she said. Bless them both xxx

@Jude Gibson Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Seen this before and still love it and love Cilla. What a talented lady and a very powerful voice. God bless you Cilla and glad you are back in the arms of your soul mate Bobby
Thank you for posting this long interview with Cilla! I'm American and I learned about Cilla from the TV movie "Cilla", which was shown in 3 parts in the States last year (and again this year!). I loved it and that's why I'm here - to learn a bit more about the real Cilla (and her Bobby❤❤). I don't understand why she wasn't a huge hit in the States - she was fabulous and had a beautiful voice!
I saw a documentary about this. I believe it was Burt Bacharach who took her to the States, but somehow she didn’t take to it and became homesick. I don’t think Bobby was with her and if I remember right (I’m quite old now was in my early twenties when the Beatles and Cilla were becoming famous) she phoned him and wanted to go home. Also at that time, the “British Invasion” hadn’t quite got going so maybe the timing wasn’t right.
I remember watching this interview and thinking how wonderfully natural Cilla is , she is relaxed and omg , when she told us about her baby Ellen , it was so sad . I had forgotten that she gave birth to a daughter . I miss Cilla Black.
I miss her Saturday nights growing up Baywatch, Gladiators & Blind Date now its shite like the XFactor (I'm a big fan of Strictly) there be no one like Cilla anymore x
Read this ........ On 1 August 2015, at the age of 72, Black died at her holiday home in the Spanish town of Estepona.A spokesperson for the High Court of Justice in Andalusia suggested that an accident may have been a contributing factor in Black's death Following the results of an autopsy, her sons confirmed that she had died from a stroke following a fall in her home.A pathologist's report confirmed that Black had suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage after falling backwards and hitting her head, presumably on a terrace wall. It was believed she had not been found for at least four hours In 2014, she had stated that she wanted to die when she reached 75, as her mother, who suffered from progressive osteoporosis, had lived to 84 and her final years were difficult According to a friend, she had recently said that she was approaching death, complaining of failing eyesight and hearing as well as arthritis. Black had been suffering with rheumatoid arthritis for years and was in "considerable agony" towards the end of her life
I remember Cilla Black when she had her tv series cilla in 1968 which played in New Zealand also Moment of Truth Played and I think she had visited New Zealand.
@@MarkBriers369 I’ve just been given notifications for this……. During the show she left the set many times at one point she actually shouted for champagne her accent changes, she has this fake posh accent or it’s her real voice I don’t know & they had to keep resetting as some questions she wanted to answer again as she wasn’t happy with the response she gave, piers literally stood with some guy in a headset every time she got up and left.
@@DeanMoxley87 That doesn’t sound good and you’d be right to take the stance you have. Having said that we all have our moments, just as on the flip side, two sunny days in July doesn’t make it a Summer. I haven’t read any really bad comments about Cilla in all of her long career, so I’ll remain a big fan of much of what she did. That’s also not to undermine your experience, because it probably would have made me question my opinion of her too. Thanks for the belated reply and all’s good in sensible discussion and a constructive opinion. Have good weekend my friend.
By all accounts Cilla wasn't the most pleasant person behind the scenes full of her own self importance and a real snob who shunned her working class background in Liverpool a City she never visited during her career at the top unless it was for a photo/self promotion opportunity as mention several times by fellow Liverpudlian Ricky Tomlinson who couldn't stand her.
I cried when loose women made her cry, and even harder when she died 😭 she always reminded me of my grandmother and my nan hated that I used to call her cilla black 😂but when cilla died it brought back the painful memories of my nan dying again. I was so upset 😭😭😭
@ 4:15 her way of outing Sir Cliff? ;) Cilla makes light of it, but her husband Bobby Willis sounds controlling not protective! Huge difference... Cilla was such a great laugh! Her infectiously delightful giggle so tickles me at 40:11! :D I'm glad that's what shines through in this fascinating interview. I really miss seeing her on TV :( May she RIP. x
The truth is Cilla was a vile woman , who would not have spent one second talking to all her fans on this page if there weren't any cameras present. There are far too many tales about her for it not to be true..
Not to speak ill of the dead but I heard she was a nasty bit of work irl not the down to earth lady she portrayed on tv and the accent was put on on tv and irl she affected a cut glass posh voice. She’s got a point about those celebs moaning about the press though.
Dionne Warwick actually sung it first but Cilla made it a very big hit. Fantastic song. She was fab, R.I.P (she apparently died from an injury from a fall, so sad as I feel she’d still be here otherwise) and poor auld Cliff Richard adored her (and she him) I miss her x
crazzi-j north Well according to google (must be true LOL) it was written for Dionne Warwick and released in January 1964 and Cilla in February 1964. That was also the way it was portrayed in the ITV TV miniseries in 2014 but I won’t argue about it. Peace. :)
I say thing y not me in fame world just cause of looks size i don't go by looks size voice cud make u famous as it different lewi armstrong did it like that on cd. I'm a nice person.
Papers should pay them to be in paper and for any damages in accusations it causes i shud have got paid for damages too to my health when that others do i don't

Great legs, and body.
So no matter , what age she was then.
She truly looked great
Cilla was just brilliant lolx ❤❤❤❤🤣🤣🤣🤣❤
I was at this recording.
Different story when the cameras weren’t recording. Vile Vile Vile Woman
Wow, what happened.?. It was all a 'persona' then I take it.
No answer?
It can't have been that shocking!

why is it u scroll down and always see negative comments if you didnt like her keep your comments to yourselves

Sean Ireland Well said. as my mum would say. A hard boiled toff.!!!
There's various accounts of how odious she was..
I watcheed it too never went to friends till watched that.

Bit dramatic..
@@elframo bit holier than thou
I honestly think she should be beatified: St. Cilla, the Patron Saint of British Airways, seat 1A.
She was banned by several airlines..

Paul o Grady the man who was very close cilla black is gutted to hear beloved friend who died suddenly
Cilla recorded "Anyone. . ." before Dionne did.
Back when he interviewed actual television icons instead of reality TV so called stars.
Absolute. Icon. For US. All.
Many think i'm on drugs i'm not and i come back from dr's clean as a whistle.
Please put on full interview of Dannii Minogue
Cilla has great legs !!
Absolutely wonderful! I wonder how tall she was?? Great outfit too!!!
I just posted that they are like a models and she was 66 in this interview
Lisa Marie I think she was abt 5'7"
@@LisaMarie-xp4ym I read she was 5'6" which is fairly tall, a bit above average.
In the late sixties, Cilla looked fabulous in the mini-skirt style of the era! She has great legs!
She’s gorgeous.
voted the rudest celebrity by British airways cabin crew for many years running....
Apparently Shirley Bassey isn’t far behind her.
@@phil4977 I wasn't aware of that
Genuine scouse sense of humour I know lots of people like her :) I’m also from scotty road
👍
Shes actually hated in Liverpool. She was a Tory

working class girl from liverpool becomes rich and famous and tells people to vote tory, that tells you all you need to know
Like her mate jimmy tarbuck.

She was as false as a nine bob note.

I actually don't think Piers Morgan is not as bad as everyone makes him out to be.
Jeremy Clarkson annoys me more than Piers Morgan.
Whitney Houston’s auntie sung one of villas hits ( anyone who had a heart )

Edward Kelly do some research cilla sung it first :) the year before dionne either way they both did a great job

Cilla was a lovely woman
My top favorte tv hosts was michael barrymore cilla black and les dennis no one like them except simon cowell is best these days.
There are a lot of the older generation that adore cliff but the big question is does he adore women?
Anthony Tindle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂he lived with a priest or ex priest.
Died 2015. Unbelievable
Our last breath needs to be taken with Jesus Christ in our souls. Fame is fleeting and no one remembers after two generations.
Piers, twit twoo!! 😘
One in independene dya film talks funny literally.
I would thank the papers for taking photos of me as much as they want. Longs tell the truth. Not to damage me.
