    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.

    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.

    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

  • @chickedee1085

  • @Jjudes9665
    @Jjudes9665 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

    @HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

  • @kathleenmayhorne3183
    @kathleenmayhorne3183 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

  • @karonguy
    @karonguy ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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!

    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 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.

  • @klb9142
    @klb9142 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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

    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.

    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!
