Cilla

Overview

Cilla Black is one of Britain's best-loved entertainers, and an icon of the sixties. Known to one generation for a string of number-one hits like "Anyone Who Had a Heart" and "You're My World," and loved by another for hosting the classic ITV show Blind Date, Cilla has come a long way from hanging coats in Liverpool's Cavern Club for five bob an hour. In Cilla: Queen of the Swinging Sixties, Douglas Thompson traces her rise to the top, her heart-warming marriage to Bobby Willis, and the profound effect his death had on her. This affectionate biography is a fitting tribute to 50 years in show business for "our Cilla."
