    One song Alfie.
    Compare that to Dionne Warwick.

    Would've been lucky that black & white TV was around then, let alone Youtube! <laugh>

    Cilla Black was a respected artist loved by many.

    Few people transcend two genres and are successful in both.....whatever said here....I believe that shows talent....a great singing voice in her youth and a naturalness in front of the cameras coupled with a genuine love of people. I agree with 999s....the loss of her hubby was probably too much for her....real respect for a lady who I feel I have known all my life. RIP.

    There was the public persona which gave her (as Bruce Forsyth said) the "common touch" ... but if you were one of the "little people" working in the industry she had absolutely no time for you and treated you like sh!t.

    Mind you, that could be said for many, many actors/singers/entertainers.

    You think I'm that stupid Sku? Actually, don't answer that...
    She was in love with him years after too. Apparently he used to sit at the end of her bed at night and talk away to her

    I'd heard that too, from a couple of sources. Still, I guess it's wearing when everyone wants a part of you, as they did in the 60's and 70's.

    Hugely talented, and I admired her ambition, professionalism and the fact that, when all around her were failing in their personal lives, she had such a good marriage.

    I should imagine that's what most us do in life....try to make the best of what we've got.
