- 1979 (Shirley Bassey's # 1 Hit - Shirley performs a powerfully dynamic rendition of one of her signature songs 18 years afer she originally recorded it back in 1961. Climb Every Mountain is a song from the musical, 'The Sound Of Music'. Shirley is performing this song on her 1979 TV Variety Show. At the conclusion it says, 'Shirley Bassey Introduced' - This meant that it was her first show of the 1979 series. Bassey started show business in 1953 at the age of 16 yo, and now in her mid 70's, thankfully, Dame Shirley's voice is still as powerful as ever. This powerful song was waiting for someone like Bassey to record it.
Shirley first recorded this song as a Columbia single in 1961, and then included the track on her 1961 LP title, 'Shirley Bassey'. Shirley's powerful recording of this classic song climbed the charts until it reached the Number 1 position!
ABOUT the song:
"Climb Ev'ry Mountain" is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. Here it is sung at the close of the first act by the Mother Abbess. It is themed as an inspirational piece, to encourage people to take every step towards attaining one's dreams.
This song shares inspirational overtones with the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" from Carousel. They are both sung by the female mentor characters in the shows, and are used to give strength to the protagonists in the story, and both are given powerful reprises at the end of their respective shows. However, as Oscar Hammerstein II was writing the lyrics, it developed its own inspirational overtones along the lines of an earlier Hammerstein song, "There's a Hill Beyond a Hill". He felt that the metaphors of climbing mountains and fording streams better fitted Maria's quest for her spiritual compass. However, the muse behind the song was Sister Gregory, the head of Drama at Rosary College in Illinois. The letters that she sent to Hammerstein and to Mary Martin, the first Maria von Trapp on Broadway, described the parallels between a nun's choice for a religious life and the choices that humans must make to find their purpose and direction in life. When she read the manuscript of the lyrics, she confessed that it "drove [her] to the Chapel" because the lyrics conveyed a "yearning that ... ordinary souls feel but cannot communicate".
Tony Bennett had a very minor hit in 1960 with his recording of the song. In 1961, Welsh singer Shirley Bassey recorded the song and released it as part of a double A-sided single with "Reach for the Stars". It reached No.1 in the UK on September 21, 1961, and remained on the charts for 18 weeks

Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
A dream that will need all the love you can give
Every day of your life for as long as you live
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
(A dream that will need all the love you can give)
(Every day of your life for as long as you live)
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till... you... find... your...dream
They don't make talent like this anymore. Beautiful!!!
She is one of the best singers of all time!
She made it seem effortless.
Zeker weten !!👌👌👌
She is better or not than Whitney and Aretha?
Amazing performance, the depth and range driven by her passion.
She is just phenomenal!!!
She’s fantastic! What a golden voice
The most iconic and memorable female voice in the world. If you are hearing Dame Shirley for the first time in 50 years, you will know it is she. She sounds like no other. The Mask Singer is the last place she can go on and sing because she would be discovered the first few seconds of a song.
Go on Shirley!!!!❤❤❤
Never knew she sang this what a woman what a voice,imagine being born with a voice like that...superb
One of my families first 45
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The most powerful female voice I ever heard. A most difficult song to perform, and the Incomparable Ms Shirley Bassey, does it effortlessly!!!
Check out Shirley's live version of 'For All We Know' @ Shirley Bassey - For All We Know (1979 Show #2). This performance was around the same period, and the last note is nothing short of incredible! The video is not great because this video was actually left out of the original televised series. But, Shirley's vocals come through crystal clear. This lady is one of the greatest, no doubt. And, people stumble on to Dame Shirley's magic every day, thanks to RUclips! Regards, Scot
By far.. The woman is one massive wind musical instrument
Oh please! Go and listen to Maria Callas, etc., Now that's power!
Tony: In a pig's eye. she was good. There are many who are superior.
@@joeblack8915 You're comparing apples and pears. It's like comparing Freddie Mercury with Luciano Pavarotti. Dame Shirley Bassey is in a class by herself, and she can't be compared to other singers. If you love opera, by all means, go and love Maria Callas. Many do not like the metallic quality of her voice.
It's not just the power of her voice, Shirley brought her unique phrasing to a musical standard and delivered her special interpretation.
AGREE!
This was number 1 on the day I was born how wonderful to be born on a day the brilliant Shirley Bassey had a number one with this beautiful song
How neat. These words are meant for you, Dear!
That song and reach for the star's unbeatable
My gawd! She is that good!
The unmistakeable 'Bassey Boom' in a much-loved song that, sung softly and emotively as a hymn, has enduring reverence and inspiration.
I adore this amazing singer
Beautiful performance by Dame Shirley
Beyond brilliant
Holy crap. When Shirley sings a song, it has been sung. What a marvelous talent!
She doesn't sing songs, she inhabits them.
Amazing ❤
A strong voice that comes only once in a lifetime. I love it absolutely.
She tears that damn thing apart and turns it into one hell of a massive universe of song..
A melhor cantora em qualquer tempo! Potência, afinação, interpretação, sem igual!

Oh, yes. Kudos, Dame Shirley.
She was the BEST female singer.
Such power. Can't be compared with any female singer today. Not ONE of them could ever sing like her. I like Celine Dion but I don't think she could even be as powerful as Shirley. Def not Lopez or Beyonce and today's youth think they are great. What a laugh!
❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏽🌹

Damn. Damn. That's all I got
What a voice
These days, Saturday night TV consists of baking competitions, 'reality' nonsense, and 'celebrity' ballroom dancing.
Back in the 70s, audiences could lap up amazing performances like this on a weekly basis.
A different world .....
The great Shirley Bassey
Awesome
1. first time hearing of her 2. yes ive watched sound of music, i know 3. Michael Jackson brought me here. Apparently this was his first audition 4. shes perfect, as are her vocals.
Just a natural born singer, you can't train a voice like that.
Shirley had no music lessons until the mid-80's when she lost her voice after her daughter passed. Her doctors say she came back too soon, and did not take enough time to grieve. Shirley just wanted to do something to keep her mind off of her daughter. But, at the time she sought out a classical Opera coach. This lady taught Shirley breath control, and she also in the process she discovered she had another octave!
Lady you can sing...
dame, the female version of sir for male who are knighted by the queen.
PRICELESS......Thank you for sharing.
Mil vezes obrigada......!!!!
Dame Shirley Bassey you're amazing
shirley!!!! love you hun!!!!!!
She is a good-looking woman.
Wow
The best female performer
@lschtupak - A lot of people around the world certainly agree with your assessment! Shirley climbed to the top of the mountain herself when her version of this classic song reached #1 on the hit parade back in 1961.
MARAVILLOSA
I need the dynamics of the song
Its to beautifull
Sorry Manuel,I know she was knighted to Dame.It was my sponteneous expression😀
What I mean : Great Lady ...Great Voice.Perhaps my English is not as Good as yours ❤️ 😄
Lisa Kroon you are so modest. Your English is flawless!
