I was 2 years old when our Cilla recorded this, remember the recording technology back then, who else could've nailed this song, no one, she owns it for all time 🎉
I was a teenager at the time Cilla was performing this, and I was totally in love with her! Watching this fifty odd years later, I realise I still am. God rest you, sweetheart. You’ll live forever in videos like this, thank goodness.
I think so. My old college friend said to me tonight. Back then they could sing without the aids. I am not sure she meant Cilla but I got her point ( Cilla's voice I appreciate now).My friend gave up at the end of the 60s, me the 70s with a few exceptions: Paul Carrack, Gary Barlow,
When she gets to the "with your hand resting in mine" line, it's like her voice changed gears. Then she just firmly presses the gas pedal down - to the floor. I absolutely LOVE her powerful voice!
I am a life long Northern Soul fan, follower, DJ and all the things that touch it, this masterpiece is in my humble opinion the greatest song and arrangement I have ever heard on a single record. 😢
As a bloke in my late 50's and a massive AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Sabbath, Def Leppard, motorcycle riding, heavy-drinking numpty, I'm totally unashamed to say this is a stunningly brilliant song with unbelievably powerful vocals, the like of which we may struggle to hear again. It is a bloody masterpiece. There, said it now. Reputation ruined.
I was searching for Helen Reddy’s version and found this! Whoa! Of course I had to Google Miss Cilla! What a talent!!🥰 We’re not so familiar with Ms Cilla here in the States. But now I wish we were. But thanx to TH-cam I can enjoy her music!🥰
Exactly, after all this time it still hits the spot. Was my favourite when it was first released and even now it raises the hairs on my arms and neck. Just beautiful and powerfull. Collars you are so missed.
If you're reading this, i don't know you and probably never will, but I wish you all the happiness in the world. If you like this song, you're my kind of person 💕 x
Jesus you are my world and this is your world and your power so divine..Your children are your world also and I know your love for everyone is out of this world.❤️❤️❤️❤️
I could play this song again and again. It's so powerful and intense. She had a great voice. I wish we still had singers of that calibre but nowadays, female singers just seem to shout.
she could make the hairs on skin tingle for sound, no electronics, take them away from artists today, wonder how many can sing, probably would not make Max Factor never mind X factor 🤗🇬🇧
Absolutely amazing - she almost blows the roof off that place. When she cranks up the power it's like going from zero to hyperspace in three seconds. Like being pushed back into my seat. WOW!!!!!!!!
Add LuLu as well, they were both such powerhouses in the 60s, my era, but unfortunately the younger generation don’t give a monkeys about that and discard anything from that era as something that should be dismissed!!
Its 2024 when I was little Cilla had a show and at the end spread her arms out under a spotlight at end of the concert. I cried. Mum said dont cry she will be on next week. I was 5.

First time listening to this and it’s breathtaking. My generation knew Cilla as a Saturday night icon but she is so much more and we need to remind the world of that fact.
Really like clips from the '60's showing singers live, not lip-synching. My god, this lady had a powerhouse voice, and she knew it too. Amazed she wasn't a bigger force in the business.

I adored cilla ! This is one of my favourites it has such meaning, she sings it so beautifully, the younger generation have missed out her talent 😭 such a shame !
Erm...she had the worst reputation in showbiz. I know several people who met/worked with her, and every single one of them said she was utterly vile. Rude, bullying, and not a trace of the Scouse accent once the cameras stopped rolling. There was even a rumour that the reason why she was unable to get another prime-time show after quitting Blind Date was due to a TV bigwig (whom she was once nasty to when he worked as a runner on her shows) blocking all her comeback attempts. Personally, that wouldn't surprise me. It's interesting that she went from being the highest-paid woman on TV to flogging scammy psychic phonelines within a relatively short space of time.
@@andyblenkey8137 Just wish she had been here in America too! I found her through the internet, and what a treasure! Same with Cliff Richard! Cliff did have a couple big numbers here…Devil Woman, and We Don’t Talk Anymore….Suddenly with Olivia was another hit. Just wish we could have enjoyed them more! Have a good day…love from America! 🇺🇸🤗
Sorry, that's 60 years old. The only one, ever, to top Cilla was Linda Rondstat. Linda was the best mezzo-soprano ever to lend her voice to popular music. So to come second to her is no shame. In fact, I would say, it's a huge complaint, absolutely huge.
@@GaryNoone-jz3mq i remember most of Cilla Blacks, not the year, mums records, more than half a century amazing, watching you watching me, great Phrase, informative info, thankyou
That means what exactly ? She lived on Scotland Road over the shops , she used to come up to Kirkby to baby sit form my nan . Her family used to know the Singletons that lived in the flat underneath my nan, thsts how she come to baby sit for her . Is that enough "bollocks" for you?
My beloved wife,Jenny,has recently died.This song was released a month after we first starting going out together and perfectly captured my feelings about her.I now want only to die as life is meaningless without her.
no life is meaningless and your thinking that is an insult to your wife. How do you think she would feel to hear you say that? It negates all you have shared together. Be brave and live your life as she would want you to do.
Her phenomenal power takes my breath away. At her best - and sometimes not the greatest material was chosen for her - she was peerless. What an astonishing voice to come out of such a slip of a girl 👧 Cilla, we love you & your extraordinary talent as a musician 😍 RIP 🤩🌹🌟
I was 18 1964 and have been in England.I remember Cilla and this song. Now I am 75 andstill feel emotion listening this song an her voice.Thanks Cilla for all joyful moments and memories with your music.God bless you.
Que emoción al leer su comentario, soy exactamente de su misma generación y no dejo de sentir ésa emoción al igual que cuando a mis 17 años la escuché y quedó en "mi mundo" para siempre.
I'm afraid I have to disagree. It's not going backwards at all. It's going to hell in a handbasket at ever increasing speed! However, you're dead right about the 60's!
So true. I just wish I could do like in the movie, to go back to the '60s and live there, instead of this hellish and terrible reality we have in 2024. I was born 1997, and the world now is simply a mess.
@deloreandmc: I reckon you'd find it tough, being born in the late 90's. I've been there, I know what to expect. The excitement of the Space-Race, coupled with the threat of nuclear immolation. Plusses and Minuses. 😉 Once you've adapted though, I'm sure you'd have fun. I'd go back in a heartbeat! 😁
My sister was 17 and I was 6 and we use to play the 45 record and sing along with Cilla at the top of our lungs. What a true voice and beautiful song. Such a gifted singer. This memory lives on even though my sister has passed. Love you DeDa
I have been to Liverpool. It’s a nice city now. In these times it was very different . People like Cilla were lucky but there was huge poverty. Buildings still falling down after bombings in World War 11. The docks were hit hard. Smog because people burnt coal for heat. Cilla is brilliant but there are new Cilla’s out the eg Dua Lippa . For music fans yes it was magic, but life was very tough.
I became a teenager just as the Liverpool sound hit the world, what a fantastic time it was, wish I had a time machine to transport me back there just for a month or so
Back then, no wanting to be somebody else, voices not falsetto. Lessons to be learned today. Keep it real. No riffs no runs just pure natural vocals. 💜
Did you hear how she flipped from one voice technique to another, as she went from the verse to the pre-chorus? The softer verse, then that powerful yet effortless sound, straight through the end of the chorus? That was a teeny masterclass moment, and I certainly learned something!!!
What a fantastic voice. I was just a child when she sang this. To this day, when I hear her, I shed a tear. Along with, Petula Clark, and, the legendary, Dusty Springfield. Lordy! I was 6 y/o. I'm now going on 63. Keep playing these wonderful songs, we grew up with. Each one, has a different meaning to us. Good, or bad. Let us focus on the good. That's what I do. God Bless all of these souls, who have touched us, in so vey, many ways.
Certainly one of them. I'd also nominate Timi's "Hurt", Shirley's Yam, and Marti's Sunday. But this is definitely in the list! (Always seems sad when people feel one is _the_ best; enjoy them all!)
So true. I think I stopped enjoying new music by the 90's. 80's music was silly and fun and then grunge and rap took over, now it's rap hiphop and country and it all sucks. A few artists still can actually sing but the songwriting is mostly abysmal.
Possibly because there were so many other fabulous singers at the time? I tell my friends that we were lucky to grow up with the music we had, I am 61. I could reel off loads of bands/artists who made great music in the decades before the millennium, whose music is still relevant and being played today.
Think part of the problem was her competition with Dionne Warwick on Burt Bachrach's songs where her versions were so much more powerful so the Americans gave her less play time. Was very unfair and Americans have to be the leaders!!
Incredible LIVE performance across the board. Beautifully written song. 0:16 - 0:30 the melody and chord changes are absolute perfection. Written by Umberto Bindi and Gino Paoli. 0:02 That's George Martin conducting the orchestra!
our cilla was a legend. her voice was unmatchable. true passion and power!!
Agree,together with Judith Durham
And believe it or not, when Cilla was invited on stage at the Cavern Club to sing with numerous bands, she was an out and out Rock chick.

How she expresses the song in this video is touching, poignant, beautiful.
Very underrated song. So powerful.
So true!!
Now that is a sensational voice !
Cilla is killa!
What a fantastic voice. I was just a child when she sang this. To this day, when I hear her, I shed a tear. Along with, Petula Clark, and, the legendary, Dusty Springfield. Lordy! I was 6 y/o. I'm now going on 63. Keep playing these wonderful songs, we grew up with. Each one, has a different meaning to us. Good, or bad. Let us focus on the good. That's what I do. God Bless all of these souls, who have touched us, in so vey, many ways.
Incredible voice
Quite simply, this is the best power ballad ever, and Cilla's voice is perfect for it.
Certainly one of them. I'd also nominate Timi's "Hurt", Shirley's Yam, and Marti's Sunday. But this is definitely in the list! (Always seems sad when people feel one is _the_ best; enjoy them all!)
This was real music. And real talent. I could almost cry when I think of the low-class slop we have today.
So true. I think I stopped enjoying new music by the 90's. 80's music was silly and fun and then grunge and rap took over, now it's rap hiphop and country and it all sucks. A few artists still can actually sing but the songwriting is mostly abysmal.
This is something I call real singing that makes you shiver!
Makes me cringe, sorry.
I cannot get enough of this song. She goes from a naive girl to an experienced woman with the cosmic voice!!!
Cilla, you will definitely never be forgotten. From your days in the Cavern with the Beatles. God bless you
This song really showcases Cillla’s vocal range and pitch perfection. A class act.
She is a great singer that makes you feel with the power of her voice
pure voice, pure music, no synth or computer enhancements, love those times
הרבה זיכרונות נעימים השיר הזה מעלה. תודה לך סילה.
Utterly fabulous, pure gold.
Thank you Last Night in Soho for bringing me to this gem. Still can't move on from the film or the soundtrack.
Gives me shivers as she builds up to her full range of power! Really divine!
I can't believe she wasn't a bigger hit in USA! Loved her voice!
Bruce Krall Her surname was Black, and we know how Americans handle “Black” people.
@@dot10k Like the Man in Black ...oh he was a great.
Possibly because there were so many other fabulous singers at the time? I tell my friends that we were lucky to grow up with the music we had, I am 61. I could reel off loads of bands/artists who made great music in the decades before the millennium, whose music is still relevant and being played today.
Think part of the problem was her competition with Dionne Warwick on Burt Bachrach's songs where her versions were so much more powerful so the Americans gave her less play time. Was very unfair and Americans have to be the leaders!!
This was her only song to reach the American top 40.
Incredible LIVE performance across the board.
Beautifully written song. 0:16 - 0:30 the melody and chord changes are absolute perfection.
Written by Umberto Bindi and Gino Paoli.
0:02 That's George Martin conducting the orchestra!
Chills - what a performance! ❤
Love this beautiful song. What a voice.
This is an Italian song by Gino Paoli and Umberto Bindi.
@@robertopesenti1173 will look it up. Thanks for the info...
