Andaman Al Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) RIP Cilla Made me shed a tear just now. Not really for Cilla as I never knew her but for my Mother who used to cuddle me when i was aged 6 in the kitchen when she would sing an almost pitch perfect rendition of Cilla's original song Alfie, by Bert Bacherach. Gosh I never thought listening to this song (and there must be a few more) could invoke such emotions. For that I thank you Cilla, I hope you've hooked up with the one love of your life Bobby.

wooloomooloo Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 RIP, Cilla. She didn't appear to have any discernible talent as such but made the best of what she had. Her singing voice was akin to listening to an air-raid siren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freebyrd Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 RIP, Cilla. She didn't appear to have any discernible talent as such but made the best of what she had. Her singing voice was akin to listening to an air-raid siren. I would rather listen to Cilla than a good deal of this modern rubbish that's all machine mixed. When these modern 'stars' sing live, their lack of any real talent is painfully obvious. That said, one mean's meat..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Sad loss. Obviously differing opinion but you have to acknowledge the success. I saw her live at the Adelphi in Slough in 1964 along with several of the contemporaries, her and Lulu certainly didn't appear to the brightest stars in the bunch.

Stupooey Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Nice words about Cilla Black from Bruce Forsyth....................."Why does the real talent have to die so young".................... Perhaps Brucie was being a tad sarcastic, After all she was 72, whereas real talent tends to die at 27 (Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Cobain, Winehouse etc.).

Your one-liner made me laugh and was very much appreciated. Cillas voice didn't last as long as her peers but her sense, personality & great management enabled her to maintain her place as our premier all round entertainer. This thread is testament to the esteem in which she is still held, a full half century after first bursting onto the scene.
