On August 1st, British singer and TV star Cilla Black, who enjoyed a 50-year showbusiness career, died aged 72. Championed by the Beatles, she began her career as a singer in 1963, and her singles "Anyone Who Had a Heart" (1964) and "You're My World" (1964) both reached number one. Black had eleven Top Ten hits on the British charts between 1964 and 1971.
Along with a successful recording career in the 1960s and early 1970s, Black hosted her own eponymous variety show, "Cilla", for the BBC between 1968 and 1976. After a brief time as a comedy actress in the mid-1970s, she became a prominent television presenter in the 1980s and 1990s, hosting hit entertainment shows such as "Blind Date" (1985–2003) and "Surprise Surprise" (1984–2001).
In 2013 Black celebrated her 50 years in show business. British television network ITV honoured this milestone with a one-off entertainment special which aired on 16 October 2013. The show, called "The One & Only Cilla Black", featured Black herself and was hosted by Paul O'Grady.
On August 3rd, Patty paid tribute to the entertainer and posted a message on her Facebook page:
