I saw her live twice. Once when I was 19 and then again when I was nearly 33. She was astonishing. I went both times with my Dad who had been a fan when he saw her at 21. An extraordinary woman. Look into her background. She’s a treasure.
Bassey was so beautiful, so mysterious, so mesmerizing and enchanting! Almost nobody in entertainment who has a phenomenal voice also has the ability to completely capture an audience that way. Not Streisand. Not Whitney. Almost nobody.
Dame Shirley Bassey is iconic! These two songs are from the James Bond movies, which she was asked to sing for... thus this performance, which is one of many great performances by her. She is charismatic, elegant and one of a kind talent. A true Diva.
I love your reaction to our Dame Shirley Bassey. Your reaction gave me goosebumps and brought me joy. She is a once in a lifetime phenomenon. There will never ever be another Dame Shirley Bassey. You should also look up, The Living Tree and Who Wants To lLve Forever . Plus, there are many more songs you would enjoy. You have a beautiful spirit.
Dame Shirley BASSEY. Wow!!!! Her most unique voice is so powerfully versatile, her musical capability is cosmically naturally commanding & authoritatively subtle with the strongest thermodynamic energy of: A. Sound (overtone, timbre, pitch, amplitude, duration) B. Melody. C. Harmony. D. Rhythm. E. Texture. F. Structure G. Expression (dynamics, tempo, articulation) - A Truly Knighted Singer of the Highest Caliber who sings with the most influential Magic of Music that she is the True Genius of the Musical World - a Gift to All Humanity
Dame shirley bassey is one of the worlds best singers she has a set of pipes i have never heard anyone come close the only woman given tge honor of singing 3 bond films moonraker diamonds are forever and goldfinger but she is so much more
I'm old. When I was a little kid television used to turn off at night, and it played a song to end the day. The station I watched played Diamonds Are Forever for me as a toddler.
When you think she first sang and recorded these songs in 1967 (Goldfinger) and Diamonds are Forever in 1971, she can today still sing both these songs virtually note for note with her powerhouse vocals aged 85!! Oh, and as for her stunning dresses she’s admitted to keeping every single outfit she’s ever worn on stage and keeps them in a secure warehouse storage facility. All colour coded and dated where and when she wore each of them. She’s an amazing woman, intelligent, funny and has a very cheeky sense of humour. I’ve adored listening her for music for most of my life.💞🇬🇧
The Girl from Tiger Bay. Really love her first ever hit - at 19 which was banned for play on the BBC (had the word "sex" in it!). "Burn my candle" is around on TH-cam. The timeless voice of Bond.
Dame Shirley Bassey 👍😎💎❤️ Also DSB Thank you for this brilliant posting 💕😘 Check out 1973 live Royal Albert Hall, she sings Goldfinger, she's so sexy beautiful and her voice is like cream 🍨 butter like no other power passion gorgeous Queen greatest entertainer check out her redition of light my fire and wanna know what love is will BLOW your mind. Stay safe God bless DSB ❤️❤️🙏🏼 and YOU!!!
She did an autobigraphical song once called 'The girl from 'Tiger Bay'. Which was a poor area in the docks of Cardiff , Wales, UK. Where she was born and brought up. She is fabulous; now in her 80's.
Diamonds Are Forever and GoldFinger are the names of Movies she sang the songs for. It was not personal to her. She was recognised by the Queen of england for her music, hence she is a Dame.
My Mum is probably one of the biggest Shirley Bassey fans. I'm so proud that my Mum is a singer too and was named the North-East of England Shirley Bassey - her voice is as strong as Shirley's and when I hear SB singing it reminds me of being young and hearing my Mum practice. The power of SB is incredible - and my Mum is a very close second!
The songs she sang where for James Bond movie. But i have always been smitten for her. Her smile alone is wonderful. Yet such a power house without effort.
I recently watched that performance for the first time ever and i could relate to your reaction so much lol, Dame Shirley Bassey is a phenomenal singer and performer 👏💖
I’m 62. I grew up listening to this superstar. I love Dame Shirley Bassey. Her voice is a gift from God. She could have been an opera star as well. But I am so happy she gave her gift to us in these wonderful Bond themes. I’m glad this young lady appreciates this great voice. Thank you for your review of the Great Dane Shirley Bassey. PS Trivia. When Shirley Bassey original went into the studio back in the 1960s to record the Goldfinger theme, the producer kept having her do retakes in order to get that last high note perfect. When she finally did it exactly as the producer wanted it on the final take, she had to be helped back out to her car because that big final note took a toll on her. That last note of that song is really something out of this world. ❤️
I have Always Loved Ms.Shirley Bassey ! ever since I was a teenager in the 1960.s and heard her Beutiful voice in the movies !!! She is Pure Class !! Nothing like her today! or ever!
I will always take time to watch Shirley Bassey. My giving her "Diamonds Are Forever" and "Goldfinger" videos is automatic. I remember my first time listening to "Diamonds Are Forever" at the theater. That song is why I went multiple times to watch that movie. I never get tired of watching her sing those two powerful songs. "Moonraker" by Shirley Bassey is another wonderful James Bond theme song that's well worth listening to.
Along with having a powerful voice, you can tell she enjoys entertaining the audience. I saw that commonality with Whitney Houston. The way their eyes sparkle, and their mannerisms. They perform like they have a delicious secret they are sharing with the audience. I have always felt that way about Whitney, but seeing these performances from Dame Shirley Bassie makes me feel that way too
The royal family loves her very much tgey are friends she lives in monaco south of france and she is from whales england i love u tubing her shows a sense of humor
I hate to tell you but Wales isn't in England. It's next door to England. Wales, know as The Land of Song, is a country all of its own. I know because I live there🏴
Goldfinger not Golden finger. Dame Shirley Bassey is Diamond, and Pure Gold all in one. She is absolutely THE best, and we are highly honoured to have her in our lives. Great reaction! 👍 You'll Love "The Living Tree" and "The Girl From Tiger Bay" YOUR goosebumps will HAVE goosebumps! Enjoy!! Liked and subbed👍
Both are theme songs from James Bond films. If you would like to hear other Bond themes, I would recommend "Skyfall" by Adele, "The Spy Who Loved Me" by Carly Simon, "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney, "For Your Eyes Only" by Sheena Easton.
1971 the last James Bond movie that Sean Connery was in it theme song. Of course the name was diamonds are forever Roger Moore took over the roll after this. Goldfinger probably most iconic James movie also Sean Connery
Love Ur Accent, just one humble Request, Her name is Shirley & not Shelly! Like U pointed out so Perfectly, Dame ShiRley Bassey IS Elegant Very Ladylike & Yes SHE CAN SING WITH HER HEART ❤
Born Cardiff 1953, Shirley Bassey was the daughter Of Henry Bassey (a Nigerian) and Eliza Start (from Teesside in the north of England). She's a classic, an icon, a one-off. Still blasting them out in her sixties. Check out "History Repeating" by The Propellerheads for an idea of her versatility and then track down a 1968 (it's in black and white!) performance of 'La Vita' on TH-cam She is 16 years old when she sings this!
Can you believe she was 65 when she sang that medley ? Legendary !
In her 80s now and sounding as powerful and passionate as ever!
She has more power now than she had in her 20s 🤣
I saw her live twice. Once when I was 19 and then again when I was nearly 33.
She was astonishing.
I went both times with my Dad who had been a fan when he saw her at 21. An extraordinary woman.
Look into her background.
She’s a treasure.
You are blessed to have seen the great Dame Shirley Bassey live. ❤️
This woman is the voice of Bond!
She helped to create the style and foundations of what we now think of as classic bond
Totally agree, that's why she did three Bond themes, absolute legend.
Bassey was so beautiful, so mysterious, so mesmerizing and enchanting! Almost nobody in entertainment who has a phenomenal voice also has the ability to completely capture an audience that way. Not Streisand. Not Whitney. Almost nobody.

This lady is absolutely phenomenal!!! She is too unique!!!
*Dame Shirley Bassey is one of the all-time greatest singers ever...*

Beautifully sung by a legend.
Beautiful lady from Wales!

She is elegant and beautiful at the same time. She sings with passion and soul like no one else!!!
Miss Shirley may be the greatest singer ever. This performance was phenomenal pure ,🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dame Shirley Bassey Is the treasure of the UK ,we call her our Shirley she is the best.
As an old man, I love seeing young people appreciate her😊
Dame Shirley BASSEY. Wow!!!! Her most unique voice is so powerfully versatile, her musical capability is cosmically naturally commanding & authoritatively subtle with the strongest thermodynamic energy of:

She took her nephew and my dad who were school friends to the cinema in the 1950’s before she was famous. She was visiting from Wales.
Dame shirley bassey is one of the worlds best singers she has a set of pipes i have never heard anyone come close the only woman given tge honor of singing 3 bond films moonraker diamonds are forever and goldfinger but she is so much more
Me too! Goosebumps!! Fantastic performance!! Loved your enjoyment!! 😊🌹
I'm old. When I was a little kid television used to turn off at night, and it played a song to end the day. The station I watched played Diamonds Are Forever for me as a toddler.
I've seen her twice live at The Royal Albert Hall. The power of her voice and stage presence was phenomenal. What a star!
I am green with envy that you’ve seen her twice ❤
When you think she first sang and recorded these songs in 1967 (Goldfinger) and Diamonds are Forever in 1971, she can today still sing both these songs virtually note for note with her powerhouse vocals aged 85!!

She had the most phenomenal gowns which emphasised her powerful voice. From Tiger Bay in Cardiff, Wales. Still amazing
The Girl from Tiger Bay. Really love her first ever hit - at 19 which was banned for play on the BBC (had the word "sex" in it!). "Burn my candle" is around on TH-cam. The timeless voice of Bond.

These were sung at the BAFTAs event. She is adored like a goddess in the UK!
Just amazing xxxx Nobody comes close to the passion and power of her vocals xxx
And remember, she's been hollering this music all over the planet for more than 50 YEARS! And she can STILL knock out the audience with her singing!!
You're one of the best to react. Your reactions are literally my reactions. Her voice is so incredibly powerful and thick it's insane.
She did an autobigraphical song once called 'The girl from 'Tiger Bay'. Which was a poor area in the docks of Cardiff , Wales, UK. Where she was born and brought up. She is fabulous; now in her 80's.

I dont think this young lady realises how old Shirley is and how long ago she sang these sings ! ???
Love it! I watched all the bond movies where she sang. Goldfinger was the best.
She's one of a kind they will be no other!!
I'm glad you loved both songs, I enjoyed your reactions...!
So great to see your joy.
Goldfinger not Golden finger.
Dame Shirley Bassey is Diamond, and Pure Gold all in one. She is absolutely THE best, and we are highly honoured to have her in our lives. Great reaction! 👍 You'll Love
"The Living Tree" and "The Girl From Tiger Bay" YOUR goosebumps will HAVE goosebumps! Enjoy!!
Liked and subbed👍
AN ABSOLUTE SUPERSTAR.
Both are theme songs from James Bond films. If you would like to hear other Bond themes, I would recommend "Skyfall" by Adele, "The Spy Who Loved Me" by Carly Simon, "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney, "For Your Eyes Only" by Sheena Easton.
Best of all imo: "From Russia With Love" with the singer that Frank Sinatra called "The Greatest": England's Matt Monro,
I liked the Guns and Roses "Live and Let Die" version...
Every fricken time, she just gives me goosebumps ❤❤
What a marvelous woman...
I thank you for showing this diva a truediva
You are right.. she a great singer
Shirry Bassey sings the pink song get the party started which is also fab
🙏 AMAZING 🙏
Wow!
Before Whitney Streisand Celine there was the original SHIRLEY BASSEY Whose voice could repel armies
Her best song is called something x
Both of these songs were recorded for two of the James Bond Movies of the same names.
That was said.
1971 the last James Bond movie that Sean Connery was in it theme song. Of course the name was diamonds are forever Roger Moore took over the roll after this. Goldfinger probably most iconic James movie also Sean Connery
Shirley is the goat....

Born: 8 January 1937 (age 84 years), Tiger Bay
Oops. I got that from the Internet. That'll teach me!
Although Tiger Bay is an area in Cardiff so at least they got that bit righ
@@andrewcarter7503 🤣Not quite! Tiger Bay is now called Cardiff Bay!
She wasn't 16 when she sang this!!!!!!!!!!!
Why not listen and then react!
Who was the Emcee here?
Michael Parkinson. He had a long running talk show on the BBC.
Goldfinger*
