There is no one like her! I was lucky enough to see her in the '90s, and she sounded just as powerful then as in this 1969 performance. She just oozes that emotion! You can see her crying at the end. Wow!! The Goldfinger lady! Just incredible! 😍💜💜
Shirley is a treasure. What a marvelous voice and so very beautiful too. Wales is home to some of the world's most beautiful and powerful voices in music.
Why am i just finding out about Miss Bassey? Oh my gracias GOD 😭 its 2024 and NOW I know who this amazing WOMAN is ,👠👠💄💄🌹🌹 WOW😢😮 her vocals are amazingly astonishing and indeed mesmerizing WOW😮😢 she's long before my time the woman is around 87 years just a couple of years older than what my mother would have been if she wwre still here in 2024 WOW i am so glad i found out about madame WOW she was truly born to sing❤❤❤❤
Simply the best! Her new album is fantastic, lovely songs and the voice is still there even at 83!! Her performance at the Baftas last month was superb!! One of a kind!!
There is an Italian TV recording of her singing this song,( has been Deleted long time back). That version even tops this unbelievably version for raw power and emotion. The Italian version was dramatised in a TV drama on her early life.
My golly, goosepimples all over, and a bottomless admiration and appreciation for this incomparable singer, an interpreter of songs that are profoundly emotional, revealing, and totally riveting. MEGASTAR!
I don't recall ever hearing of Shirley, but I probably did see her, because I saw a lot of Sullivan shows. At any rate, a beautiful lady with a pretty voice.
Wonderful! I am surprised Sullivan didn't give her trouble over saying " damn" on his show. A few years before he didn't want The Rolling Stones to sing " Lets Spend the Night Together" and insisted they change it to " Lets Spend some time together". He also gave The Doors a hard time over " Light My Fire" . He wanted hit makers on his show but was nervous about possible controversy. Anyway, Shirley Bassey is great!
Sullivan was probably afraid of Bassey lol. When she appeared on The Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show in the UK in 1971 she kicked off in rehearsals and Eric morecambe diffused the situation by pointing to her silver lame dress and saying "Good Lord, you look like a Brillo pad!"
Ditto. However, by 1969, he had probably started to roll with the times. He adored Barbra Streisand, Cass Elliott, and Shirley Bassey and was inclined to bend for them (plus Streisand had creative control in contractual ink)...
By which I mean that she sang her vocals live with musicians or a backing track only, NO lip-synching (which she hated & refused to do even early in her career)...
Luckily experience the wonderful Shirley Bassey in concert 1970-1997 too many times to count "This Is My Life" always the ultimate performance miss those wonderful times wish they had gone on and on nobody compares...never again will see her likes in live shows
One of the best voices in History.
certainly one ofthe best singers...
FACT . In-comparable 💕
The greatest singer/ performer in History.
It's not even close.
Never seen anyone put so much into a song; amazing. One of the greats of our time!

The same happened when she sang the Lionel Richie song, Still.
Shirley is a treasure. What a marvelous voice and so very beautiful too. Wales is home to some of the world's most beautiful and powerful voices in music.
Indeed. Sir Tom Jones, Ms Bonnie Tyler are right up there.

Thank you for sharing! 🎄💖
What a powerful performance! Shirley Bassey has an incredible voice.
the Great Shirley Bassey....one of a kind....
She is so subtle! Only joking...I love Shirley!!
I have just said that she should put more emotion into it and deliberately not said "only joking" to see if anyone misses out dry humour :)
That was a powerful performance! 👏 👏👏👏 She did a great job!
None better than Shirley in my 66 year life. Loved her since i was a teen.
this song is one of the beat songs ever recorded
there is no other bassey and never will be
this song to me is an anthem
One of the best performances I have seen. I have watched this since the seventies . Every time is like the first time. Shirley blew me away
Tout à fait d’accord fantastique
America had a lot of famouswomen’s singers, but UK had fabulous Shirley Bassey one of the best.
No matter how many videos i watch the Ed Sullivan, This is my Life will FOREVER b my FAVORITE! SOOOO POWERFUL! She was just a Baby!
This is the best version Shirley has sung hands down...to watch and listen always leaves me in tears and a lump in my throat...
Now that is a Performance in every sense of that term ❤
The best songstress
The Dame Shirley Bassey The only DIVA
So Beautiful and Gifted! My father and mother loved her and now I hear and see why!
Simply the best! Her new album is fantastic, lovely songs and the voice is still there even at 83!! Her performance at the Baftas last month was superb!! One of a kind!!
Estos son los artistas que perduran en el tiempo......ella nos dejo un gran legado.......Grande Shirley Bassey..........
She puts all of herself into this song.
Absolutely incredible performance, there is no one else like her, she doesn't just sing the song, she feels every word and emotion.

Straordinaria, unica...💕💕💕
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Noi non ci vediamo mai.
Per questo le parole sono tante per riflettere su qualsiasi cosa.
Se avessi fatto il filosofo sarebbe stato meglio.
Unerreicht bis 2021.....! bis 2024 !!!!
I really feel Dame Shirley should put a little bit more emotion in her performances......
Never appreciated her at all. What a mistake that was. AWESOME
She never sang a song exactly the same way
Read it,america, and weep. Shirley is ours. Not yours.
So we’re the beatles stones beegees
Also best lipsync ever 😊
There are a few of Judy Garland’s moves here. Judy died 113 days before this performance. This is textbook drag queen.
