The debut album from Liverpudlian vocalist Cilla Black. Between 1964-71 Cilla released a series of acclaimed pop singles, although none are included on this album. (UK:5)
"Cilla show's why she must be remembered in pop history as one of the finest vocalists to emerge from England. It shows her as soulful, dramatic and stunning. Just listen to Dancing In The Street, this is a must for any Cilla fan."
"From her first album comes the hauntingly beautiful ballads One Little Voice and Baby Its You." "So good to get back to full orchestrated music and the soulful sound of our Cilla swinging to Dancing In The Street. Cilla the album is soulful and rich, a must for everyone who doesn't remember Cilla as a singer."
"Listening to these tracks makes you realise just how good and important Cilla of the 60s was."
"She can turn her hand to any kind of song and there is plenty of proof of that here. Big band swing numbers, uptempo classics and the big ballads that made her so popular."
"Stunning would understate what is a beautiful album featuring the diva at her most soulful and dramatic. Cilla is the biggest selling British female artist from the sixties and this is her legacy uncovered."
"It was interesting to hear how on Cilla she recorded two songs with a big band on Old Man River and You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To - truly marvellous recordings, as she really can swing. Also on Cilla is her version of Dancing In The Street (in the very early days of her career she was, in fact, paralleling her big ballad stuff with a lot of rhythm and blues material, which she did very well). I love Goin' Out Of My Head - she suits it perfectly and it could easily be a Bacharach song."
