Never knew she covered this song until now. OMFG. I'm legit speechless. Dame Shirley Bassey has one of the greatest voices of any human being ever,and I thank her SO MUCH for lending her incredible voice to such an incredible song that means such an incredible amount to me and EVERYONE in the WORLDWIDE LGBTQIA COMMUNITY.
Dame Shirley should never be described simply as a singer,she's a performer and my goodness does that lady know how to perform,she blows everyone else out of the water.
Her song & lyrics is definitely a "tribute" to anyone who has hidden doubts, fear, angst, insecurities, etc ... on any level, no matter how small or grand .... making those fears melt away ♡ xo
michel j......You are SO Right......Shirley Never just Sang she Performed & interpreted the Lyrics the Way they were Witten, telling the Story with her Voice.....Bob Fox, USA
Dame Shirey ....She has all the merrits Dame in the biggest way and true sense of the word, it's says it all. an icon like we wont see,and listen to anymore. She is unique. She lives her interpretations. She can make you weep, laugh and cry.
Dame Shirley BASSEY. Wow!!!! Her most unique voice is so powerfully versatile, her musical capability is cosmically naturally commanding & authoritatively subtle with the strongest thermodynamic energy of: A. Sound (overtone, timbre, pitch, amplitude, duration) B. Melody. C. Harmony. D. Rhythm. E. Texture. F. Structure G. Expression (dynamics, tempo, articulation) - A Truly Knighted Singer of the Highest Caliber who sings with the most influential Magic of Music that she is the True Genius of the Musical World - a Gift to All Humanity
Our last living icon, it brings me to tears listening to shirley sing this,she is amazing,to know shirley is to know the true meaning of a real star ,beautiful in everyway a legend xxx
She is a real story of what music is,,,when she sing she's like tellìng a story with a sound perfectly sounded voice combined nicely with great voice....❤❤❤
Astonishingly great. I watch this from time to time to remind me what singing is. She commands every second of this song. There's no melisma; no histrionics - it's timing, power, emotion and performance.
Dame Shirley Bassey, an absolute legend, and one of the greatest voices of our time. Every song she has ever sung has been truly wonderful. I really wish I'd been able to go to one of her live concerts 💞.
My goodness can Shirley Bassey put a song over conveying every nuance and meaning in a lyric. Fabulous, one of my favourite songs from a musical. Michael Lilley
+Mason I got your meaning, Mason :D This performance of Shirley's is brilliant and filled to the brim with the life lesson that self love and acceptance is the route to true joy. I love it!
Mason......From the Broadway Show La Cage aux Follies ........The Play write was Harvey Fierstein........Anyone that knows Shirley would know this but thanks for pointing it Out for those that don't....Shirley was bigger with the Gays then Judy Garland.....Bob Fox, USA
Shirley....forever and ever! You are absolute the best singer in the world. And I will ALWAYS be greatfull for the joy you bring in to my life!!! Thank you so very, very much. With all my LOVE....your greatest fan in the NETHERLANDS ❤❤❤❤
Yes; beauty in all its forms brings tears to my eyes. Even more so now than when I first heard Dame Shirley back in the late 'fifties. Amazing gift. Thank you Shirley.
What a ridiculous comparison. Shirley Bassey can be compared to Al Jolson, corny Streisand, warbly Judy Garland or screaming Eydie Gorme. It's all about the blaring sound, BIG endings and W I D E vibrato. Celine Dion is on another level all together. As a vocalist and a voice. She and Whitney are without peer.
A unique lady, a beautiful lady, a special person, Delightful, O,Inspiring, Really easy on the eye, Enchanting, Admirable, Nobody's fool and very, very, NICE. Love you Jim x
Ela está fazendo uma performance indo além do cantar....e está dentro de um contexto de um programa que traz elementos inclusive do teatro e não só da música. Sua performance influenciou diversas divas da comunidade LGBT da época e também outras mulheres... um ícone!
You can take your Goldfingers and your Diamonds - to me, this is DSB's signature tune. (I also like the variations - the one about the giant vegetable: "A yam, what a yam" and the Arabic version: "Ayyam, wattayam" 🙂)
I wish she would live for another hundred years just so people could know the Great voice from this Beautiful Lady!!!
She truly is a singer’s singer. ❤ Shirley Bassey.

This song is an anthem for every individual.
Love her voice. She doesn’t just sing the words, she touches my heart
I wonder how many lives were saved by this song. Mine was. Stellar performance.

Dame Shirley Bassey, an absolute legend, and one of the greatest voices of our time. Every song she has ever sung has been truly wonderful. I really wish I'd been able to go to one of her live concerts 💞.
Some people are irreplaceable - but not many!. Really, she is the personification of magic and all with only some musical backing. IRREPLACEABLE.
What an amazingly expressive performer she is!
Outstanding lady and just fabulous voice and entertainer
I adore this song😍😍 I love sing it with my son, who puts his own glorious take on it🥰🥰🥰
Superb artist and superb performance
My goodness can Shirley Bassey put a song over conveying every nuance and meaning in a lyric. Fabulous, one of my favourite songs from a musical. Michael Lilley
Beautiful performance! Both The lyrics and the music is superb.
She has taken this song and made it her own magnificent !
soooo beautiful her voice is great i want the same
Quite simply, the best performance of this song, ever.
and karen mulder version
I'm not gay, but her singing this really shows you to be happy with yourself. She's is so animated, and truly and amazing performer.
+Mason curious you had to state you aren't gay. Be proud of who you are, it's the point of the song!
+James Pagliarini I was simply stating that I wasn't because the song was a gay theme song. That is why I said it.
+Mason
I got your meaning, Mason :D This performance of Shirley's is brilliant and filled to the brim with the life lesson that self love and acceptance is the route to true joy. I love it!
Mason......From the Broadway Show La Cage aux Follies ........The Play write was Harvey Fierstein........Anyone that knows Shirley would know this but thanks for pointing it Out for those that don't....Shirley was bigger with the Gays then Judy Garland.....Bob Fox, USA
What's Gay gotta' do with it??!!?? Are you in touch w/the widespread diversification amongst humans unrelated to sexuality??? You need to be.
Britain at it's very best.
Magnificent!!!!
Never surpassed... Great Lady
She's so amazing ❤️👍🙏
I truly love her

Yes; beauty in all its forms brings tears to my eyes. Even more so now than when I first heard Dame Shirley back in the late 'fifties. Amazing gift. Thank you Shirley.
Beautiful incomparable Dame Shirley Basie simply the greatest ever
That is the ultimate performance of that number. She sings like Celine wishes she could.
I agree but look at Celine Dion's performance here fully live: th-cam.com/video/-vo3x4KQG6w/w-d-xo.html
What a ridiculous comparison. Shirley Bassey can be compared to Al Jolson, corny Streisand, warbly Judy Garland or screaming Eydie Gorme. It's all about the blaring sound, BIG endings and W I D E vibrato.
Celine Dion is on another level all together. As a vocalist and a voice. She and Whitney are without peer.
Fantastic !!! .y dafs favourite !!!!
