You also forgot Sheena Easton`s 007 Hit...For your Eyes Only...Beautifully Sung.... Oh,to Rob N Amber....Try the Movie Goldfinger...It`s AMAZING....Hell,try you only live twice..BOTH THE SONG AND THE MOVIE...Both`re amazing!!!
Bassey absolutely knocked this out of the park! There have been many great Bond theme songs but this is my favorite. There's something so sinister about it: the lyrics, the orchestration and, of course, Shirley Bassey's incomparable voice.
Dame Shirley Bassey is a national treasure in Wales and the UK. She is what used to be called a belter and push out a note like no other often likened to the female Tom Jones and has definitely done a few Vegas shows as well. Her version of "I who have nothing" is a total show stopper and my favourite version. She is now 86 and last performed live at the end of last year (she definitely still has it). Her life story is amazing and she has fought through so many adversities. She is still a very beautiful and elegant lady.
Shirley justifiably hates the term belter as it denies the skill, control and variety of her voice. she can apply the power when needed but is capable of massive subtelty as well. she's the only artist to have been chosen to do three Bond Themes but you could listen to "This is My Life", She made "Something"( one of George Harrison's songs for the beatles ) her own, and her great vocals on Propellerheads' " All just a Little Bit of History Repeating" which I think you might really appreciate.
Dame (as awarded by the Queen) Shirley Bassey is one of the greatest live performers who has ever lived. Her performances are legendary. She is adored by millions of fans like myself. It is a pity you did not see a video of her performing "Goldfinger" or "I, Who Have Nothing" or "Diamonds Are Forever" or the incredible "This Is My Life". If you did, you will sit there transfixed as you did for Pavarotti and for "Barcelona".
Every live performance that she does is astounding because you see her with the full orchestra delivering sassy facial expressions and jestures like actress and opera singer! each performance is a magnificent jewel onto itself!
Fun Fact! If you listen closely, you'll hear an acoustic guitar mixed in with the orchestra. And who was playing that guitar? None other than Jimmy Page, soon to be the rock god and guitarist with Led Zeppelin! He was a major session guitar player in his early career. Another little tidbit (I learned all of this in the documentary about Abbey Road Studios that Paul McCartney's daughter directed recently) is that Shirley Bassey held that final note for so long while she was waiting for the credits to end (she was watching while recording) that she fainted as soon as she finished, standing right near Jimmy.
She has an old "Broadway Voice". Imagine having to fill a theater without microphones, etc and you just have to belt it out. Have a Flash-Filled-Friday!!
Decades ago they had to introduce microphones and amplifiers for the performers because many couldn't sing and be heard at the back of the theater! I know because my father was one of those with an old "Broadway Voice"! He was the best dramatic tenor on B'way from late 40's to late 70's and was in 30 shows(15 original casts) and could be heard easily and clearly in the last row of every show he was in.
@@PaulWilliams-ko5fu I found it. Thank you. It was lovely to see her again. I do prefer her own songs to the James Bond themes but she's great whatever she sings.
She is Welsh. That's were she was born. It's her nationality. Her bi ethnic background has nothing to do where she was born and raised. That's like saying someone that's half Caucasian and half Korean but was born in Canada isn't Canadian. They are if they're born there.
I remember her on the Ed Sullivan show….also Cilla Black….I think they both did a cover of Goin Out of My Head…..a few years apart…Cilla sang the theme from Alfie….I vaguely remember Shirley singing Love Story(where do I begin)….also Big Spender
I listen to Dame Shirley Bassey at least couple times yearly. She is so amazing and i fell for her Singing "Diamonds Are Foreverr" theme. great choice.
Dame Shirley Bassey, has such an amazing voice. She's done 3 Bond Movie themes. But I love her performance for "I who have nothing." And even With the Propellerheads, "History Repeating". Long live Shirley!
I’m glad that you two found Dame Shirley Bassey. She is the only artist to have sung more than one James Bond, 007, theme song; Goldfinger, Moonraker, and Diamonds are Forever. It would be worthwhile finding a video where she sings live, her live performances add to the experience.
Yes, great voice. It's interesting to think that the James Bond film series is becoming less and less known. There was a time when I and my school friends had seen and could discuss all the Bond movies up to that time in great detail. Bond: "You expect me to talk?" Goldfinger: "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"
Watching Shirley Bassey live is an experience. Hopefully you can do another few more songs by her but should be a video of a live performance. Her voice is incredible and her expressions are just wonderful. Big Spender, This is my life, Never never never. Now, I hope you also do some more Tina Turner, live performance of Nutbush from 2000 Twenty Four Seven Tour - don’t miss out on this iconic experience 🧡
Guys been waiting for you to find SHIRLEY BASSEY--she is the female TOM JONES...they are both Welsh about the same age who both sing great live and have super powerful voices AND they are both still going in their 80's!
She is LEGENDARY!!!! She actually did a cover of “Get This Party Started” by Pink that is BRILLIANT. Also, check her out with the Propeller Heads singing “History Repeating Itself”- AMAZING!!!❤
Forgot to comment on the song, Lol. Absolutely epic voice this Lady has! There's something in the water over in Wales that works magic on people's voices. Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, Bonny Tyler. Shirley has a unique signature tone, and a vibrato that is unmistakably hers. Any song she sings, she grabs your attention from the first note, and holds it through the entire song. Truly one of a kind!
Dame Shirley Bassey and Sir Tom Jones are both from South Wales and often have recorded the same songs, they have both got some of the most powerful voices you will ever hear !
Lets never forget the late , legendry composer AND fellow brit John Barry who wrote , conducted and produced these and many other sensational film scores .
Ever since I found you guys, I've been binging your videos. Love watching you guys listen to a lot of the oldies I grew up with. I love being a 60's baby🙏🏾💙😇👍🏾
OMG AT LAST YOU GUYS HAVE DISCOVERED THE ICONIC SUPERSTAR DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY AND SHIRLEY HAS BEEN SINGING FOR 60 YRS AND SHE IS LOVED AND ADORED IN BRITAIN 🇬🇧 AND SHE IS KNOWN AS OUR SHIRLEY!!! YOU HAVE TO WATCH SHIRLEY SING LIVE TO SEE HOW GOOD SHE IS AND SHE PUTS EVERYTHING INTO HER PERFORMANCES AND SHE HAS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELEIVED!!! THE SONG 🎵 THIS IS MY LIFE!!! SUNG LIVE IN 1973 AT THE ALBERT HALL IS AN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME PERFORMANCE.
WoW I just got goosebumps . My mother went to tap dance school with Shirley Bassey . I lived in Tiger Bay from the of 11 til I was 15 where she and my mother were both from , all my family on my mom’s side is in Cardiff …
Such an iconic song, from an iconic 007 spy movie from 1963. James Bond. "Martini...shaken, not stirred." The ultimate line in every Bond movie ever made. This is the best Bond movie theme song of them all in my opinion. Thanks
Oh please react to live videos of this powerhouse of a lady. What a classy ultimate Diva that you will see clearly from a live video of her singing this song as well as Diamonds are Forever….Another powerful classic Oh what a Gem!
Gorgeous Shirley Bassey. What a voice. What a personality. She was a major singing star in the UK in the 1960s and 1970s and is still performing. From a humble background in South Wales she became a pop sensation with a very long career. Lovely lady.
Shirley is a national treasure here in the UK. Now i am going to recommend another, Cilla Black. I will keep things short with the details, she was born in Liverpool and worked as a cloakroom assistant at the cavern club (made famous by The Beatles) where she would get up and sing a song with whichever group were performing that night (inc The Beatles). She eventually got a record contract with her first song being written by The Beatles. She sadly passed away in 2015, the song i recommend to show the power of her voice is "You're my World".
Dame Shirley Bassey the Girl from Tiger bay in Cardiff Wales. My father’s favourite singer of all time. I saw her live as a teenager and was wowed. Start the Bond films with Dr No
Are you from Cardiff? My mother was born and raised in Cardiff . My grandfather opened the first Indian restaurant in Cardiff in the 50’s called The Bombay
@@emmahowells8334 yeah I lived in The Docks and Tiger Bay from the age of 11 til I was 15 . My grandfather opened the first Indian restaurant in Cardiff called The Bombay in the 50’s

You’ll love lots of the Bond themes: Tina Turner (Goldeneye), Gladys Knight (License to Kill), Adele (Skyfall), Sheena Easton (For Your Eyes Only), just to name a few…
All the Bond Themes have a distinctive style and arrangement. When an artist becomes big enough to be offered the gig, they are given quite a specific brief.
Shirley Bassey Rocks, Diamonds are forever , This is my Life, History Repeating, I am what I am, Born to Lose too many to list. Thank you for reacting to her she is a gem!
Omg I wished you had done a live performance, to see her in action!! You really have to see her perform, she is so bloody amazing!! Hope next when you react to her please look at a live performance! Just like you said: Theatrical that is what she bring into her performance!
Her voice was and is still so amazing. She was such a hot mama back in the day too. Always had these sultry dresses on. Whenever people say singers back in the day never dressed like that when talking about modern artists, link them to Shirley 😉
You really need to see her perform. She is a true performer and you just don’t get the full Shirley vibe without watching her. She was massive in the 1970s and munched loved in the UK.

Shirley Bassey is a bona fide national treasure for the people of Great Britain.
for me, every Bond song should be song by Shirley Bassey.
To be more explicit she’s a credit to the country of Wales,indeed.
@@carolwaller9605 Ah, indeed. I did not know that. But it figures; the Welsh are noted for their beautiful singing!
The Queen thinks so .
And for all who love great music
Shirley should always be watched live, she has amazing stage presence. She is a national treasure in Britain.
She is in her 80s now and she is still giving incredible live performances.
Y’ll have to watch “Goldfinger” the movie! The song fits right in ! My favorite theme song ! She’s a powerhouse!
Look up her performance at Glastonbury festival. In her 80s and had the audience in the palm of her hands.
She has a stage presence that is incredible, and it doubles your enjoyment to watch her.
That's It! On stage her presence gives another lights to the song... 👏🏻❤️

Why do t you guys do all of the James Bond movie songs, you will love them.😊
Tomorrow Never Dies.
She did two other James Bond themes (Diamonds Are Forever & Moonraker). Beautiful voice!
No other artist has done more than 1 theme song for a Bond movie.
Movies with sean Connery a 007. Are great.i think even you kids woukd like them.they weren't made for the music. It's the espionage.😊
You also forgot Sheena Easton`s 007 Hit...For your Eyes Only...Beautifully Sung.... Oh,to Rob N Amber....Try the Movie Goldfinger...It`s AMAZING....Hell,try you only live twice..BOTH THE SONG AND THE MOVIE...Both`re amazing!!!

The original plan was to have her sing all the bond themes. I can't remember why they didn't .
Shirley Bassey is a GOAT. Her voice is so distinctive. A favourite of King Charles.

She's from Cardiff, Sir Tom lived about 12 miles away in Pontypridd, both in Wales obviously ❤, national treasures.
@@richarddew7577 she's not from Cardiff lol she just lived there she's half African and half English.
My mom listened to her when I was young. I’m 55 now and still would say that she was not recognized as she should have been. Gorgeous voice.
Brilliant Shirley Bassey.....a huge rabbit hole to go down.....catch her singing live.....always a joy to watch and listen to....so dramatic ❤
Agreed
She's formidable. The Royal Mint are just featuring her on a special coin.
Not forgetting she's also a Dame 👏👏👏👏
You really should watch Shirley sing.... Amazing! Very glamorous.

I Had Lunch With Our Late Much Missed Queen & Dame Shirley In 2006
Thanks for bringing this to light . Tiger Bay is very good
She was great in her performance on ‘Morecambe and Wise’ too, well worth a watch 🤣🤣🤣
@@vaughanwilliams761 so did I , it was great talking to u that 🌃 night . Remind me who are u again ? 🥃👍
She is top 5 GOAT female singers😊
You reallly need to SEE a recording of her performing... She's so theatrical & simply wondeful, of national treasure status! 🇬🇧👍😊
She was so cool and glamorous.
Every live performance that she does is astounding because you see her with the full orchestra delivering sassy facial expressions and jestures like actress and opera singer! each performance is a magnificent jewel onto itself!

Interesting information! I did not now that tidbit of information. Thanks for sharing.

Another great Welsh singer like Tom Jones. What a powerful voice she has.
She's not even Welsh she's half African and half English. My people are not just a name but an ethnicity you have to half Welsh dna to be Welsh
She is Welsh. That's were she was born. It's her nationality. Her bi ethnic background has nothing to do where she was born and raised.

Dame Shirley Bassey, a National Treasure, from Tiger Bay in Wales.
Sass, class and an amazing voice
She is absolutely wonderful.
She did a great cover of “I Who Have Nothing”
Shirley , Tom Jones and Puddles Pity Party all did a great job covering this
Also, Ben E King.
When I did musicals back in the day we did not use mics. Finally we used them in Jesus Christ Superstar.

Half of the joy of Shirley Bassey is watching her performance, she lives every note see sings, mesmerising ❤
Absolutely. Watching her perform adds so much more because of her particular mannerisms.

She was offered Goldeneye by Bono as well. When she turned it down, they approached Tina Turner as the next best option.
Shirley is the original Bond-girl!! Three Bond themes!!
Another Shirley Bassey song you should give a listen to is 'Hey Big Spender'.
Love you reactions folks. ❤
The power of this beautiful woman's voice is unmatched, and she is the voice of the Bond movie franchise.
You neeeeeed to hear her live live live. Wowzer
What a voice! What a song! Enjoy! There are many 007 movies. Goldfinger is one of the best. Saw it in the theater. Thanks!
Wow, you're old,lol.
Yes, great voice. It's interesting to think that the James Bond film series is becoming less and less known. There was a time when I and my school friends had seen and could discuss all the Bond movies up to that time in great detail.
Bond: "You expect me to talk?"

Watching Shirley Bassey live is an experience. Hopefully you can do another few more songs by her but should be a video of a live performance. Her voice is incredible and her expressions are just wonderful. Big Spender, This is my life, Never never never.
Now, I hope you also do some more Tina Turner, live performance of Nutbush from 2000 Twenty Four Seven Tour - don’t miss out on this iconic experience 🧡
After watching the movie, you will have a greater appreciation for the song
Guys been waiting for you to find SHIRLEY BASSEY--she is the female TOM JONES...they are both Welsh about the same age who both sing great live and have super powerful voices AND they are both still going in their 80's!

History Repeating is a GREAT song!!!
Another vote for “History Repeating”. I love that song!
And not forgetting her collaboration with Yello, The Rhythm Divine so, so good
Where do I begin is and one of her great performances.

....Dusty Springfield was from London..😊
She's not Welsh she's half African and half English.
The epitome of a great performer.
Her song, THIS IS MY LIFE has made her an icon in ❤certain communities.
The “so called divas” of today have no clue! 💯🔥♥️👏🏼
Dame Shirley is one of the most famous Welsh singers of all time. See Goldfinger!
Dame Shirley Bassey and Sir Tom Jones are both from South Wales and often have recorded the same songs, they have both got some of the most powerful voices you will ever hear !

IMO- THIS Is The Best Movie Theme Song of All Time! Her voice is clear and powerful. Great Reaction, You Guys! You would love the Movie also!
Diamonds are Forever. Is just as good 👍

All are classics...
Always loved this track. Special.
She deserves a video reaction, especially Diamonds Are Forever. She's a performer and captivating to watch.
My fav Shirley Bassey song is the Ballad of the Sad Young Men.
Such an iconic song, from an iconic 007 spy movie from 1963. James Bond. "Martini...shaken, not stirred." The ultimate line in every Bond movie ever made. This is the best Bond movie theme song of them all in my opinion.
Thanks
Also first movie appearance of the 1964 1/2 Mustang
Finally after a year of requesting this legend: Shirley Bassey you guys respond. Well enjoy!!!
She was very young when she sang this. The movie is very good too.
Proper Diva. She can hit those nots and still does in her 80s just like Tom.
Oh please react to live videos of this powerhouse of a lady. What a classy ultimate Diva that you will see clearly from a live video of her singing this song as well as Diamonds are Forever….Another powerful classic Oh what a Gem!
Dame Shirley a great British super star.
Gorgeous Shirley Bassey. What a voice. What a personality. She was a major singing star in the UK in the 1960s and 1970s and is still performing. From a humble background in South Wales she became a pop sensation with a very long career. Lovely lady.
Paul McCartney has a James Bond Theme , Live and Let Die , 1973
😂😂😂
The BEST of the bond songs cause it talks directly about the central bond villain.
Shirley is a national treasure here in the UK. Now i am going to recommend another, Cilla Black. I will keep things short with the details, she was born in Liverpool and worked as a cloakroom assistant at the cavern club (made famous by The Beatles) where she would get up and sing a song with whichever group were performing that night (inc The Beatles). She eventually got a record contract with her first song being written by The Beatles. She sadly passed away in 2015, the song i recommend to show the power of her voice is "You're my World".
Alfie is also a classic..
Wowow! Just pure genius. Love this channel. I'm here with you both, reliving vicariously through your eyes. You have great taste
You really need to see her perform her songs. Her stage presence and stage performance is as powerful as her singing.

You really need to see her perform. She is a true performer and you just don’t get the full Shirley vibe without watching her. She was massive in the 1970s and munched loved in the UK.
I love how she pronounces Gold-fiin-gaah
Oh you should've watched her live version - she's amazing!
You should see her in a live video. She's amazing.
