Viva los 60's y 70's!

She still gives me goosebumps , miss you Cilla

She was very popular and had a great voice, she passed in 2015 a great loss to England. She was very good friends with the Bee Gees and interviewed them and also sang a tune with them which is on KZfaq. Thanks Harri

Love Cilla Black! Check out “Anyone Who Had a Heart”

When this came out in 1965 my sisters and I ADORED 😢this song and we decided she was EXTRA special when we found out she actually personally KNEW the Beatles hahaha

I always think of Lulu when I hear Cilla and love them both. Thanks Agnete and Harri.💞

Many years ago I visited "The Cavern" in Liverpool (where the 'hat-check girl' Cilla was discovered) and couldn't believe how tiny it was. I'm sure Cilla never needed a microphone!!! 🎙🎤 I was heartbroken when I heard the breaking news of her unusual and premature death in Spain on the late night radio. Played her old vinyl records for days after. Such a distinctive and powerful voice. 💜🎵

I loved Cilla

Originally an Italian pop song written by Umberto Bindi and Gino Paoli as a tribute to Elvis Presley's bride, Priscilla, the melody so impressed George Martin that he commissioned English lyrics for it and had his protegee Cilla Black record it. The Beatles connection comes from her Liverpool origins as it was John Lennon who urged Brian Epstein to manage her budding career . Paul McCartney wrote her debut single with producer George Martin, "Love of the Loved." It was her second single, this one, that moved her to the top of the charts. Thanks Agnete and Harri.

I was a 10 year old little girl when The Beatles visited & took America by storm. I immediately immersed myself in all things British & all things Beatle related which means I knew about Cilla Black & her rise to fame. If you were an American Beatlemaniac you knew about The Mersey beat, Gerry & The Pacemakers etc. "Anyone Who Had A Heart" is my favorite of Cilla's songs. Dionne Warwick also recorded it but it's Cilla's version that stuck with me. Btw, there was a really good miniseries about Cilla & it's here on KZfaq in 4 parts/episodes if anyone's interested. It really captures the time & the place & is very much worth watching! 💙💫💙💫💙💫💙💫💙💫💙

Adore this song and Cilla. I thank my dad for introducing me to her as a singer, when I was little she was a tv presenter with an ‘okay’ voice, but she was at her full powers here!

man - I love your reactions - straight from the heart & your pure soul... Cilla,the hatcheck girl at the Cavern when the Beatles were virtual unknowns outside of Liverpool... if you haven't already - please check out "Alfie",recorded live with Burt Bacharach & with George Martin at the mixing desk... it's just priceless art...

Good job Harry. i like your take on this song very much

Such a great song by Cilla , who I love. Great selection Agnete. ❤❤

I was a teenager in the 60s and remember Cilla very well. The British Invasion was a great time!!

We love Cilla.

Cilla was an amazing diva .. love her so much .. her song " Conversations " is my favorite by her .. rip

Cilla really knew how to deliver a song and I've always loved her voice. Many used to criticize her vocal, but you have to agree she really gave it her all. I always loved Anyone who had a heart by Cilla, no wonder to this day Dionne Warwick has never forgiven Cilla. Alice, is a masterpiece nobody sings it better, an other beautiful song, Where is Tomorrow, only reached the top 40 but a lovely song, there is a recording of Cilla singing live on Top of The Pops.

Love her.I like her version of walk on by over diones version

From the album Cilla from 1965, Cilla made this beautiful song top the UK charts and hit Number 26 in the US. The beautiful strings draw you in from the start and Cilla's amazing voice completes it. It was produced by George Martin. She was discovered by Brian Epstein at the Cavern Club and became the most famous female singer to emerge from The Mersey area. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Agnete. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Sadly I didn't become a fan until after she died but wow what a voice!!

Cilla was the cloakroom girl at the Cavern, in Liverpool, she got on stage one night, for a dare I believe, and that started her singing career.

I recommend "Something Tells Me (Something's Gonna Happen Tonight)". A 1971 wonderful hit by Cilla.

Cilla Black was one of the best vocalist of my generation :)

Black had a strong association with the Beatles in her early days. She was managed by Brian Epstein and it was George Martin who produced this #1 UK hit (which was a cover of an Italian song).

Yes Yes Yes. Great ballad

Helen Reddy also does a great cover of this song.

Thank you so much Harri Love your reaction 😊❤ British Music has been a big part af the Danish Music scene for years ❤

Classic song by a classic vocalist,what power,what range.Gone but not forgotten,I remember her television programme on a Sunday night at 9.00 pm on Trinidad & Tobago Television,(TTT) back in 1969.Well done my friend.

The original is Italian : Il Mio Mondo by Umberto Bindi, so the Mersey sound you detect is most likely the arranger/producer's doing.

She was great friends with the Beatles, this is an usual arrangement for this song. She had a Saturday night show in 1960s.

Thanks for this Harri, brilliant. Cilla was brilliant. I have a request to make, having said Cilla. I watch your reaction videos because you're genuine & really feel it. There are others on here who are obviously faking their reactions. I have an Elvis request please. This time you gave me a mountain .. there are a couple of good lives. Elvis on tour 1972 Many thinks & keep up the good work. You're the best.😢

British royalty? Pretty high praise. I know of Petula Clark but until now I had never heard of Ms. Black. I did, though, research a little more and I found a vid of her in the studio recording her cover of Bacharach and David's "Alfie". I liked that one a lot. Thanks Agnete and Harri for introducing me to Ms. Black.

so much power from a little frame, my cilla memories come from her tv show back in 1970 i was just 8yrs old then she used to either start or end the show with a song i still love by her...Something Tells Me Something

Thanks Harri and Agnete!

She was A Contemporary Of The Beatles Like Them She Came From Liverpool 2:55

There is a better version of this where Cilla sings at the Savoy hotel

I have always sung this to my boy, even today and he's 17..

Interestingly her real name is Priscilla Black

I just love this song with Petula Clark and her fantastic voice!!

Tak!

One of the best songs ever ❤

You're My World Was the winning live performance in the finale of Sing Gaiing on TV5 in the Philippines, by a 13-year-old girl, Carmela Lorzano (this was not the kids' version of the show). It's a really terrific performance and she takes it up a notch at the end, plus it is built up like a fantasy performance, she's in a princess-like dress high on a pedestal. (there's a weird intro just before with a strange magician and snow dome before and they cut to live show). Here's of the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jp6Fqcag2LHUY58.html

Hi from Belfast Northern Ireland can you please react to the verve the drugs don't work ❤❤❤

I love Tom Jones cover of this song, you should listen to it.

Hey Harri, if you haven't seen this live version, you should kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZyUpadjuKnbeHk.html I'm sure Agnete already has 😃 Then watch "Anyone Who Had A Heart" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLuooZl7sd3IdI0.html from the same performance, both with George Martin conducting. Cilla could really sing. Another song with Italian heritage sung by a British female singer is "I (Who Have Nothing) (Uno Dei Tanti)" by Shirley Bassey kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7egoNyc1LKueJc.html A UK #6 in 1963. This one came via Ben E. King and Leiber and Stoller kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9CFeLGXus2zZIk.html and is therefore great as well 💯

Real name: Priscilla White. She got her stage name due to a typo early in her career.

Loved this song, not really successfull, there were also a version of the british vocal band Guys n' Dolls, I think but I am not sure.

Terrible sound quality on this beautifully sung song.

You should have played the actual record that was produced by George Martin. It's far better than this mediocre live version that grates on the nerves.
