OT: Cilla Black

Recommended Posts

I remember Cilla playing at the Rollerdrome Cromer. Her backing band was the brilliant Sounds Incorporated who opened the  show. They went down so well that when Cilla eventually started singing there was some disapproval from a few clowns at the back of the hall who started heckling. Cilla abruptly stopped the show and said to them......"If you lads at the back don''t like the show, go see the management and ask for your money back. Get it in shillings, go home, put it in the meter and then gas yourselves". Needless to say it shut them up and she carried on with a brilliant performance.Cilla with Sounds Incorporated (2.00 mins)............https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjPBDLWxOMI[:)]

Good to watch that, good set too with the old sax players on the upper level.

Yes, a true legend from a magic era. Had the pleasure to see her perform some years back in Great Yarmouth, she was terrific. Great lady.....
