Thanks for your reaction. Cilla Black has to be one of the greatest British entertainers of all time. For decades she dominated Saturday night television in the UK with honesty, humility, the common touch with a bit of magic. She is, and always will b,e a legend 👍
Great to see you covering Cilla Black, Sue .. She was one of a fantastic group of British female pop singers of the 60s, along with Petula Clarke, Dusty Springfield, Sandie Shaw, and Lulu, all of whom had many big hits, and they would all be worth reacting to .. Cilla had a big voice and really knew how to put over a song .. I strongly recommend her "Anyone Who Had A Heart" and "It's For You".
Wow, Wayne, thank you so much for this. I had no idea she is in the same group as the other women you mentioned. I didn't know Sandi shaw either but Lulu, Dusty and Petula I know them all. I love this..new to me people to explore. I will check out the songs you mentioned 🤩💜
She was like The Beatles from Liverpool and was the hat-check girl at the cavern and used to get up with the lads to sing .. then she was signed by Brian Epstein, the beatles manager.. Burt Bacharach wrote Anyone while had a heart & Alfie for her.. which annoyed Dionne Warwick because she wanted the Alfie song... in Britain, she was massive and the first woman to have her own show simply called CILLA
I love it! She is so good. I will do more of Cilla for you. She is very special. Thanks for the backstory, Edward. I always like to learn more about singers I was not familar with 🤩
Cilla Black and the Beatles where best friends. Cilla's father was a barber who used to cut Ringo Stars hair and they all lived around liverpools famous Scotty Road.
This is a very old video, which I have never seen before, but it’s definitely an early recording of her singing as you can see how shy she is and she would’ve had Bobby standing not far from her as she always liked Bobby to be beside her in her early days. absolutely love her. If it wasn’t for John Lennon and the Beatles encouraging her to get up on stage at the Cavern she would not have been spotted by her manager, Brian. I love everything there is about here..
@littlemisskate4254 Hi Kate, thanks for the backstory. Thank goodness, John convinced her to get up and sing. The world is better for having heard her sing 🥰
Cilla Black was a clockroom attendant at the cavern and knew the beatles very well and they asked thier manager Brian Epstien to sound track her as a favour the rest is history
The Beatles did write a couple of songs specifically for Cilla Black, and they're definitely worth a listen. The song "It's For You" is a great early Cilla track, and was a UK Top Ten hit in 1964. Btw, the original acetate demo featuring Paul McCartney's voice was discovered in 2016! The song "Step Inside Love" became a signature Cilla Black song, and was written by Paul in 1967 as a theme for her TV series "Cilla", which first aired in 1968. 😊
Cilla was a hat check girl at the Iron Door Club on Temple Street before she later moved to the nearby Cavern Club. It was at the Iron Door that she first met the Beatles and where she first sang on stage backed by the Big Three. The Iron door was where the Beatles first played under that name and was the original home of Merseybeat, hosting all the groups while the Cavern was still a jazz club. Only after it saw what was happening at the Iron Door did the Cavern turn to rock. The Cavern has reaped all the fame whilst the Iron Door is virtually unknown.
Hey Peebeedee, that is very interesting. I have never heard of the Iron Door but of course I have heard of the Cavern so your point is well taken. Thanks so much for the backstory 🤩
Cilla was the biggest female UK recording artist of the 60's with 2 number 1 songs and countless top ten hits. She went on to be a huge TV star and presenter. She was signed by the same man who signed the Beatles after hearing her at the Caven Club. She was friends with the Beatles before they hit the big time and remaind so afterwards. She was a regular guest on their TV speacial which brought her huge fame. Before they were signed the Beatles found themsleves without a drummer and it was Cilla who suggested they give Ringo a chance, The rest is history. This song btw was the number 1 the day i was born so always makes me think of my mum who nearly died bringing me into the world.
Hi Mervin, thank you for you mist informative comment. I appreciate it. Cilla is fantastic. I have reacted to 3 if her songs niw and I think she is fabulous. I am glad both you and your mum made it through 🤗❤️
Look out for a Documentary Drama from 2014 - Cilla is a British drama serial about the early career of Cilla Black starring Sheridan Smith as Cilla - all about her early career. By the way - have a listen to Sheridan Smith when you can - an actress and great singer in her own right (try to fine her single 'Anyone Who Had a Heart')
She's a legend. You're My World" is a cover of Italian ballad originally recorded in 1963 as "Il mio mondo" ("My World") by Umberto Bindi who co-wrote the original version with Gino Paoli. Subsequently, an English version was commissioned, and the lyrics were written by Carl Sigman as "You're My World". This gives me goosebumps, others have sung it, but hers had heart.
Hi Loretta, Thanks so much for tuning in and commenting. Cilla is amazing! I am so glad I came across her. I have now done a 2nd reaction to her as well so if you are interested, you could check it out if you want to scroll through my videos. There will be more Cilla in the future as well. I look forward to hearing more of her stuff 🤩
Hi Norman, she is absolutely incredible! I have listened to a few of her songs now and I can't wait to hear more. I appreciate you tuning in and commenting 🤩
So glad you have discovered Cilla, she recorded so many great songs. I think her version of 'Anyone who had a heart' was far better than Dionne Warwicks, Cilla sang it with more feeling and emotion. It was the biggest selling single in the UK by a female artist throughout the 60s. Keep listening to Cilla😁
Thank you, Tom. I haven't heard of the song you mentioned. I wil check it out. She was great. I really enjoyed her voice. I am so interested to hear more from her. I appreciate you tuning in and commenting 🤩💜
She kept her feet firmly on the ground and never forgot her humble beginnings. They made a three part of her life from when she first tried to make it in the industry. She surprised her parents with atheir own new home once she was established. We all loved Cilla
Great friends with The Beatles, and one of the first women having her own prime time TV show, she went onto presenting many other TV shows throughout her career, and one of the highest paid in the UK
Wow, good for her. I had no idea she was so big! Do you know anything about the show she appeared on in this song? Was it a regular weekly show or a one off? Thanks Sandra 🤩
@@playitagainsue could have been her own show,, yes she had a number of hits sadly she passed away suddenly about six years ago at one of homes over in Spain, but left a lot of great interviews, TV shows and music behind,and we have yet two more Knights Sir James McCartney Paul is actually his middle name and Sir Ringo Starr ( Richard Starkey)
@@playitagainsue Sir Ringo in the past few years and Sir Paul quite some time ago, we also have Sir Cliff Richard, Sir Elton John, Dame Shirley Bassey to name a few
I think you will find the Beatles wrote this for CILLA They were responsible for her Debut and she went on to make great hits also Written by Bert Bacarac . She went on to have her own TV show called Surprie Surprise . She was a well liked person also a great friend of Sir Cliff Richard . She Tragically died in 2013 i think . Great singer great tv personality .
Really! How cool is this, John. Thank you so much for this info. I will see if I can find some performances from her show and react to them. Thanks John 🤩
Hi John .. The Beatles did not write this song .. As Sue mentioned, it was an Italian song, and Cilla recorded an English version of it .. However, Lennon / McCartney did write 3 of Cilla's hits for her .. They are "It's For You", "Step Inside Love", and "Love of the Loved" .. Cheers, Wayne
Around the Beatles was a 1964 TV Special. there was a big British Biography Tv film on the life of Cilla Black, made around 2014, it was fantastic. You can find it somewhere online. Ringo knew Cilla before the Beatles did, his mom used to do her mom's hair...the Beatles were very good friends of hers, they all had the same manager, Brian Epstein.
Cilla Black WAS a rock singer, just like the Beatles (who played for her when she auditioned for Brian Epstein). However, being a girl singer in the early 1960s meant that female rock singers did not yet exist (that came about a decade later). So Cilla Black had to conform to the era she was in. She was a pioneer who was ahead of her time.
Very interesting, Shaman! I had heard she was friends with the Beatles, but I had no idea she was a rock singer who had to change her format to conform. She was an amazing singer no matter what she sang though 🤩
Yes. Cilla Black wanted to be a singer ... but the music industry wanted to make money out of her. Nothing has changed. Have you heard of Eva Cassidy? Another wonderful singer; she COULD NOT GET A RECORD CONTRACT! Peace be upon you.@@playitagainsue
Hi Sue, yes the wonderful Cilla. I was too young to see her live, as she gave up singing to become a TV presenter. She had a big voice, but unfortunately suffered in the 70s with her voice. Cilla & Dusty Springfield both recorded a number of Italian songs transcribed into English. The one off show, Around The Beatles is available on RUclips & is worth watching, especially when Cilla is coming down the staircase & encounters the Beatles.
Hey Dave, ok so this was just a singular show. It looked cool...too bad it wasn't an ongoing series...that would have been amazing. She is so good....what a voice she had 🤩💙
@@playitagainsue The Beatles were in such demand for TV, radio, films, tours, writing songs for themselves & others and of course recording themselves! No wonder they turned into studio rats. Cilla had a magnificent voice in the 60s & had many hit singles & albums. It was a shock when she passed away, although she did live to a good age.
She was the coat and hat check girl at the Cavern in Liverpool friend of the beatles who used to let her sing with them .. Brian Epstine heard her an signed her up.. their is a three part series out just called Cilla
Hi Sue. As others have mentioned, Cilla was good friends with Cliff Richard. They used to appear on each other's tv shows. There's a video of a nice mashup of "Walk On By/The Look of Love" that they did together in 1969. Cliff also sang at her funeral (it's on YT). Don't know how he got through it.
dont know bout vis show, cilla n v boys were freinds b4 vey all became famous. cilla had her own tv show i beleive. thats a gd voice, she can sing, i vagley know she sung hits.
@@playitagainsueShe was actually 22 when she sang this. I know this because I was 16 and born in the same district of Liverpool. Her mum went to school with my dad and kept true to her roots .Cilla offered her mum anything she wanted but her mum wanted nothing more than to be a "barrow woman"in the Liverpool markets and continued to be true scouser .. God bless her.
@@footscorn wow what great personal connections you had. It must have been such a great time to grow up in Liverpool. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. 🤩
You must see Connie Francis, The #1 female singer in all the world. She had numerous hits in Canada starting with EIGHTEEN HP#28 in 1957. it didn't chart in the US. Her 1st #1 in Canada was Who's Sorry Now? HP#1 for 3 weeks in 1958, US BB HP #4. She had a French gold #1 with JAMAIS[Your Love} in the French speaking part. With an astounding 400 million sales and 56 HOT 100 1957-1969 +1973. 16 US gold 1958-1962.
Read a comment below from winny, as much as I see where your coming from I don't believe it's totally fair. Cilla was working class but made good (many have done the same) Cilla never forgot her upbringing but lived a life of a wealthy woman and did not hide that. She remained in the UK living throughout the very high taxes of the 1970s. Had she been a Labour voter, she would have been labelled a 'Champaigne Socialist'. So she would not have won with that.
My pop listening is basically from the late 50's. You have many, many treats in store. As the UK charts had the best of UK and American artists (+ Eurovision artists of course) my recommendation is to listen to the many collections of top 20 UK artists (possibly by year) on such as Spotify. Listen for pleasure (it will be😊) then choose a different hit by someone who impressed you to react to. I am glad you are exporing music from the past, it would be a shame if such great recordings did not get many new listeners.
@@playitagainsuefurther to my suggestion: try playing the first few seconds of each song until you hit one that really stands out. 2 or 3 decades of top 20 songs is a collosal number to get through😊
Good to see you are listening to this gem of a singer. Her 3 favourite songs of mine are "Surround yourself with sorrow" "Conversation" and "Step inside love" Listen to the original studio version sounds much much better not muffled and very much clearer. This is a horrible version of this very muffled recording. I don't think live versions sound the best.
@@playitagainsue not sure, but she was supposed to do so, but marketing said "NO!! nuh huh NO!!! with big NO!" because they were marketing the Beatles a boy band essentially, but Lennon, McCartney wrote a lot for her
@@playitagainsue she was really supposed to, the guys and the local crowd wanted it, the Gob on legs is legend i got to see her once at the floral pavilion New Brighton iirc I was young and confused, but i fell in love with her, t was between her and Kate Bush, different but both wonderful
That is cool. Paul did a lot of writing for other people especially woman. Not sure what was up with the sound when you listened. It sounds fine on my end...weird. Thanks Andy 😀
Dionne Warwick' accused Cilla of stealing her songs. Both Warwick and Black legally sang many of the same copyrighted Burt Bacharach songs. Warwick, who was married to Bacharach for a time, recorded them all first. Cilla so copied Warwick's style it's almost impossible to tell which of the two singers it is on a recording. This cost Warwick a lot of sales and income in the UK market and led to long feud. Mostly from Warwick..
There's another black & white video on here of Cilla Black singing this same song only much better. More stronger and powerful sounding. It's dated May 1, 1964. And I like that one much better than this one. She also sounds more like a black woman in the other one. Best singer.
Wow, Tommy that would be incredible to be even better as I thought this was amazing. If you find the link, send it to me and I will watch it. Thanks a bunch 🤩
You''ve got a rather muffled recording, with dull instrumentation too. There are better ones. Those violin stabs … Cilla (real name Priscilla white!) is one of those whose first name suffices. She eventually had her own TV show for I think decades on British TV.
Fantastic song. I have mixed feelings because of her politics. A true working class Liverpudlian who sold her soul on the alter of Maggy Thatcher. Usual story, poor girl gets rich - and no longer wants to pay her fair share of taxes. Her demise is just as sad. All alone in her Spanish Villa. Apologies for turning the mood sour - she was no 'working class hero' as John would later say.
Wow, Winny. I had no idea about any of that. That is a shame. I know nothing about her I just came across her and heard this song and thought it was fantastic. Thank you so much for the back story though I appreciate it and thank you for tuning in and commenting 🤩
@@playitagainsue Sue, I was wrong to bring up her politics. You are a music review channel and it's only right that you highlight any music you want. She was a fabulous singer. Apologies. Keep doing your stuff!
Cilla Black one of the many great English singers from the 60s and 70s like the Beatles and Dusty Springfield. ❤
The British public loved Cilla from her singing and to her being a presenter. She died tragically a few years back.😢
Hi Heather, thanks for watching. Cilla is amazing. I have reacted to 3 of her songs now if you are interested, you could check them out 😄

Cilla Black and the Beatles where best friends. Cilla's father was a barber who used to cut Ringo Stars hair and they all lived around liverpools famous Scotty Road.
@tonyshallow Thanks for that Tony. I love that her dad cut Ringo's hair. What talents, all 5 of them were all from the same neighbourhood no less 🥰
Her Father was a dock labourer but they did live above a barbers shop.
maybe that's what you were thinking? Her mother was friends with Ringo's mum.
In 1964 Cilla led the 'British Invasion' into America. We called her the 5th Beatle!
I love that, Albert. Cilla is amazing 🤗💚

@@playitagainsueShe was actually 22 when she sang this. I know this because I was 16 and born in the same district of Liverpool. Her mum went to school with my dad and kept true to her roots .Cilla offered her mum anything she wanted but her mum wanted nothing more than to be a "barrow woman"in the Liverpool markets and continued to be true scouser .. God bless her.
@@footscorn wow what great personal connections you had. It must have been such a great time to grow up in Liverpool. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. 🤩
Sue, you should also watch this song recorded in the Savoy hotel, it's fantastic
Ok thanks for the heads up on that one, Ro 😃
You must see Connie Francis, The #1 female singer in all the world. She had numerous hits in Canada starting with EIGHTEEN HP#28 in 1957. it didn't chart in the US. Her 1st #1 in Canada was Who's Sorry Now? HP#1 for 3 weeks in 1958, US BB HP #4. She had a French gold #1 with JAMAIS[Your Love} in the French speaking part. With an astounding 400 million sales and 56 HOT 100 1957-1969 +1973. 16 US gold 1958-1962.
Thanks Roger. I appreciate you tuning in and commenting. 🤗
I love this song
Hi Euronick, it is a fantastic song. I am so glad I found it. Thanks for tuning in 🤩
Read a comment below from winny, as much as I see where your coming from I don't believe it's totally fair. Cilla was working class but made good (many have done the same) Cilla never forgot her upbringing but lived a life of a wealthy woman and did not hide that. She remained in the UK living throughout the very high taxes of the 1970s. Had she been a Labour voter, she would have been labelled a 'Champaigne Socialist'. So she would not have won with that.
She sang this on the Ex Sullivan show.
Thanks Footscorn 😀
Listen to anyone who had a heart
You got it, Carol...will do! 🤩
She belonged to the same studio.
Thanks Mithras 🤩
This is a very early recording. She gets a lot more polished later on. Find a later version.
This was the cilla black show, beatles were long time friends of hers.😊
Hey W, thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it 🤩
I thought this was a little bit too early to be the Cilla Black show. As I thought it was later but I could be wrong.
I’ve heard of her only because of her association with The Beatles. I never heard this song though.
Hi Lee, it is a good song isn't it? I had never heard of her at all 🤩
My pop listening is basically from the late 50's. You have many, many treats in store. As the UK charts had the best of UK and American artists (+ Eurovision artists of course) my recommendation is to listen to the many collections of top 20 UK artists (possibly by year) on such as Spotify. Listen for pleasure (it will be😊) then choose a different hit by someone who impressed you to react to. I am glad you are exporing music from the past, it would be a shame if such great recordings did not get many new listeners.
Thank you Andy! I agree with you. It would be a shame. We just to keep listening and exploring to keep all this older music alive 🤩
@@playitagainsuefurther to my suggestion: try playing the first few seconds of each song until you hit one that really stands out. 2 or 3 decades of top 20 songs is a collosal number to get through😊
Good to see you are listening to this gem of a singer. Her 3 favourite songs of mine are "Surround yourself with sorrow" "Conversation" and "Step inside love" Listen to the original studio version sounds much much better not muffled and very much clearer. This is a horrible version of this very muffled recording. I don't think live versions sound the best.
Hi Georgette, thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate you tuning in 🤩
Cilla was the 5th beatle
Hey Furi, did Cilla sing with them?
@@playitagainsue not sure, but she was supposed to do so, but marketing said "NO!! nuh huh NO!!! with big NO!" because they were marketing the Beatles a boy band essentially, but Lennon, McCartney wrote a lot for her
@@FuriKitten Very cool info...too bad they didn't sing together. I think that would have been awesome 😎
@@playitagainsue she was really supposed to, the guys and the local crowd wanted it, the Gob on legs is legend i got to see her once at the floral pavilion New Brighton iirc I was young and confused, but i fell in love with her, t was between her and Kate Bush, different but both wonderful
@@FuriKitten Both great choices between Cilla and Kate. You have very good taste 😀
Something a bit off with the sound on this recording. More information? Paul wrote a few songs for Cilla (three I think, without looking it up).
That is cool. Paul did a lot of writing for other people especially woman. Not sure what was up with the sound when you listened. It sounds fine on my end...weird. Thanks Andy 😀
Dionne Warwick' accused Cilla of stealing her songs. Both Warwick and Black legally sang many of the same copyrighted Burt Bacharach songs. Warwick, who was married to Bacharach for a time, recorded them all first. Cilla so copied Warwick's style it's almost impossible to tell which of the two singers it is on a recording. This cost Warwick a lot of sales and income in the UK market and led to long feud. Mostly from Warwick..
Very interesting, Binawsy. So DW wasn't a fan of Cilla's then....the drama. I think Cilla is amazing 😀💓
😅😅😅
Did you not enjoy this one?
The great Cilla! Btw...she dated Ringo!
Did she?! Very cool fun fact, Gil. Thanks for that 🤩
There's another black & white video on here of Cilla Black singing this same song only much better. More stronger and powerful sounding. It's dated May 1, 1964. And I like that one much better than this one. She also sounds more like a black woman in the other one. Best singer.
Wow, Tommy that would be incredible to be even better as I thought this was amazing. If you find the link, send it to me and I will watch it. Thanks a bunch 🤩
I agree, think it was recorded at Savoy Hotel
Oops Anyone Who had a heart
You''ve got a rather muffled recording, with dull instrumentation too. There are better ones. Those violin stabs …
Cilla (real name Priscilla white!) is one of those whose first name suffices. She eventually had her own TV show for I think decades on British TV.
To be honest that was a dreadful version, sound is awful. Love love loved Cilla Black
And yet, she is still fabulous...just shows how great she is 😀
Fantastic song. I have mixed feelings because of her politics. A true working class Liverpudlian who sold her soul on the alter of Maggy Thatcher. Usual story, poor girl gets rich - and no longer wants to pay her fair share of taxes. Her demise is just as sad. All alone in her Spanish Villa. Apologies for turning the mood sour - she was no 'working class hero' as John would later say.
Wow, Winny. I had no idea about any of that. That is a shame. I know nothing about her I just came across her and heard this song and thought it was fantastic. Thank you so much for the back story though I appreciate it and thank you for tuning in and commenting 🤩
@@playitagainsue Sue, I was wrong to bring up her politics. You are a music review channel and it's only right that you highlight any music you want. She was a fabulous singer. Apologies. Keep doing your stuff!
@@winnywin no worries Winny. You had some important things to say 🤩💜
Oh Yes yes was! Unlike many British stars of the time Cilla Lived and worked in the UK and always paying her taxes here! A true Star and Legend!!
Cilla never forgot her roots, she often went back to Liverpool, and was a proud Liverpudlian until her untimely death. We in Liverpool love her.
