I hope someone is singing her 'The Liverpool Lullaby' RIP Cilla

RIP Cilla. So sad news.

Loved her 'You're my World' version. When I was an apprentice and went into the engineering power plant with the jennies banging away and there were no ear defenders then you could sing that song as loud as you wanted and you were great at it. The beat was just like the music. Try it

And there is a nice little interview at the end with Keith Fordyce on Ready Steady Go

Awww, I heard "Step inside love" last night, and felt sad - I love that song. I did like Cilla, although I wasn't particularly keen on the shows she did.

Do think they are going OTT with the coverage though!

I haven't really followed it much Sassy. I heard about her death on Sunday from someone else, and I haven't read much about it tbh.

It's been every time you turn on the tv or radio. I liked her, as you say, not her programmes, not my cup of tea, but it's been nearly as bad as Princess Di!

I don't listen to the radio or watch TV much really. People always seem to go a bit OTT when someone famous dies.

I do love the radio, Radio 2 first thing for a jig to get me going, then Radio 4 because it's so much more interesting.

by Raggamuffin Tue Aug 04, 2015 1:57 pm

Part of it is because of a time gone by isn't it? The natural thing is for all her old songs to be played - from the 1960s. It's a kind of nostalgia as much as anything.

Cilla Black died of a stroke after falling and hitting her head at her Spanish villa, her sons have confirmed.

The 72-year-old was sunbathing on her private terrace at her villa in Estepona when she got up, lost her balance and fell.

A post-mortem examination revealed she was knocked unconscious and died of a stroke.

Oh dear. I presume they can tell if the fall came first and then the stroke rather than the other way round. So it was an accident really which brought on a stroke. Maybe she would have had one soon anyway.

no i don`t think they can raggs

when my dad died about 26 years ago it was the same scenario as he went out the front door, we think he tripped over the dog and banged his head on the concrete that we think brought on a stroke and the part of his brain that controlled breathing shut down he was unconscious for a few days and died when they took him of the ventilator it was a little bit more horrible than that but broadly the same the doctors couldn`t say if it was the fall then stroke or stoke then fall

I suppose that if a fall caused a stroke, it would be a hemorrhagic one rather than an ischemic one.
