Feeling self-important she refuses to let Brian sign Bobby as a singer in his own right, claiming that she needs him to look after her. Cilla records the film theme "Alfie,"' though she is derogatory about the title, as a means to break into the American market, but a trip to New York to appear on Ed Sullivan's TV show with Brian--who still seeks young men to rough him up--and Bobby does not yield immediate success and an impatient Cilla demands that they return home. Throughout the 1960s Cilla will continue to have hit records before turning to television, and the loyal Bobby will always be with her. They are together when they hear of Brian's suicide in 1967, two years later they marry, and Bobby will be Cilla's manager until his death in 1999. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
