My name is Cynthia Bruce. Again I love Dame Shirley Bassey
She doesn’t merely sing a song, she performs the song. Always one of my favorites!
Amazing and best singer
Back in the 1960's and 1970's it was about the song writer, singer and performer. Many produced their own music too like Buddy Holly or Led Zeppelin. That was talent.
Today music is about a big voice, because of all these singing shows on TV. And even then their voices are no match for the likes of Julie Andrews or Shirley Bassey. Bassey's voice has personality and when she gets on a note, man, she's like a laser beam.
A belter.
When you grow up with this - you can see why modern performers seem like amateurs by comparison - no contest - this IS world-class. For real !
Most singers seem amateurs when compared to Shirley Bassey.
We say the same thing with music rap, hip-hop, R&B, etc! Elvis Pressly I heard was good!
Lot's of great singers today, if you know where to look. I guess the closest analogy today would be Beyonce. I haven't listened to her enough to tell, but I don't think she can do what Bassey could do...and I don't think Bassey could do what Cassandra Wilson does. Bassey was a broad/loud Vegas style singer with a nasal timbre and exaggerated vibrato, similar to Ethel Merman. Like Merman, I get the impression she sang unamplified a lot in her youth. Make no mistake, I still think she was great, but there are many great singers today under the radar.
Totally agree with you! No auto tune here, no gimmicks, etc.. just pure talent, singing and entertaining! You can tell it takes a lot out of her! Another great performance of hers is Talk of the Town, 1972.
@@GCKelloch LOL. ok.
SB one of the greatest singers of all time !!!! When she sings the first thing in your mind is JB movies, lol.
Best si ger in the UK, She is great ambassador for Wales and the UK as a whole.
Knowing Her for over 52 years I never seen a songstress that is able to incorporate dramatics in her Performance; I don't think I ever will.
To any students of performance, this is what you call, your actual masterpiece.
Chuck you ain't lying. Listen to this one one mo'gain !
Beautiful woman wearing my favorite color.
The best female singer ever to grace the stage. Phasing, articulation, raw emotion, sensuality. The full package. God bless her.
Yes, but Streisand
Nancy Wilson
Да, она великая певица😊
@ЗаурБорлаков-щ5г English comprehension
Completely mesmerising . No modern female performer even comes close. Shirley is in a league of her own
😆🤣
What this goddess does with her voice defies logic and comprehension. The greatest female voice of the modern age.
Dame Bassey is a singer. All of these pop stars aren't singers,they are performers.
Just Dame Bassey and an orchestra.
I love Dame Shirley Bassey
My father's favorite singer now seeing this concert I see why!!!
I can't desrcibe how many times i've come back to listen to this concert❤
I am welsh, just like Shirley, she's the greatest singer EVER
Shirley Bassey my favorite female singer known as " The Belter" for her powerful voice. I love her song "Never Never." Thanks for posting.
Got to agree with you..what a song it is!❤
The thing is she can belt out a note and in the very next breath sing a note in perfect pianissimo. That is the mark of a superb singer.
Never never is of mina.
She’s a huge star in her country and many others. She came to the United States in the 70’s looking for success here. And she never found it. I do not understand why this talent was not well received here. Always been a huge fan. Love her! And a real looker!
F A N T A S T I C ! XXX
I mean, what can you say? That is a performance extraordinaire. An earthquake of singing. What a glorious talent! One of the best singers ever.
Dame Shirley Bassey is truly first class. No wonder she sang 3 Bond songs.
i watched this tonight here in the UK on bbc2, cant beleive it was 1974, just WONDERFUL, loved every second, Dame Shirley is 86 and still singing.
Just wonderful ! Class
Absolutely her best performance in absolutely adore her
She was ..is..the GREATEST FEMALE VOCALIST EVER !!!! NO ONE CAN TOUCH HER
I beg to differ Mr . Peter's . Miss Aretha Franklin is the greatest vocalist that ever walked this earth . Shirley Bassey is one of a kind. I love her dearly. What a voice. It's like she internalize each and every word.
✨❤✨❤✨❤✨❤✨
How bout Liza Menilli compared to her
@@abrahamdave8409 the White Queen 😉
One of the most beautiful voices ever you won’t hear this from today’s women no one can compare to Shirley Basye’s voice
You know what? Shirley and I will become 40 years younger today, I'll marry her, and she will lighten up my life and sings for me every day. 😂
BEST PERFORMER OF ALL TIMES.
Michael Jackson!
She blows them all away with ease!!!!!!
I've been in LOVE with Shirley for over 65 years...
There's only ONE Shirley Bassey and she belongs to Great Britain. We here in the USA can only WISH we had somebody as INCREDIBLE as Shirley!
The greatest vocalist / performer of the 20th century. She interprets the lyrics, she lives the words. ♥️
Indeed
My God she's gorgeous !..Nobody today has that kind of power
@TheReturnofStephan1 still not the same level as dame Shirley but she’s closer than most
@TheReturnofStephan1 Jennifer doesn’t have the same power as Shirley.. she uses a lot of twang, she doesn’t have the same weight behind her voice as Shirley does or enough volume to sing over an orchestra
@TheReturnofStephan1 no she doesn’t 😂
@TheReturnofStephan1 of course 😉
You just CANNOT beat Shirley Bassey! Damn, what a songstress, an actress, and a superb entertainer. Love her! xx
This is a classic. This woman is a jewel.
She has an impeccable voice and diction. The greatness of a singer is when you can understand clearly the words they are singing. Nancy Wilson was another singer with impeccable voice clarity and diction in her performances.
Agreed as I've found a singer in the language I'm studying going on 4 years fitting what you wrote and I've compared her to Shirley and more great singers in different genre!
@@mrgivins9690 Who?
Well, diction helps understand the lyrics (which are often trite filler), but singing is really a visceral artform. Bassey was quite adept at it. I generally prefer Nancy Wilson, and Ella was the best of the best, but this concert is spectacular.
Also
Sinatra and Nat king Cole had great dictions
Sinatra? Sorry, he couldn't even be bothered to sing proper lyrics! His diction wasn't special. I loved him, but must take issue at the comment by @raquelsaenz5899
she is so powerful graceful yet featherlike. it is like she is living every single word. Absolutely marvellous!
Dame Shirley Bassey...is definitely in a stratosphere all her own...no one else can sing with the energy and emotion this lady possesses...a once in a lifetime talent.
No one can touch her💕💕💕
We are watching the epitome of excellence. This confirmed why she's been my favorite female singer. Incomparable -- that may probably stay forever. Thank you so much Dame Shirley! Also, you've done us a big favor Ms. DSkinner for keeping it online. Enjoy everyone!!
This concert was at her absolute peak of her career...don’t get me wrong...just trying to imagine roaring London...every song was perfectly performed and Dame Shirley Bassey was like a Magician to the audience...her expression, the power of her voice and the drama she puts in every song...amazingly arranged...the conductor taking notice of every note from her...the endless joy when she was greeting her fans...kissing her hands...
Just superb 🤩
I wish her, that she will never forget how much we love and admire her...what she means to her admirers...Thank you Mrs. Dame Shirley Bassey! ✨💐💖💐✨
es una gran cantante quedan pocas como ella
When you meet Shirley,over a period of years,in your work, as I did.I worked at The Dorchester Hotel,and served/met her on many occasions,and I (and the other staff) became a part of her extended family,and she treated us like that too.I went(with some colleagues) to this concert,with tickets(best front row seats) given to us by Shirley.We had drinks and canapes after in her dressing room.Offstage Shirley is an ordinary,kind,thoughtful,quiet person (with a great & risque sense of humour).I have many great memories of my time at The Dorchester (many film stars etc) but they are dwarfed by my memories of Shirley.
What a wonderful reminiscence! She truly has a God given talent
You are one very, very lucky person
How lovely!
There’s 2 British female singers who in my opinion are the world’s best. Shirley Bassey and Cleo Laine. Very different but the best in their fields
No smoke and mirrors! Dame Shirley Bassey is a definite class act. A legend in her own time. A force to be reckoned with.
yes; and she does not need all this because she is and will always be a class or her own, HER VERY OWN class. There will be noone to reach her perfectness ..... 27.12.19 ..... a voice of a century.
The so called performers we have now pale in comparison to Dame Shirley’s amazing and magnificent voice! Truly a very classy lady!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The talent is unmatched she can sing any type of songs.no auto tune no ear piece just a master giving a master class.
Makes you realize how low the bar is set for today’s performers .
BRAVO SHIRLEY!!!
Обожаю Ширли !!!!! Великолепная певица !!!!! Браво !!!!!!!!!! Россия март 2024.
The woman who follows the crowd will go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before. I love you, Shirley.👏❤️
No one bangs it out like she did. A legend.
At the absolute peak of her power..stunning..❤️
She could turn gay men straight !! Wow ..what a woman who is truly a world class vocalist who came from Cardiff , 10 miles from where I live here in Wales .
Shirley singing Never Never Never is extraordinary . Her performance and mannerism's perfectly encapsulate a woman in love with a man and all the pain and joy it brings .
Modern women could learn a lot from a real woman like Shirley .
GRACIAS ESTE SHOW TERMINO HASTA LA PROXIMA .LOS . ADORO GUE DESCANSEN C-HAO ChAO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ OPEN AT5AM GOD BLESYUO
I have loved this fabulous woman from afar since I was 3, I'm 62 now. I dread the day she won't be in the world... magnificent as always my Queen ❤
61 here my friend . Shirley is STILL incredible . To think that Shirley and Tom Jones were brought up here in South Wales makes all of us here love them so much . Not because of reflected glory but because they never forgot their roots .
@@halcyon289 yes I agree with you...
I love your songs Cherubim Shirley, It is truly inspirational and spiritually empowering...May Almighty God bless you and protect you and your family.
A once-in-a-generation voice. Whitney Houston may be a solid second to her. So glad I got to see Shirley Bassey once at a live performance.
WONDERFUL SHIRLEY
Ive been watching this video over and over again and always find myself in great awe of her performance. I adore her so much!
Same Here. : )
It is just pure magic. I have revisited it again after watching her at the BAFTAs last night .
She is simply wonderful.
Ireplacesable!!!! no one can beat Dame Shirley Bassey truly a legend, the best and the only singer with a powerful voice. Live love 💕
Hands down the best female artist of all time. So talented. So expressive in her songs. So much heart and soul. Not just a singer. A true entertainer. So damn gorgeous. I was only two when she was doing this concert but my goodness, that beauty. She’s 82 now. And I still think she is beautiful. Much love to you Dame Shirley😘
James Bond was my favorite fictitious hero as a child growing up. Goldfinger one of my fav movies and Shirley Basie with that stunning iconic voice exhilarated me over and over. Lady Basie is truly one of those special voices of a century. Thank you..........
M P As you like James Bond I was wondering if you have seen Shirley singing The Living Tree live at Royal Variety (on you tube). Although this isn't a James Bond song it certainly should have been as you will realise when you hear it, and her performance of it is nothing short of true greatness. I hope you will enjoy it.
Dame Shirley, the profound voice and sound. I’m surprised I missed this for so long. Ms. Bassey is truly amazing!
Not to forget moonraker
NO STUPID OUTFIT CHANCE ,,,,,NO WIG CHANGE ,,,NO ASS CHANGE .....ITS ALL REAL SINGING AN PURE NATURAL TALENT .....THATS HOW IT'S DONE FOLK ............THE BEST ...............LONG LIVE SHIRLEY.......................
Stunningly beautiful ❤️🙏🏼
Class, style, intelligence and a voice bigger than life.
A truly triumphant performance. And a magnificent audience who understood and appreciated Miss Bassey.
This show is a masterclass how a Star should perfom on a stage. Perfect!
Agreed! Unrivaled
No words to describe her....simply the best ....
amazing a true legend there will never be another singer like her ever

The strongest voice ever ! A real powerhouse ❤
Perfect entertainer
All of these videos are wonderful I have been a believer since 1962 and still find her absolutely amazing
A very beautiful woman, with a beautiful and powerful voice
I love the way she can sustain one single note and by simply sustaining that single note, tell so much, such richness, and in each context telling something different and appropriate to the part of the tune, such domain of musicality and expressiveness.
Very, very well expressed!!! 🥲🌺🌺❤️❤️❤️💯🌹🌹🌹🌹☺️
She is one of the best vocal artists of the 20th century.
My mother said when she first saw her as an 18 year old she will be star how right she was
Lets us agree Shirley Bassey is amazing 💃 🎶 🌹 💘 👏

What is amazing is this Musician embodied Musicianship. She became the song, told the story and delivered every song like water off a ducks back. Amazing

This is almost an unreal talent and voice , so much underrated , i had to see a show of people trying to play like famous voices to remember Shirley. Superb voice!

One of Britain's best ever ❤
The 8th wonder of the world. Such power and passion. She gets me right in the heart every time. I love you Shirley. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dame Bassey delivers to the listeners the story inside the song so effortlessly. Performance art of this caliber should be in the Louvre. Really celebrated as art. Her voice paints vivid pictures so lushly to the ear. Bravo Dame Bassey.
Shirley Bassey I love you! Xoxo in this life there is joy and someone needs to say it,your songs and delivery of them to this Earth is something to enjoy ; thank you for being you and present in this life of everyone.
Shirley is gold and diamond, the only female singer in the world today period. William Percival New Zealand Gardenia Band 🇨🇰 Kia Orana
What a performances of a Shirley Bassey? So, classic ... and full of confidence within herself! Her songs are from her heart, you know ...
Yes now I get why my father use to LOVE her singing .....May his soul rest in peace
Shirley Bassey truly owns the stage, with every performance I get chills.
without you wow what a performance !!!
What a Golden voice,no one can’t compare❤️❤️❤️
I am so sad because I grew up when Shirley had her own TV shows and she was in concert around the world .Having seen her in concert 4 times and what a performer and all those hit singles she had brings all my memories back of the past and how time has moved on. The Shirley Bassey days were my best ,that period of time The Seventies, Eighties and Nineties . Happy times. Thank you Dame Shirley.
Впервые слышу эту певицу. Потрясающий голос. Она как-будто делится со зрителями сокровенным. У кого теперь есть такой голос. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.....
Shirley Bassey was one best singer of all time she sing live without backup singers just with the band, I just love this concert and love that green gown she was wearing.
