Pop singer Cilla Black is as much an institution in Great Britain as Barbra Streisand or Carol Burnett is in the United States. She is, quite frankly, the mother country's most beloved female entertainer.
Black came out of Liverpool in the sixties and knew the Beatles, and John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote many songs that she recorded exclusively - "It's For You," "Step Inside Love," and one or two others the late Michael Jackson probably didn't realize he owned. She also recorded covers of Righteous Brothers and Burt Bacharach tunes.
She was also the star of her own BBC television series, "Cilla."
