Absolutely stunning. Cilla was fabulous

[stephenpowers]

Wow. Cilla's delivery is so nuanced, subtle. She didn't just sing really well, she knew how to... I can't think of a better word, how to inhabit the song, the stage, the camera, the audience. One of our very best. Thanks for sharing this.

I didn't really remember her much when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. You'd hear the name here and there. But thanks to Youtube we get to get introduced and reintrouduced to incredible artists from yesteryear. Now I'd call myself a fan of Cilla Black. Her voice is so unique and powerful.

From Spain, RIP Cilla, who also died here in Estepona (Málaga). For me, the two best voices have been Nino Bravo (1944-1973) and Cilla Black (1943-2015). I never tire of listening to their records, these two angels with their wonderful voices, well deserve it. A pity that they are in the memory, but they have left a magnificent legacy. Eternal Nino and Cilla. Forever Nino and Cilla.

Very distinct voice. Although the vocal
Color isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It sets her apart from other singers. I love her sound because it’s so distinct

[martinpensom]

[johngosnell]

Class, charm and talent- that’s why years later still a classic- where as todays female singers are forgettable!

[pattibrooks]

Always have loved this song ! I thought it came out in 1967 but guess I was wrong ! I heard it on the radio in 1967 but I cant remember if I heard it in 1965 or not on the radio but they played the song alot in 1967 !

The Beatles were also on the show that night it was taped on 8/15/1965 aired on 9/12/1965 on the Monday night after they taped the show Ed introduced them fro their concert at Shea stadium

[naylorbroughton]

She should have been huge here in the know she made it big on Broadway but such a talent

[popcornbytesrd]

There’s actually a statue of her right outside a club in Liverpool where she use to work. It’s called The Cavern. Yeah, that one.

[DCGuy]

Great performance. Interesting she made up her own lyrics starting at 1:09. I wonder if it was intentional? Here are the original lyrics:
Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right

I must think of a way
Into your heart
There's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head

[herbredholtz]

Ironically, her real name is Priscilla White.

[williammcconnell]

Ok cilla was vever close to my ❤
And all of my life and wa a lady
She was

[tennispro]

I read some comments knocking Cilla as a 2nd rate singer on other songs recently put on YT....those guys haven’t seen this one yet. Or they would retract their statements

[mrfester]

Like a lot of her performances, she starts out sounding like not much at all then, she turns a corner and BAM! She has such power and control and such a distinct intensity that you can't ignore her.
She had an interesting start as a singer. She started out as the coat check girl at The Cavern in Liverpool. Her given name was Cilla White. She was working there when the Beatles were discovered by Brian Epstein, their future manager. Epstein heard she could sing and got her a record contract and changed her name to Black. He thought it was more provocative!
Epstein had a whole stable of musical talent that he managed but he only really loved and cared about the Beatles and Cilla Black. Like he did for the Beatles, he lavished his personal attention on her and took care of every little detail of her career for her.
I find this all very interesting.
