- Can someone give me the number for the hair hotline because my wig has been blow back to the dark ages.
This is a woman who has been active in the entertainment industry for 65 years!!! Take that in for a second. Before Tina Turner, Patti Labelle or Aretha Franklin, Dame Shirley Bassey has been working tirelessly with both grace and class to carve out a name for herself and boy has she!! With over 135 million records sold, she is the biggest selling British female in music history!
Dame Shirley Bassey DBE, is the daughter of a Nigerian Father, Henry Bassey and an English Mother (from Teesside) Eliza who settled just outside the bay area of Cardiff, Wales then known as Tiger Bay. After regenerating this area it became Cardiff Bay. The only singer to perform more than one James Bond theme, actually 3: Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever and Moonraker. Her career began in 1953 and still going strong with a new No.5 album released in November 2020 entitled " I Owe It All To You "
It was her highest charting album in 40 years!
I didn’t know her mother was from Teesside. I’m surprised we don’t talk about her more as an icon up here
Magnificent voice. She has always been in a category of her own. No comparison to anyone. There are other greats, but she has solidified her place in history as one of best of the best. Her song interpretation, stage presence, vocal styling and showmanship has served her well in positioning her as an unmatched phenomal vocalist. When you hear her, you know it!!! God blessed her tremendously.
Do you have a favourite Bassey song?
@@popland1977 She has performed many songs that I enjoy: This is my life, All by myself, Don't cry out loud and I who have nothing. Thank you for asking
Her resonance and vocal output are OUTSTANDING!
I wonder what her vocal preservation secrets are to sound so good at 80+ years old... Wow just wow 🤔😍
I read that dramatic voices tend to age better because the vocal chords are thicker. She's also just a very healthy woman who's stayed active in the gym and looks after herself. I think she's also just lucky, I mean how many women look that glamorous over 80??
@@popland1977 That explains, thanks for sharing this showcase 😍😘 I'll be looking into her music now cause I'm not too familiar with her discography 😘
@@giulianacr2638 Great!! Some of my favourite songs she's to recorded would be Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, I Who Have Nothing, Almost There etc. I actually prefer her live performances from the 80s onwards as her voice darkened more
@@popland1977 thanks sis. I'm watching them now lol. Kiss 😘
I completely forgot,This Is My Life is also a great track by her,let me know what yo think :)
A Dame she really is. At age 81 and still strong too! Love her
She sounds great at that age.

Shirley Bassey never sung Goldeneye. That was Tina Turner’s song. Shirley Bassey’s bond songs are Goldfinger, Moonraker and Diamonds are Forever
Omg, thank you for pointing out that terrible typo!! I can't believe I made that mistake 🙈🙈
That's correct Brendan that was tina🎤..but bassey as the range
Loving that you know that reference lol
It's Goldfinger :v
Shes an absolute phenomenon! May she sing forever x
PURE CLASS. ACT!!!!! MANY MANY MORE HEALTHY AND HAPPY YEARS. 👑👑👑👑🥂🌹. JO-ANN. LAMONICA. ONEONTA. NEW. YORK. ✈️🛩🌓
I'm also late, what a powerful voice,thank you for the video I think young people like me, need to know, how a real singer looks like.
She has some great songs
I'm sure she has, she is a great example of how a woman can invest in her voice, and not on her naked body, like the way they are today (dancing half naked, performing volgar dance).
Thank you.
Dame shirley bassey is beyond amazing she's a diamond and pure solid gold, who only goes up in value and gets better each day.. long may she reign it's dsb 82nd birthday on January the 8th 🎉🎂🎈🎁🎊🎤💖🎂🎁🎁🎤🎤🔥😍😍🎉🎉🎂🎂💖
There's a video of her talking mess about Turner's rendition of GoldenEye out there too 🤣
Fink B she hasn’t got the range! 😂
Tina Turner did that song justice ❤
The best there has ever been and ever will be, the legend, Icon, Superstar only true Diva in popular music that's the one and only Dame Shirley Bassey.
The fact that she didn’t think she had a beautiful instrument is beyond me. I find beauty in power and control.
Shirley Bassey-This Is My Life 12" Single 33rpm Single Record (Disco Version) This is my favorite song of her's. Plus, her 3 James Bond theme songs she made famous.
I did glue my wig on tight, but
Now it's on jupiter :3
dame don't need no backing vocals...ever!
Ive never noticed that! Shirley has rarely ever used backing vocals in her 60 plus career. Very interesting point
@@popland1977 your welcome.. I just love it, just Dame Bassey!
DAME SHIRLEY SOUNDS OUTSTANDING AT ANY AGE!!!!! YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING 2 THUMBS DOWN!!!! YOUR JOKING!!!!! Joann LaMonica. Oneonta New York 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What an outstanding singer. Always my favorite. 🏆
Do you have a favourite song?
A true Welsh icon and legend. Thank you Shirley for sharing your gift!
I LOVE HER ! My Favorite Song Are "Love Story"
*is
Thank you so much for the commentary at the beginning of this video. I learned things that I never knew about Shirley. She is beyond legendary. It was through seeing her live where I learned the difference between just a singer and a TRUE vocalist. It was the same when I saw Miss Patty Labelle perform live. Recordings don’t do them justice. Being able to attend their performances in person will have you FEEL the power behind these voices as the thrill of their vocals fill an auditorium and penetrate your soul.
Love this comment!!
How absolutely incredible and to still have that voice in her eighties!!!!
Great video of great Welsh superstar
What an amazing diva we have the opportunity to watch... I wished the new generation experienced that! They’re just missing it out 😞
She's releasing a new album with original material this November
THE REAL IRON QUEEN!!!! SHE'S STILL AMAZING AS ALWAYS
She performed last Christmas and sounded glorious
Wow. Awesome Big Voice.
Unforgettable James Bond Songs.
Great Video.
THIS IS CALLED GIFT SHE IS WONDERFUL
VOCALS GALORE
Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, Vicki Carr, Cilla Black were all famous in their day but Shirley Bassey stayed at the top for decades longer
She had an incredible work ethic and of course her voice was so beautiful
The best female artist ever.
Do you have a favourite song?
@@popland1977 yes! Are two: i thank u for the years, and music was my first love 💓 but my favoriest Is the last
I totally agree!!
@@popland1977 THE GIRL from tiger bay 😍
Oops: my wig was blown away! This is singing with a luscious, dark and hefty sound, a class act throughout, lasting since .... decades! Most of today's singers have tiny mouse voices even with amplification! Pure Gold!
Dame Shirley Bassey didn't sing Goldeneye, that was Tina Turner
Dame Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland, Nancy Wilson, Celine Dion, these are and were unstoppable vocal forces.
Do you have an all time favourite Bassey song? ☺
So true.
Wig: evaporated.
And she's still slaying in her 80s!
I literally was just singing this is my life
It's a brilliant tune
She's in my top 5 of the best female vocalists
When all the best channels love and discuss what is really matter in music to each other.... ♥️
I hope I can be an honorary best channel 😂😉. What do you think of Bassey btw?
@@popland1977 A leyend 💞💞💞💞
@@popland1977 love your videos💞💞 there very helpful to me to know my voice and how to transforn it everyday with this cool examples of real singers.
@@lyanrivr.1840 Great!! I really appreciate the feedback
@@lyanrivr.1840 I made a video about Cyndi Lauper's True Colors. I'd love your opinion.
Shes life made voice
Great video, way more range than I ever thought. I'd love to know where many place her in comparison to the other greats. I know so little about singing, but control, support, power and pitch all seem remarkable. Surely The Living Tree is the greatest ever Bond song that never was.
She's definitely up there with some of the greats, her entire range is pretty much supported
I almost fell out my bed when I saw this. Dame Shirley Bassett is literally on the top of my favorite singers of all time,but is RARELY recognized outside of America. I'm REALLY happy that there is a whole video about her out in the world!!!
Thank you so much for such an enthusiastic response!! I agree, she's one of the greats and deserves far more recognition. Long live the Queen!
So true
Bassett ?!?! She's not a F**KING dog !! Jeeez.
DSB has such an incredible voice, there are no words to describe it. And as a lady, I who have met her, may say she is so wonderful...
Adele could never!
Let’s not compare she has nothing to do with this
Her belts are powerful, like patti labelle.
Voz numero um ❤
4:50
Great and strong voice
Legend
So talented and absolutely insane to perfection 😍🤣
I think you meant goldfinger not goldeneye
Yes, silly me🙈🙈
Welsh not Welsch gold finger not goldeneye ,,that was Tina
Shirley Bassey preciso de vc, me telefona,kkkkkkkkkk,amoooooooo...
Just wonderful
Canta muitooooooo amooooooooooo
Yeah umm if u have a wig. Glue it on lol
Just incredible. Thanks for sharing!
She's a perennial force of nature
Welsch as From Wales?
Yes, her mother is from Wales and her Dad was Nigerian. This was a major scandal to happen in Britain in the 1930s
@@popland1977 Correction: Her Mother Eliza came from Teesside, Northern England. They simply lived in the bay area of Cardiff, Wales, UK.
She needs no mic at all.
I thank Mr West for introducing me to this incredible singer all those years ago
💖😃
Name of that song at 1:38?

Perfeita!!! Sem defeito... te amo p/ sempre!!!

Many including you have rightfully corrected me. I made an error and confused it with Goldfinger. Silly me 🙈

How do you keep the music playing
@@TEOCALE thanks!
NOT PLEASANT TO MY EARS - THE UK CAN KEEP HER

Maybe listen beyond that and hear her technique, skill and artistry
Poor dear, have you seen a doctor about the excess wax?
@@Rosannasfriend Poor Poor Petal... Have you had your ears checked and heard a real singer??
