2002 (Shirley's appearance on a BAFTA James Bond Tribute Show - Performing these two theme songs decades after her original recordings....The Dame's still got it!) ABOUT the song, Goldfinger: "Goldfinger" was the title song from the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger. Composed by John Barry and with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, the song was performed by Shirley Bassey for the film's opening and closing title sequences, as well as the soundtrack album release. The single release of the song gave Bassey her only Billboard Hot 100 top ten hit, peaking at number eight; in the United Kingdom, the single reached #21. In 2008, the single was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Upon being asked to create a theme song for the film-in-progress, Bricusse and Newley looked at each other instantly and sang out, "Goldfinger . . . wider than a mile," reprising "Moon River," the successful theme song from Breakfast at Tiffany's. Originally, Newley recorded the song, but it was re-recorded by Bassey with George Martin and Jimmy Page as a session guitarist. Newley's version was later released in 1992 to mark the 30th Anniversary of James Bond on film, in a compilation collector's edition: The Best of Bond...James Bond. The release on vinyl of Bassey's version sold more than a million copies in the United States (Guinness Book of Records)[citation needed], and it also reached number one on the Japanese charts and the top ten of many European countries.

1982 (Shirley Bassey hosted a 'Summertime TV Special' back in 1982 and in this clip she performs two songs from her 1982 LP titled, 'Shirley Bassey - All By Myself.' The first song is a cover of Melissa Manchester's hit, 'Don't Cry Out Loud' and the second song is the title track of Shirley's LP 'All By Myself'. This song was a huge hit for another amazing/great vocalist, Celine Dion. Note on Don't Cry Out Loud: Shirley was first offered the song, 'Don't Cry Out Loud' but she turned it down thinking it wasn't her type of song. She subsequently regretted her decision, as it was a huge hit for Manchester, Elkie Brooks (UK), and Rita Coolidge had some radio play with this song in Japan, each recording with a different arrangement. Hits aside, Shirley's vocal range, including high register notes are unbelievable, and her vibrato on the last note....ALLLLLLL...is simply spine tingling. Please...no comparisons...just enjoy! Notes on All By Myself: Celine Dion loved Shirley's recording of 'All By Myself' which gave her the inspiration to record it herself. Shirley performs the song closer to the music originally written, but when Celine decided to record the song, her musical directors added some extra falsetto musical score into the mix, which I personally think is great. It transformed this song into something new, and thus translated into HIT! Shirley is one of the very few of the older generation who has the powerful pipes to sing the song via the newer arrangement, of <b>...</b>

1957 (Teenager Shirley Bassey recorded this song as one of the tracks on her 1956/1957 & first LP titled, 'Shirley Bassey - Born To Sing The Blues.' Shirley's first recordings were in 1955 & 56, and a few of these songs became singles, such as the song, 'Born To Sing The Blues.' Even as a teenager, anyone listening could easily see that Ms. Bassey had a huge voice waiting to happen. Over the years Ms. Bassey's voice has only gotten stronger, and in 2013, She will be celebrating 60 Years in the Music Industry. Most people will recognize Bassey for her three James Bond Theme songs, 'Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker' but it is her Huge/Powerful voice that has allowed her to crossover into many different genres of music, which as a result has kept her at the top of her game for almost 6 decades. Dame Shirley's latest POP CD, 'The Performance' was released in 2009. To this day, Bassey is still the largest selling female artist from the UK with over 140 Million records sold worldwide. ABOUT the LP, 'Shirley Bassey - Born To Sing The Blues'Born to Sing the Blues is Shirley Bassey's debut album, released on a 10" LP in 1957 by the Philips Records label. Long-playing records were newly introduced in the mid-1950s and the 10" album was briefly introduced as an album format. Within a few years the 12" album was the format offered to the record buying public, remaining so until the mid-1980s when the Compact Disc took the market by storm.

1962 (Young Shirley Bassey recorded this wonderful track on her 1962 LP titled, (Shirley Bassey with Nelson Riddle, 'Shirley Bassey - Let's Face The Music' - Shirley started show business back in 1953 as a chorus girl, before shortly thereafter beginning her tremendously lucrative carer as a recording artist. This year (2012), Dame Shirley will be celebrating 59 years in the business. She is still performing and recording, and her last CD a few year back was a hit for her. LP Review by Bruce Eder: Bassey's fourth EMI/Columbia album is regarded as the magnum opus of her pre-Goldfinger career, bringing her together with conductor/arranger Nelson Riddle. (Ironically, it was Riddle's still being under contract to Capitol Records which prevented him from working with Sinatra on Reprise at the time, that made this record possible). Riddle approached this album from the standpoint that less is more, providing elegant and subdued accompaniment that emphasized the strings. Bassey's voice comes across with a delicacy of nuance that is startling to hear, achieving new levels of subtlety on this album. One may disagree with the order of the songs -- the moodily expressive "I Should Care," reminiscent of Judy Garland at her best, would be the ideal opener -- but not with the overall content of this album. Throughout Let's Face the Music, one almost gets a sense of Bassey slipping inside these songs, becoming part of them and they her, rather than merely performing them. The <b>...</b>

1977 (Shirley Bassey appears on the 1977 Jack Jones BBC TV Show. Shirley first performs her own powerfully unique interpretaton of the country song, 'I Let You Let Me Down Again', and then she and Jack Jones performs a duet of the song, 'IF'. This song, I Let You Let Me Down Again, was recorded and released on Shirley's 1977 LP Titled, 'Shirley Bassey - You Take My Heart Away.' - This was originally written as a country song and recorded by Brenda Lee on an 1976 LP. Shirley delivers a powerful rendition to cross this country song over into mainstream POP as only she can do. Then, Shirley and Jack Jones' voices blend very nicely to deliver a beautiful rendition of the song, 'If, originally a hit by the group, 'Bread'. LYRICS - I Let You Let Me Down Again: Not the first time nor the last Love's a memory fading fast I was doing fine but then I let you let me down again Didn't want to be your clown Build me up then let me down I wanted love, you gave me pain I let you let me down again In the time it takes to say All the things I had to say You changed your mind and went away Oh why couldn't you stay. You didn't even say goodbye You didn't even cry You left me standing in the rain And I let you let me down again In the time it takes to say All the things I had to say You changed your mind and went away Oh why couldn't you stay. Not the first time nor the last Love's a story from the past And it always ends the same I let you let me down again Oh, oh, I let you let me down <b>...</b>

1978 (Verteran vocalist/entertainer Shirley Bassey recorded a great cover of This Bacharach/David 60's era classic. This song was included on Shirley's 1978 LP titled, 'The Magic Is You'. This song was originally brought from the USA to the UK for Shirley to record, but music producer George Martin (The Beatles) decided to give it to a relatively unknown artist from Liverpool, and a good friend of Shirley's for many decades, Cilla Black. This song was a top 10 hit for Dionne Warwick in the USA, in 1963, one year earlier than Black's version released in 1964. Although it wasn't in the cards for Shirley to record this song in the 60's, she has always loved it, and decided to record it as a slightly more mature artist in her 40s back in 1978. Hit or not for Shirley, it's still a great recording! I personally like both Warwick's and Black's version of this song as well. Many people don't want to see this happen, but I think a great song really can be sung/recorded by more than one artist, thus bringing each singer's personality and singing style into the song. Bacharach and David sure liked it because they have received royalties from both Warwick and Black, as well as every artist who has recorded this song for every unit sold. "Anyone Who Had a Heart" is a song written by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics) for Dionne Warwick in 1963. Warwick's original recording hit the Top Ten in the United States, Canada, Spain, The Netherlands, South Africa, Belgium and <b>...</b>

Then, Shirley performs another song, 'As If We Never Said Goodbye' from the Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical, 'Sunset Boulevard'. ABOUT Starlight Express, The Musical: Starlight Express is a rock musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber (music), Richard Stilgoe (lyrics) and Arlene Phillips (choreography), with later revisions by Don Black (lyrics) and David Yazbek (music and lyrics for the 2nd US tour).

1957 (A young Shirley Bassey recorded this Johnny Mercer / Harold Arlen American Songbook Standard back in 1956 and it was released as a track on her first LP in 1957. One of the songs from this LP, 'Born To Sing The Blues' was released as a single in 1956. Shirley has recorded & performed many genre's of music over her past 58+ years in show business due to her powerful voice & musical instincts, but jazz & the blues were among the first that she mastered. ABOUT this song: "Blues in the Night" is a popular song which has become a pop standard and is generally considered to be part of the Great American Songbook. The music was written by Harold Arlen, the lyrics by Johnny Mercer, for a 1941 film begun with the working title Hot Nocturne, but finally released as Blues in the Night. The song is sung in the film by William Gillespie. Arlen and Mercer wrote the entire score for the 1941 film Blues in the Night. One requirement was for a blues song to be sung in a jail cell. As usual with Mercer, the composer wrote the music first, then Mercer wrote the words. Arlen said, The whole thing just poured out. And I knew in my guts, without even thinking what Johnny would write for a lyric, that this was strong, strong, strong! When Mercer wrote "Blues in the Night", I went over his lyric and I started to hum it over his desk. It sounded marvelous once I got to the second stanza but that first twelve was weak tea. On the third or fourth page of his work sheets I saw some lines—one <b>...</b>

1990 (Big Band style arrangements were made for Shirley's powerfully rich voice. Bassey is the bridge between older & younger generations as she can sing and has recorded many genres of music over her 59 years in the business. This lady turned 75 this year and her voice is still as powerful as ever, and she is still performing and recording! Such a full-out orchestral arrangement would drown out most singers, but not Bassey. This is 'old style' entertainment at its very best! ABOUT this song: "Almost Like Being in Love" is a popular song published in 1947. The music was written by Frederick Loewe, and the lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner. The song was made popular by David Brooks and Marion Bell in the musical Brigadoon. It was later performed in the 1954 film version by Gene Kelly. The song was revived in a downbeat ballad version by singer Michael Johnson (#32, 1978). This song was also made popular by British singing sensation Dame Shirley Bassey, Nat King Cole recorded more than one version of the song. Other singers who have recorded "Almost Like Being in Love" include Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra. A later version by Nat King Cole was used as the closing song in the 1993 movie Groundhog Day which starred Bill Murray. LYRICS: What a day this has been What a rare mood I'm in Why, it's almost like being in love There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why, it's almost like being in love And the music of life seems to be Like a bell <b>...</b>

1996 (Shirley Bassey wins the "Life Time" Goldene Europa Award in 1996, and here she appears at the awards show and sings the song 'He Kills Everything You Love'. Shirley's recording of this song is the theme music for the 1996/97 German TV Show, 'Die Gang' - Both songs on this clip are from Shirley's 1996 CD titled, 'The Show Must Go On'. This ageless veteran of the music industry just turned 75 yo this past January, and her high fidelity/powerful vocals are still unbelievable. Dame Shirley will be performing at Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilie celebration in June 2012. ABOUT the Goldene Europa Award: The Goldene Europa award is the oldest German Television award[clarification needed] for artists and entertainers. It was awarded from 1968 to 2003. In the years 1989 and 2001, there were no ceremonies. Since 1981, the gala was broadcast on television. The original sculpture award for the "Goldene Europa" from 1968 is the work of sculptor Herbert Strässer. The award was originally designed with the aim of launching the careers of German artists and producers with their music facing strong competition from the United States and England. Therefore, in the early years only German-language hits were awarded. From 1979, the leadership decided to allow foreign artists to win the Goldene Europa reward. In later years, the Goldene Europa was also awarded in other areas such as comedy, entertainment, politics, sports or drama. LYRICS - He Kills Everything You Love: LYRICS: Beware <b>...</b>

1976 (Cabaret style live performance of this classic Francois / Revaux song, with English Lyrics by Paul Anka on Shirley Bassey's 1976 TV Variety Series. Shirley performs this song in the very dramatic & emotional Cabaret Style where she acts out many of the lyrics. Shirley usually takes a song written for a musical, and re-arranges it to have more of a POP flavor. But, this song is just the opposite. If there ever was a musical which included this song, Shirley's powerfully dramatic version as shown in this clip would be the epitome of how it should be sung in the big belter final act. This song for the most part has been recorded and sung by male artists, such as Shirley's ole friend Frank Sinatra going back to the early days of Las Vegas, but here Shirley the DIVA does her gender proud, and when she lifts the roof with her big belter ending, 'AND I DID IT.....MY WAY' people listening and watching will believe it! ABOUT this song: "My Way" is a song with lyrics written by Paul Anka and popularized by Frank Sinatra. The melody is based on a French song "Comme d'habitude" composed by Claude François and Jacques Revaux. Anka's English lyrics are unrelated to the original French by Claude François and Gilles Thibaut and Anka is credited as a co-composer of "My Way" because he largely re-wrote the song. "My Way" is often quoted as the most remade song in history. Paul Anka heard the original 1967 French pop song, Comme d'habitude (as usual) performed by Claude Francois with <b>...</b>

1975 (Here is an emotional, but beautifully sung track from verteran vocalist/entertainer, Shirley Bassey) ABOUT the LP, Good, Bad But Beautiful: Good, Bad but Beautiful is a 1975 album by Shirley Bassey. In the first half of the decade, Bassey recorded nine albums, with three making the top ten. In March 1975, Bassey released a compilation that became her highest-charting album to date, The Shirley Bassey Singles Album (#2), and reflects the momentum Bassey had maintained since her 1970 "comeback". Good, Bad but Beautiful, released in the autumn of 1975, spent seven weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at #13. The album reflects the formula that brought Bassey back to the charts: a combination of contemporary songs combined with her forte of standards, show tunes, and torch songs, featuring arrangements aimed squarely at the adult contemporary, or middle-of-the-road, audience. This was also achieved by modifying her backup orchestra to include electric guitars, a string and brass section with a more contemporary sound, and drumming that is more soft rock-oriented than jazz-oriented, while side two's opener, "Feel Like Makin' Love" displays a smooth jazz style. This was Bassey's seventh album of the 1970s to make the Billboard 200, peaking at #186. It also reached #54 on the US R&B chart. In the UK the album was awarded a silver disc six weeks after it was released. The original release was in stereo on vinyl and cassette. In 2005, BGO Records issued a remastered Good <b>...</b>

Shirley has recorded & performed many genre's of music over her past 58+ years in show business due to her powerful voice & musical instincts, but jazz & the blues were among the first that she mastered. ABOUT This song: "The Birth of the Blues" is a popular song. The music was written by Ray Henderson, the lyrics by Buddy G. DeSylva and Lew Brown. The song was published in 1926, and recorded by Cab Calloway in 1943 or 1944. The song was later a hit for Frank Sinatra and was frequently performed by popular singers such as Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis, Jr., Shirley Bassey, Keely Smith, Jack Teagarden and Pearl Bailey. An Oscar nominated (Music Scoring) film "Birth of the Blues" starring Bing Crosby was released in 1941. LYRICS: Oh, they say some people long ago Were searching for a diffrent tune One that they could croon As only they can They only had the rhythm soul They started swaying to and fro They didn't know just what to use And this is how the blues really began They heard the breeze in the trees Singing weird melodies And they made that the start of the blues And from a jail came the wail Of a down-hearted frail And they played that As part of the blues From a whippoorwill Out on a hill They took a new note Pushed it through a horn <b>...</b>

1990 (Shirley performs a great song from the past, which was a favorite of her idol & friend, Ms. Judy Garland) ABOUT When You're Smiling: "When You're Smiling" is a song by Larry Shay, Mark Fisher, and Joe Goodwin (June 6, 1889-July 31, 1943), and made famous by Louis Armstrong, who recorded it at least three times, in 1929, 1932, and 1956. Duke Ellington also recorded it several times earlier in his career. Many other recordings exist, for example those by Studies in Swing No.3, Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra and Patti Page. Cliff Bruner brought it to the country charts in 1939. And also Nat King Cole sung it. It was adopted by Leicester City FC as the club anthem, and can be heard at many of the team's games. In 1961, Judy Garland performed the song at the Judy at Carnegie Hall concert. Shirley Bassey performed this song, live, many times during the late 70's through early 80's as a tribute to her idol, and friend, Judy Garland. Dean Martin also sang it, sometimes parodying it as "When You're Drinkin'". LYRICS: When You're Smiling When you're smiling, when you're smiling The whole world, smiles with you. When you're laughing, when you're Laughing The sun comes shining through. But when you're crying, You bring on the rain. So stop your sighing, Be happy again.

1971 (Veteran vocalist/entertainer Shirley Bassey delivers an emotionally uplifting cover of one of Simon & Garfunkel's biggest hits on her 1971 LP titled, 'Shirley Bassey - Something Else' - In my opinion, this song is a musical POP masterpiece which people hundreds of years from now will recognize and want to listen to! ABOUT This LP: Something Else is a 1971 album by Shirley Bassey. Following-up her comeback album Something, this proved to be almost as big when it too made the UK top 10, peaking at No.7. The album contained the hit single "(Where Do I Begin?) Love Story" as well as a non-charting second release "Breakfast in Bed". The success of this album and Shirley Bassey in general at this period saw a rush of compilations and older albums entering the UK charts in late 1971, with five albums appearing over the space of three months. In 1972, Bassey was the subject of This is Your Life where guest Liberace made mention of this album and in particular "Excuse Me". The gatefold photograph features Bassey wearing a chiffon catsuit. The early 1970s would see Bassey wearing some of her most revealing stage costumes, as reflected on the cover. ABOUT This Song: "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is the title song of Simon & Garfunkel's album of the same name. The single was released on January 26, 1970, though it also appears on the live album Live 1969, released in 2008.

1990 (Shirley appears on the Des O Connor Show and performs the two songs, 'This Is My Life' and 'Wind Beneath My Wings'. Shirley and Des OConnor then perform a duet of the song, 'Let's Do It' with some updated words. ABOUT the song, 'This Is My Life': This Is My Life (La vita) is a 1968 album by Shirley Bassey that was released in Italy on the United Artists label (UA 9035). Bassey had started living as a tax exile in 1968, and was not permitted to work in Britain for two years. In 1968 Bassey performed at the Sanremo Music Festival in Italy singing the song "La vita." This song was originally written by Bruno Canfora, with (Italian) lyrics by Antonio Amurri. For the song Bassey sang at the festival, the lyrics were partially rewritten in English by Norman Newell. Side one of the album included only Italian songs with the exception of "La vita" which is the version with a mix of Italian and English lyrics. Side two is an edited version of the This Is My Life album that was released in Britain and the USA, with the addition of "To Give" which was only included in this album and on a single. Of the six songs recorded in Italian on this album only "La vita" has had a CD release. It appeared on the 1994 boxset Bassey - The EMI/UA Years 1959 - 1979.

1976 (Shirley Bassey performs the beautiful Welsh Anthem titled, 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' on location at Harlech Castle in Wales. Shirley is accompanied by the Wales Male Voice Choir. Although the majority of the people of Wales speak only English, this Welsh National Anthem has never been Re-Written with English lyrics. No need....why fool around with perfection.

Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (Welsh pronunciation: [heːn wlɑːd və ˈn̥adai]) is the national anthem of Wales. The title -- taken from the first words of the song -- means "Old Land of My Fathers", usually rendered in English as simply "Land of My Fathers".

2011 (Pt 1 - 'SHIRLEY' Docu-Drama/Movie on the early life of singer/entertainer Shirley Bassey, her successful climb from Rags-to- Riches, and the issues she had to deal with to attain stardom. Glamorous Shirley - Rags? You bet! When growing up Shirley shared a bed with two of her sisters. She was one of 7 siblings and her mother all living in a very small flat. The term 'Poor' isn't the word for it; the term would be 'Abject Poverty'. Fortunately, Shirley didn't realize her family was in such bad straights, because everyone who lived around her was in the same boat! Shirley was born with raw talent, and she admits that she doesn't know where it came from because no one else in her family that she is aware of possesses such talent. Possessing raw talent, however wouldn't have been enough for someone who lived in a poor section of Tiger Bay Wales (Splott) in the 1950's to achieve show business success. I transgress, but actually stardom wasn't originally a dream for Shirley. She just wanted some pocket money and eventually saw it as a way up and out of her current existence! But, talented as she was, It wasn't easy for a mixed-race individual to get any breaks in show business in the 1950's. Shirley lucked out when one struggling agent, Michael Sullivan, heard her sing in a mens club and believed that with hard, hard work he could help her achieve stardom. This movie covers just some of the many struggles along the way on her road to show business success. Unlike many of <b>...</b>

The second song on this clip, 'Strangers In the Night' is also a track on this LP. ABOUT the LP: I've Got a Song for You is a 1966 album by Shirley Bassey. Bassey had left EMI's Columbia Label, and this was her first album for United Artists, a label she would remain with for approximately 14 years. This album and the following release And We Were Lovers were produced by Bassey's former husband, Kenneth Hume. (Their marriage had ended in divorce in 1965, but he continued to act as her manager, and for these two albums, her producer.) The album entered the UK Albums Chart at #26, but only remained on the chart for one week, and failed to chart in the US, despite her having received outstanding reviews for live engagements in New York and Las Vegas that same year, and the fact that the album was recorded in New York. It was an inauspicious start for her at UA, as none of her albums would chart either in the UK or the US until 1970 (save one EMI/Columbia album issued after she left for United Artists, most likely previously recorded material, and one compilation album).[1][2] In that year, 1970, Bassey would begin to produce more contemporary pop-oriented albums, but here in 1966, despite scoring her biggest hit with Goldfinger <b>...</b>

Visita: 70sand80s.blogspot.com , "History Repeating" is a song written by Alex Gifford and originally performed by the Propellerheads featuring Shirley Bassey in 1997. The single was released shortly before the Propellerheads album Decksandrumsandrockandroll (their only album to date), released in 1998 by Wall of Sound in Europe and DreamWorks in the US and Japan. The Propellerheads had previously worked with the James Bond composer David Arnold on the Bond tribute album Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project, where they remixed the John Barry composition "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The track is a fusion of several different styles of big beat, breakbeat and Jazz combined with the powerful vocals of Shirley Bassey. The sleeve cover, an illustration by Duke D. Jukes takes its inspiration from classic album sleeves, such as those used for the Capitol 1959 release No One Cares from Frank Sinatra. The retro style was also continued with the video, filmed in monochrome, the opening of which is themed on a TV Jazz show called Jazz 1200 and clearly harks back to the serious music shows of the 1960s. Scenes from the video shoot were included in the Divas are Forever DVD.
