RIP: Cilla Black

Most of my American friends won't have heard of Cilla Black, but I remember her from my childhood in London. Her one big hit in the US was the theme to the movie Alfie.

The Guardian has more on her.

This one is about the recording "Alfie."

This song was written for her by Paul McCartney. It's one of the few that he wrote for other artists while he was with The Beatles.

Just found one of her singing with the Dudley Moore Trio.
