Cilla Black was Britain’s greatest female Pop star of the 1960s. The down-to-earth girl from Liverpool mastered everything: heart-stopping ballads, raw Soul covers, sophisticated standards, and irresistible pop songs. And then, when her recording career had peaked, she didn’t fade away; she became the highest-paid woman on TV.
CILLA BLACK: YESTERDAY is the first truly comprehensive account of her complete recording legacy. Music historian Peter Checksfield (author of acclaimed books on The Rolling Stones, The Hollies, The Searchers and Jerry Lee Lewis) looks at every record she ever made, from her first demo to her final recordings, via such unforgettable hits as ‘Anyone Who Had A Heart’, ‘You’re My World’, ‘It’s For You’, ‘Alfie’ and ‘Step Inside Love’. Whether you’re a life-long fan or someone who only discovered her music via the ‘Cilla’ TV series, this is the definitive book for anyone who wants to know more about Cilla Black’s often remarkable music career.
