R.I.P.

Cilla Black.  Can't say I really rated her as a singer (although "Anyone who had a heart" was a brilliant song), and her TV shows were not to my taste, but clearly, judging from the obviously heartfelt and sincere tributes being paid to her, she was a very nice person in a industry not known for niceness, and her genuine "rags to riches" story shows what can be done if you have the determination (and a smidgen of luck).  Tarra, chuck.
