My Take
Cilla Black was right at the molten center of the 1960s British pop explosion, championed by the Beatles and topping the UK charts twice in 1964 with Anyone Who Had a Heart and You're My World. What earns my deepest respect is her second act, reinventing herself as a beloved television presenter and becoming a genuine national institution, capped by an OBE in 1996. Few entertainers manage to stay on the front line across decades and formats the way she did. Her passing in 2015 closed a remarkable run, but her warmth and longevity make her, to me, a true British treasure.
