I was in my teens when I discovered Shirley Bassey. I'm 63 now and still believes she's the the best vocalist of all time! The power of that beautiful voice will never be equaled.
I agree 100% .. a brilliant voice and a stunningly beautiful woman. Her duet with Neil Diamond is my favourite song .. it's also on YT. Regards from Whitley Bay, UK
@@angelaphillip6993 Yes, Tom Jones has an incredible voice, it is such a big, ample voice, I'm wondering what do they feed people in Wales... and Bryn Terfel the opera singer, big beautiful voice too.
My late sister Vondra totally adored miss Shirley. And this dong I had to sing on her memorial service. I will always link this song to my beloved sister. Thank you miss Bassey ❤❤❤❤ much love
This song reminds me of my parents... My father died in a motorbike accident in 1978, he was the love of my mother's life. This song would make her so emotional. ❤❤😢
As a young girl, I was ahead of my time. Classics by Matt Munroe, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones and others of that era mesmerized me. Much older now, I took a trip down memory lane last night. I began with "Yesterday when I was young" by Matt. Then I switched to Shirley, and I haven't stopped since . It's now 5:17 PM the following day, and I've been listening to Shirley since noon today. I'm now listening to Engelbert Humperdinck singing the same song Yesterday when I was young. Why am I saying all this? I just want to say thank you TH-cam: a perfect escape from politics and prime time. Thanks for a sensational form of escapism - being mesmerized by Shirley.
Hi Norma: All the singers you have mentioned are my favorites as well. I will be seeing Engelbert in concert in Beverly Hills in October. I wish that Dame Shirley would do ONE last Tour, but I certainly understand that touring the world does take its toll, especially when you are in your 80's. Regards, Scot
TH-cam really makes me happy when I find artists I have forgotten , or International singers I happen across here. And, yes, Shirley is the embodiment of so many things I have enjoyed musically during my 74 years....
When she sings, she is telling a story. I am now 53 years old and I've been listening to Shirley Bassey since I was a teenager. One Sunday I heard the song Never Never Never and I run to get my cassette and taped it. I practiced that song until I know it. The reality of that song will always live on because it was an experience being shared that most of us can attest to.
My mom loves this song but she don't know how to use smartphones after decades she now again listened to this song I just searched the lyrics that she told me that stucked on her head coz she don't know who's the singer and even the title of this song She's now 56 yrs old she's turning 57 on September Love from Philippines 🇵🇭❣️
Unfortunately... We went from beautiful songs like "Never Never Never" to WAP, which achieved best song of the year 2020. How the hell did that shit happened?!?!?
People are being tricked with fake streams and lies that rap is good... all lies and deception to brainwash people. They must wake up the the garbage lies.
Come era stupenda, perfetta, emozionante questa magica voce !la canzone ( per me sempre commovente ) era cantata da un'altra grande interprete italiana : la grande MINA ! Vi adoro tutte e due!🇮🇹🇮🇹
I just love this woman period Her face expression n the movement of her body when she sings gives you goosebumps all over.... Never will be another like her...
there will never b another shirley bassey to still have that powerfull voice at her age, she still belts out the high notes no problem, ive adored her since i was 8. lol
I worked at SAHARA TAHOE., the first big show was Shirley Bassey. I sat in the lighting booth And watched her glimmer in gold lame' singing "Goldfinger"..she came in and ordered Pie each day and asa seventeen year old girl , I was enchanted to pass the pie each day.... The year was 1968.
Love this woman since I was 13 years old. I've seen her perform this song in so many live concerts. Always touches me to the core. I often play it as a catharsis... when I need to get back to myself.
Music from my childhood...I was looking her up and 2 years before this show in 1985 her daughter past away...imagine the strength 2 years later to be on stage and sing such moving songs. I'll never forget her voice and music...one of my all time favourites.
Woooow - what a voice - what a song ... and WHAT A PERFECT PERFORMANCE! She has been and will be one of the greatest R&B voices for the last 40 years. Amazing - stunning - gorgeous - Shirley, we love you all!
Her song Never Never I dedicated to my husband for 65 years and was my childhood sweatheart I’m 92 years old outlived him for 6 years now 2024 I miss him so much with our 8 children and grandchildren ❤
Wow what a shame for all my years I didnt know of the legend til now . I had seen a Porsche commercial with one of her songs that they used in the production and wow this woman is incredible. I love her and her music. She’s original and love her music. Thank you Shirley .
No one in Italy dares to do a Mina's cover. Only you and your voice could have done a good job. Beautiful cover. Brava and thanks for taking it to England.
Hi Arnaldo: I would not classify this as an official cover. Yes, the melody is the same, but the lyrics have been completely re-written in English. The original songwriters signed off on this, and are listed as the songwriters for both the Grande Grande Grande (Italian) and Never Never Never (English) versions. The English version was a huge hit for Shirley on several continents.
@@sas9023055 Carissima Dame Shirley.. I have too much respect for you as a woman singer and an artist. But I'm afraid yours is a cover...official or not is your own version from an original Italian song, hence a cover!! I even disagree when said that it has rewritten in English as some sentences are exactly the right translation from Italian. As for another example: Dio come ti amo it's another cover. Nothing wrong with the covers. And I'm sure the writers and Mina agreed to let you do your own version because of who you are and your voice hence sure it would have been an international hit. They would have refused to give it to Sandie Show or Petula Clark so to speak. Be proud of your cover...us Italians we are, still with much appreciation admiration and love.
She was going through a lot when she sang this song because of her husband accusing her of things that never happened, how she got through singing this I don't know .
E' sconvolgente il volume della voce di questa donna che riesce a cantare il pianissimo lontano dal microfono e a tenere note basse perfette. Una cantante vera! Qui siamo al livello di Mina, di Milva e pochissime altre cantanti.
Shirley used to stay(on a regular basis) at the hotel where I worked (The Dorchester) She heard (through her secretary) that four of us were going to her concert at the Albert Hall.We were up graded to first class(front row) seats,and were invited to meet Shirley backstage after,including champagne and canapes.Off stage Shirley is very normal,trainers,jeans,sweat shirt,bobble hat and sunglasses.You would't really give her a second look. Altogether a great artist,and a wonderful person.
Dame Shirley. Many people try to emulate you. Your singing and personality is so wonderfully unique, that there will never be anyone like you, ever. There will never be another one like you.
This is a beautiful song Shirley bassey is a beautiful lady I went to a concert of hers and my mom loved her music my mum has passed away but she got her wish to see Shirley bassey I am so glad she got to see her she was brilliant I loved the concert she but on 💓
Nice Voices.It makes me Feel Younger & its Recall During The Times Together with my High School Friends & ClassmatesWhat A Wonderful Lifes we have Shares in Happy moment & Tears we Shares.

I was in my teens when I discovered Shirley Bassey. I'm 63 now and still believes she's the the best vocalist of all time! The power of that beautiful voice will never be equaled.
I have to agree... maybe Streisand, maybe Garland too but I still think Bassey takes the top prize.
I agree 100% .. a brilliant voice and a stunningly beautiful woman.
Her duet with Neil Diamond is my favourite song .. it's also on YT.
Regards from Whitley Bay, UK
Yes, but another Welsh countryman of hers rivals her.
@@angelaphillip6993 Tom Jones perhaps?
@@angelaphillip6993 Yes, Tom Jones has an incredible voice, it is such a big, ample voice, I'm wondering what do they feed people in Wales... and Bryn Terfel the opera singer, big beautiful voice too.

As an old Italian I approve Shirley is Grande Grande Grande

It never never never gets better than this.
Long live Shirley, this song reminds me of my teenage when I study in London

Shirley, Dusty, Petula, all talented singers from the U.K. for me it's Shirley, she moves me, what a terrific voice!
Thanks for some real music, singing, and feeling Love from the heart. not the garbage today.
