Cilla's performances should be an example to today's performers on Microphone technique NEVER does she cover her face by it. She also looks directly into the camera lense connecting with tv viewers.
I look forward to a DVD release of Cilla's tv performances in September 2009
Cilla has the most amazing voice and I think no one can put a song across as convincingly as Cilla can. The range in her voice, different 'styles' and the passion can't be compared to any other singer. That whole album is really great. That song is enough to give any music lover goosbumps!
my gran used to know her ma and she used to sell cilla's clothes on her market stall on great homer street market - liverpool. cilla a great singer but got lost in TV and then became a bit of a joke for her singing (think - des o'connor) but she is such a good singer. she has such a wide range and the old classics are untouchable. gotta lotta lorra respect for cilla
listen to her begin again at 2:21 and see if you don't get chills. In America, she has never been given the credit she deserves as one of the all time greats.
@maryquant1967 maybe it's because she merely interprets songs instead of writing them. Besides, the US already has Streisand, Midler and Cher even back then.
Dusty was the best, but Cilla did have a terrific voice. I wish this rendition would have more closely mirrored the original Godspell single (edited) version, but still great.
Que música bonita, ainda mais com motivos gospel, nesta bela interpretação secular desta linda mulher, este piano é envolvente e ao mesmo tempo muito bonito de se ouvir, uma música mais do que inesquecível, eterna!
This is totally brilliant!! Cilla's "Day By Day" album is a masterpiece and her interpretation of this song merged with "Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord" is stunning. I also love the fact that she sings LIVE on all these early clips - no miming as artists of today often do. LOVE Cilla Black!!
FANTASTIC to see Cilla singing one of my fave songs taken from one of my fave albums,Cill is the best one of Britain's greatest female singers.LOVE Cilla xxxxx

Just one of the best singers to come out of the 60's. So distinctive and just Cilla . . as all the girl singers wee in those days. Brilliant !
She could really hit those notes without artificial studio help like nowadays.
I actually preferred her singing live on some occasions, as opposed to to the recordings and this is one example.
She is so underestimated now as a great vocalist.

I love Cilla. She was a big star in England but never got the credit she deserved here in the U.S.

People can compare Cilla to whom ever they choose, but ultimately her voice is unique to her; full of strength and character.

I'm sorry, but this really is quite mediocre. Cilla isn't in the same class as Dusty Springfield.

@spince2 You're absolutely correct; not in the same league as Dusty, but then who was?? Still, decent.

Thank you for uploading this. I'm 23 and a huge Cilla fan. I think she's one of the most under-rated artists to have a legacy from the 60s. x
