Over the years, she has had 19 Top 40 singles (including two #1 hits), sold out concert venues around the world and presented many iconic TV shows. Cilla grew up in a musically oriented household in one of the toughest parts of Liverpool. Living with her parents and three brothers, she was often encouraged to practise her singing by performing to her family. "It's no wonder that I knew I wanted to be a professional singer from a very early age, because I was surrounded by music in our house. My father played the mouth organ, my mother and aunts used to sing, and it wasn't unusual for families to get together and make their own music in the fifties." During her late teens Cilla could regularly be found escaping to the trendy clubs of the day like The Iron Door and The Cavern. Perfectly placed amongst the up-and-coming stars of the day, she wowed them with her singing and confidently convinced the powers that be to let her share the spotlight on stage. She quickly became a mini-celebrity in her neighbourhood, performing alongside legendary acts that were fundamental in establishing the "Mersey Sound", such as The Beatles & Gerry and the Pacemakers. It wasn't long before Cilla came to the attention of Brian Epstein, she was spotted while singing "Bye, Bye Blackbird" in the Blue Angel club. This performance convinced him to sign her, so on the 6th September 1963, she became his only female vocalist. There was an immediate bond between Cilla and Epstein. His faith, combined with Cilla's talent, effortlessly convinced George Martin, the renowned producer that she was worthy of signing to Parlophone Records. Shortly afterwards, Cilla Black made her debut on the British singles charts with one of the first of many songs given to her by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
