- 1987 (One of Shirley's signature songs! Shirley performs in Berlin celebrating the city's existence for 750 years)
ABOUT this song:
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.[1][2] 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. While in exile Bassey recorded several songs that were exclusively released in Italy and also performed frequently on Italian television.
In the next step in the evolution of "La vita," Newell wrote English lyrics for the remaining Italian parts and the result was "This Is My Life." This English-only version became one of Bassey's signature songs, often the final encore that she performs in concert.
LYRICS:
Funny how a lonely day, can make a person say:
What good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart, can make me start to say:
What good is my life
Funny how I often seem,
to think I'll find never another dream In my life
Till I look around and see,
this great big world is part of me
And my life
This is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me
This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live
Sometime when I feel afraid,
I think of what a mess I've made Of my life
Crying over my mistakes,
forgetting all the breaks I've had
In my life
I was put on earth to be,
a part of this great world is me
And my life
Guess I'll just add up the score,
and count the things I'm grateful for
In my life
This Is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me
This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live
This is my life
This is my life
This is my life

Born dirt poor in Tiger Bay, Shirley Bassey earned the right to sing that song and no-one on the planet can sing it with the passion, emotion and conviction that she does. The best singer in the World.
Agreed, I've been around long enough to hear the best of the rest.
Shirley is IMO, numero uno. 😄
In Germany, many applaus there...., Her voice is unique....❤❤❤
I'm 68 yo and I've never heard Ms Bassey sing. I have heard her name countless times though. So today was the day and OMG what a stunning beautiful woman and voice! I just can't stop saying OMG!!!! What have I been missing all these years but always time to make up for lost time.
Hi Jerry7311 - Your reaction is pretty much the same as so many others who have stumbled on to Dame Shirley Bassey and her 7 decades of music. I've uploaded over 930 clips of both live and studio recordings from this great lady of music. Her first number 1 was in the late 1950's and her last album that came out in 2000 was a top 10 hit. This resulted in Shirley having at least one top 40 hit over 7 consecutive decades. It's about the unique VOICE, along with the way she interprets the songs she sings.
OMG!!! Dame Bassey has the most amazingly powerful voice I am glad you have discovered her. I grew up listening to her. She sang 3 James Bond songs because she is so fabulous. I bet you have heard "Gold Finger".
These young hiphop singers and "artists" would not recognize a Goddess, even if she's standing right in front of them. Im so glad I lived in a time when singers were still grand! and music had stories.
She's not just singing, she's telling a story.
This lady is a gift to mankind! A gift that God gave us all! !!!!!! Unique and fabulous! !!!!!
And this was done with NO earpiece as well..This is what a true performer IS!!!!
she sang this song after havng a row with her husband about him emptying her bank account, YET AGAIN, and this song made her mind up to leave him, THE BEST MOVE SHE EVER MADE.
Thank you. But of real news. Appreciate it. Sad though 😓
Greate Move from Shirley thanks, I dhid not no, this Storry 💗❤
So sad end Creul Blessed Dame Shirley 💗❤💗
Well after.having 2 illegitimate children, 1 not by him whilst married to him, what do you expect. Either way shes Queen.
Allways have more than one account!!
Only Shirley can sing this song with so much intensity and passion because she is truly celebrating her life with this song. The sophisticated German audience recognized it and gave her a well deserved standing ovasion.
I. Have. Always. Loved. Her. Singing. She's. Fantastic. Love. U. Shirley
They gave her a standing what? Ovation or evasion?:)
I always get very emotional when ever I hear this song. Shirley Bassey….one of the worlds great singer and star.
Me too, but it's because of one of my favorite singers, Lana Cantrell.
Not even the great Barbara Striesand can come anywhere close to a live performance by Shirley Bassey
Barbra is a very different singer. Shirley would never sing so calmly, softly as only Barbra can. Barbra in almost every song is also powerful. But, well, Shirley sings her lungs out! No question about it. So powerful.
@@patricedecourcy4505 I agree with you. It's like oranges and lemons; both are delicious but very different.
@@rogerlephoque3704 Yes!
Absolutely agree,, Nobody
Shirley Was DARE to BE SPONTANEOUS and so AUTHENTIC ~ that what makes Her Real, people could relate to her emotions.. to Her tears on stage,
Barbra was a little ... too stiff... not to mean to judge Her, everybody is different, love her too!
Ive never seen a singer put so much emotion into a song. I think that is what makes the performance great. Anyone can sing on key if they try, but it's the emotion that makes it a performance and not just a vocal track.
I remember the Bond movies...I loved her singing...gorgeous woman and artistic talent...
2020 and still listening.
me too
of course
Always!

For me she's the best of all time. There are songs that I heard before but her interpretation of the songs made me feel the message of the songs.
Not many can sing like that women
Shes my forever idol. The songs of yesterdays.
Completly agree with you 😉

A maior cantora do planeta ❤
Shirley should have 100 million subscribers. Give her some love ❤ She is all that and more! Sydnie Christmas is next. Don’t miss out!
My Father was a huge fan of DSB, I forget how many albums he had and how many times he saw her perform in his lifetime but every time I hear her sing I think of him. Love you Dad xxx
This lady singer is my favorite singer ever...No one sings with every fiber of her body, so passionate, what a voice and what a performer...One of a kind
Barry: You are right on! Bassey has it all. Her vocals are fluid, and she can sing both softly as well as belt to the rafters. In addition, Bassey's vocal range in belting voice is remarkable for a mezzo-soprano. Her high register is the same as Streisand, but she has the ability to hit those lower rich notes, again with absolute fluidity. Today's pop singers get 100's of Millions of youtube views, even though they don't have, & never will have the whole package. Today, doesn't matter!
Absolutely perfect..one of the most beautiful voices ever.... amazing
She was the best in the 70's and always will be till this day Nobody had a voice like Dame Shirley and she also acted out the song to the nine !!
This particular performance is life changing never have I seen a singer sing a song with all her might. Her body, soul were expressing powerful emotions!
This is her life and Why Not she's just so beautiful and brilliant well that's our own Shirley Bassey and she is just the Queen of Wales and she always will be loved by the great Welsh People and Why NOT. Bhirley Sassey. How great is That and what a beautiful Star ⭐️She will always be loved by her beautiful Fans. The Greatest Queen of Wales.
The emotion is priceless, the vocals is untouched, she's one of the best artist performer I've ever known.. Jus wow😍😍👍
What a beautiful lady. She gave her best. Proud of you. 😘 Thank you for the. Music. 🎶
Today, it's more about a unique trait to ones voice or a style to singing a song, which usually narrows the type of songs the singer can sing. Those with exceptional voices, like Bassey, can sing just about anything you hand to them. Again, today, it doesn't matter. Bassey is certainly one of the last few of the last generation of the great vocalists.
She is a real legend! Nothing compare to new female singers!!!
Never heard this song before, but they played this at my Grandmother funeral last week..Shirley was her favorite singer.
She’s the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. So difficult to imitate, unique in her style and techniques. Nobody could follow her footsteps in singing… the only one and the last one…very stunning…awesome and phenomenal…I love most when she sings low low notes…
My first exposure to this lady and her voice was in NYC while visiting my uncle. I was 18 and at 63 she is still in my life. What a wonderful, wonderful entertainer and hearing her sing brings chills to me and makes me so very happy.

You lucky guy, you!
Wow i wish she can perform here ni the Philippines i really gonna watch it Bassey has a very powerful voice, watching on uTube cebu, Phil.
@@rebeccacalma4942 She is simply the best! Beautiful, elegant, classy and with a voice beyond belief. Perhaps, the greatest performer/entertainer in our lifetime.
From the beautiful, tranquil Islands of The Bahamas 🏝️🌅🏖️🇧🇸
I love this woman and her music. She is THE ONE!
When her daughter died as a teenager, found beneath the Bristol Bridge just a few short years before the tapping of this concert, that might be a reason.
I believe this was one of the first concerts she did after that, she lost her voice due to the grief and it took about 2 years to get it back.
She's not only singing or interpreting songs she tells her stories to us....love the songs so much!!!
She is a Diva, star, wonderful , unbelievable voice and interpretation.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
EXTRAORDINAIRE ..... MAGNIFIQUE ..de la France ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Wow what a voice! She sounds exactly the same live as she does on her records. Incredible! What a gift.
Memories. Beautiful😉. 3/20/2023. Jo-Ann. America
Shirley Bassey gives you goose bumps, she is breathtaking
such a small woman with such a big voice you are amazing
Una delle più brave e talentuose cantanti di sempre. Una voce perfettamente educata, potente e precisa, non ha quasi bisogno di microfono.
I wish there was a video of Lana Cantrell singing this, but Shirley is absolutely one of the best. Even though Whitney's belting is the most beautiful tone ever, Shirley has a special way about her and she just has to sing one word and I burst into tears.
She sings with so music emotion and passion. She is awesome!!!
She was the greatest performer on stage fabulous vocals ...
is the greatest she is still alive and well
Michalle Nison yes i know ..still alive but I'm sure she stepped away last year final performance. .
The ultimate voice, the ultimate performer, the ultimate STAR.
ATTENTION: Dame Shirley Bassey will be appearing at the 2013 Academy Awards Show In Hollywood on February 24th. She will perform for the 50th James Bond anniversary celebration! Wonderful News! Bassey is herself celebrating 60 (Diamond) years in Show Business, starting back in 1953.
She's a world class performer ever!
Shirley had such power in her voice for a small lady and still does at 85!! A miracle. I love her expressions as she sings
Every song, every performance moves me to tears. Perfection.
This singer sings with fantastic voice. She knows emphasis, low and high tones are handled perfectly and what id important she captivates the audiences as there is soul-spiritual ties to her rendition of the song.
The best voice in the world !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So much in love with her voice i thank god for giving entertainer ms shirley bassey
I was fortunate to see Shirley Bassey at The Sheffield Arena and her voice was amazing it has tremendous power it stunned the audience into silence.

@@karenebarclay834 I'm sorry for you, and wish you all the very best from Northern Germany. Lol :)
I have put this on full volume to get the full impact of her fabulous voice. Great performer who acts her songs & sings from her shoes.
Shirley's voice is absolutely out of this world I could listen to her over and over again and again,it is so powerful and the expressions on her face tell the story her eyes are beautiful,she is gorgeous
Shirley has been a top performer since the 60's ! She acquired international fame through the James Bond films for most people who had no knowledge of her existence. They sure missed a lot of her past excellent performances. Deservedly now Dame Shirley Bassey !
The best story teller..my favorite singer who puts a lot of emotions into her songs..
This is the song sang with so much conviction only by Madame Shirley Bassey.
Shirley Bassey doing her heavy hitter classic "This Is My Life" always incredible to experience, great singer came to LA lots 70's-90's and miss those wonderful times, so glad many of these great clips survive and play them often...
Shirley Bassey the best of all time we 💕💕💕 you.🎶🙏💎💎💎😎❤️🥰
The legend that is Dame Shirley Bassey , the finest singer in the world . Dame Shirley’s vocals are superb , her interpretation of the lyrics coupled with the passion & emotion she delivers makes her irreplaceable. Long May she reign .

I think I was 6yo when I learned about Shirley Bassey and 007 Movies - her songs made me love music.
Flawless as always. I was lucky enough to catch her show in Las Vegas twice. I’m so glad I had the opportunity. She was and still is wonderful.

What a great performance... im still amaze with her singing techniques! Superb
I came back here for the first time in a long time. Just an amazing and epic performance. I feel her emotions and the power in her voice still shakes me.
She didnt need merchandise or marketing, she sung it like it was the first time every time. you don't see her covering one eye paying homage to any scumbags either, because this girl had power.
Shirley voce foi agraciada por Deus! Esta voz é simplesmente maravilhosa, gostosa de ouvir!
