For some reason, Cilla Black was never as big in the US as she was in the UK. Strange... She had quite a career, and was certainly (IMO) the equal of any of her contemporaries.

I remember - I think it was back in the '70s - that Helen Reddy also recorded "You're My World" (which, incidentally, was originally an Italian song). Very close to Cilla Black's version, as I recall.


Signor V.


"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
