Day by Day with Cilla is the title ofCilla Black's seventh solostudio album released in 1973 byParlophone Records. The album marked the end of a significant era in Black's recording career as it was her last project to be produced byGeorge Martin, who had worked on all of her recordings since her 1963 debut. It was also Black's final record released on theParlophone Records label.
Music arranger on three of the songs, "Thank Heavens I've Got You", "I've Still Got My Heart Joe", and "I Hate Sunday", wasChris Gunning.Alan Hawkshaw, later composer of the music for Channel 4'sCountdown, played piano for these songs.
