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 TH-cam 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!
They were both great onsty peppole the We're onisty love the bones on both rest in peaces both of u they bee partying up there togeather god bless both of u xx😅❤❤❤
Great memories! We was sitting in the front row. It was A FABULOUS evening! It was SUCH an honour to be there and see Cilla sing and perform! Cilla was SUCH a SPECIAL lady!
I loves cilla she was lovely. Great voice. So nice. & Paul o'grady loved her , & now he's gone, carnt believe it she will be with her , Barbara and dot cotton having a laugh . Bless them all of them. Xx
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❤️👌🌈😘😀😍
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!
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 :)
You may really like this if you like this video th-cam.com/video/kb86dydD7mw/w-d-xo.html some really nice moments in that video I thought :) It's interesting looking back at that actually I thought :)
I'm just now discovering Cilla Black. Of course I've always heard of her and knew a few songs from the radio but that was about it. But I can now say that I love her.
Such a legend , what a career , I loved her , and Paul's tribute that I just re watched brought tears to my eyes it is so heart felt and beautiful .. He did her proud with those touching and funny memories x x The world seems a lot duller without Cilla in it
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.
Oh how I enjoyed cilla ,and Paul it was wonderful an hour of memoryswith two very special people I remembered all the places Villa went back to so sad her bobby couldn't have been with her so sadly missed wish she could have stayed longer bless her she was the one and only thanks for a great show Paul lol from Liverpool xxxx
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 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.
@@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 :)
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.
What a fantastic lady! R.I.P. As non-British, never saw any of her programs, and it was a surprise to see this video. Such a comedienne, such a talent. And such a nice and warm person.
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 ⚘
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❤👍!
This is a beautiful work of art and an exceptional piece of history. There are extremely few people on the planet with Cilla's soul...thankfully I married one :)
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.
Tracey and Alison's performances underline how good Cilla's recordings are. The difference is, with Cilla, you feel like you've been through an emotional experience.
I enjoy the show so much with two great great pals Mr Paul O'Grady and the late great wonderful person fabulous singer and one of the greatest Entertainer The late great Miss Cilla Black . My wonderful sister -in - law was on holiday on the island that Cilla Black and Cliff Richard holiday homes are . My sister-in-Law was in the same Restaurant that Cilla Black and her wonderful close friends having meal with . It made her evening go with a bang . With manners she never went to ask Cilla for her Autograph as bad manner when Cilla is entertaining her close friends, . I had a wonderful time watching and Celebrating 50 years in the Entertainment RIP Mrs Cilla White
How lovely that CIlla was able to see just how well-loved she was, as many tributes are done after someone dies. This brought back lots of memories for this almost 50 year old English 'girl' living in the USA. Thanks so much for sharing :)
Amazing what people considered "scary" in those days. We could go anywhere, any time, without worrying or our parents worrying. NOWADAYS it's SCARY! Great video!
Cilla’s Funeral was the same day as my uncles. Loved Cilla Black used to watch Blind Date when I was younger ♥️ & just seen Piers Morgan life stories.I think they should repeat Blind Date out of tribute very funny & lovely lady & have also seen the royal variety performance numerous time’s with Paul o Grady & Babs Windsor (Gypsy) Wow those legs are AMAZING.2 legends lost (Babs Windsor & Cilla Black)Rest In Peace Girls 🌹🌹
Keep Surprise Surprising in your next life Cilla and go on that long awaited Blind Date with Bobby. Till we see you again, Tarra Chuk. You will be missed enormously. R.I.P. xoxo
I was only talking to my 86 year old auntie last week about how we loved the telly when we had Blind Date, Bruce Forsyth, Terry Wogan and Paul on his chat shows. RIP to all of them, Doddy as well. So many happy memories, and they were happy days.
A real success story . Humility still with them both. Wonderful story and people. Every time I hear the last song here ' Liverpool lullaby ' I really want to cry. Thanks John (Australia)
They should had have Cilla done a one-off revive of SURPRISE SURPRISE!! for this anniversary party special since that was Cilla’s other big hit series at the time
Hope these two are having an awesome time , they were both ICONS and will be truly missed RIP Paul and Cilla
Well said Marg

why didn't you like the other Brit shows like The A-Team, Airwolf, Knightrider, etc?
@@rehan2118 - I never watched that crap. I do remember seeing Nirvana on Jonathan Ross. That was an eye opener.
She had it all - beauty, talent, humor, and class.
RIP Cilla Black - wonderful singer, wonderful woman
I'm just now discovering Cilla Black. Of course I've always heard of her and knew a few songs from the radio but that was about it. But I can now say that I love her.
Loved her from America! Amazing voice and could belt out a song!
Bought all her albums! Amazing voice!
Such a legend , what a career , I loved her , and Paul's tribute that I just re watched brought tears to my eyes it is so heart felt and beautiful .. He did her proud with those touching and funny memories x x The world seems a lot duller without Cilla in it

Everyone? Seems like every video with her in is 50:50 between people that say that, and people saying she was not.
@@auricstorm I was being sarcastic.
what a lady always remember her, she brought so much happiness to so many - heres to you Cilla, god bless x x
I'm so glad she got this tribute whilst she was alive. Cilla Black remains a British television icon.
Just a pure legend. RIP Cilla. 😘
Wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady who is dearly missed ❤❤❤
Cilla is an icon and no one will ever be able to follow in her footsteps. RIP darling lady. xx

She was a gem - and we wont ever forget her.
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 ♫
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.
Ooh. Wasn't that absolutely marvellous! And that last song sent shivers down my spine! 70 years of age! Flip sakes! :)
Miss her .... Tears in my eyes at the end.
Katie Melua sang Alfie so beautifully .. takes guts to sing an iconic song in front of the iconic star whose sang it originally
I watched it all and it was so nostalgic and wonderful R I P Cilla
She had a one in a hundred million voice. It can literally bring tears, rare quality very rare. Like The Hope Diamond.

Loved watching this, especially Alison Moyet, she looks and sounds great, thank for the post.

No airs and graces. She was known to be a absolute horrible person off camera
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.
It was a Truly Beautiful Song, She Nailed it 👍 🙏💜RiP in Peace Cilla & Paul God Bless You Both 😢xxx
Great that she get this tribute wen she was still alive . RIP sweetheart .
Wasnt aware she died, only 72, seems kinda young
I love her!
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.

Just great. Bring back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing
I was in the audience to this show , She did appear lost at times and Paul helped her along , Really miss her
The whistling from the audience is incredible!
I still find it hard to believe she’s gone, but in a way I’m glad it was so quick & she didn’t have to suffer !!!!!
RIP Cilla , at last you are reunited with your late beloved husband Bobby!
I hope cilla is with her beloved Bobbylol
This a good video of Cilla Black and I like it a lot. Carol WilsonX

That was a Treat! Luvya Cilla!
She seems such a lovely genuine lady with a beautiful heart, thank you Cil for giving us so many laughs, rest in peace darling ❤ 🇬🇧
Unfortunately she was far from that
@@markwilks1896 oh grow up
@@Dowager66 🤣🤣🤣
I always adored Cilla!!
What did Cilla Black die from?
Didn't think that anyone could sing Alfie but Cilla however Katie Melhua had me in tears (of joy)
I think Anthony Newley would have done a fine rendition. Trouble was, he hated the song.
A superb lady loved her shows and her voice... may you rest in peace........
keep thier memory alive , best times love you both , xx
Loved cilla she was a great singer loved her songs, she was a great host always liked watching surprise surprise 😊

Miss cilla and paul both great entertainers
No one sings her songs like her, no one, unique voice
She had an ok voice in the 60s but after that it was awful
That's my childhood right. I loved that.
I loved and miss her!! So much!! Hey chuck!! 🏴💕🇬🇧
