I first heard Shirley Bassey sing when I was a little girl. She must be in her eighties now. If you compare her voice to when Goldfinger first came out in the sixties(?). she sounds just the same. She really is a marvel.
In my experience, she's really not that well known outside of the UK and Europe, which is a huge crime, because she's a living legend. Her voice is just incomparable. Sets a very high bar for all altos that came after her
I would say whitney houston was better she had more power range and reached the higher notes vocally a better singer. I watched Shirley Bassey singing live on tv back when i was a small kid in the late 70's yes she was considered to be what we would call to days female singers one of the best in her era. However we have better singers that would of surpass her even in her prime and that's how it will always be someone comes along and out shines the best of them all. No matter if its singers sports or entertainment and so far tom jones as yet to be beaten for a male singer even today for his (vocal range) and power but like i said it will happen.
You are of course entitled to your opinion and Whitney was a fabulous singer… one of my favourites in fact. For me though Shirley just shades it. Not that it matters both outstanding artists.
@@keridenner2187 i think when you say class personified it really resonates with me. to me shirley's only comparison would be julie andrews. in that they both have such great class and performance skills but where julie is a little more demure on stage shirley is cheeky and a little naughty. but both make you go wow there is a real special lady.
This is my all time favorite movie theme! As a trumpet player myself and in a high school band I was extremely excited that it was the trumpets that made the introduction sexy and sassy! Then came Shirleys voice! My all time favorite movie theme!
Shirley Bassey is a superstar. I hope you look up some of her other work too. And honey, I’d love to see you react to Joan Armatrading as well..especially Willow. I have every Joan Armatrading album, my personal favourite song of hers is The Weakness In Me..I loved this review, new sub. ♥️ from 🇦🇺🦘🐨
She was 74 in this performance!!!! I’m fed up of only reactions to James Bond themes though- except for Diamonds are forever at 2022 BAFTAS ( she was 85/6). I adore her xxxx so much I’ve just ordered a coin from the Royal Mint commemorating her. Today actually!
Of the many vocalists/singers over the years, only a few have really intrigued and beguiled me. 1) Shirley Bassey 2) Kate Bush 3) Tina Turner Listen to any of the above singers and you will feel yourself transported to another place.
Honi, She's Welsh, of course, like Tom Jones, (who sang 'Thunderball' for a Bond film). Shirl also sang 'Diamonds are forever' for the bond film. One of the great ladies of Wales, she stunned us all at a international rugby match, walking on to the pitch with the 'Goldfinger' theme in the background, draped in a silk 'dragon' flag, and then proceeded to sing the Welsh National Anthem in flawless Welsh. What a woman!!

Aww loved that you checked out her performance - and I’m gonna go look at another suggestion that just popped up of you reacting to several of her live performances over the years! 😊

She recorded this song for the Bond film in 1964 at the age of 27. She was 74 at the time of this performance. Phenomenal.

She is 86😊
If diamonds are forever then so is Shirley Bassey
In my experience, she's really not that well known outside of the UK and Europe, which is a huge crime, because she's a living legend. Her voice is just incomparable. Sets a very high bar for all altos that came after her
What a singer, what an orchestra 👏👏👏👏👏
Class personified…. No other female artist comes close..

@@bioshock6935 they’re different styles, but Shirley’s voice was bigger and more powerful.
Basseys style of singing is unique to her and her alone no one matches 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Nobody sang bond theme songs better
74 she was there...my Queen..she is 86 now and still sings better than artists half her age. A living legend❤
Yes , she was in her mid 70’s there. Amazing.
She's from lovely little Wales, land of song- check out Tom Jones (e.g I'll Never Fall in Love Again), also from Wales. Quite incredible for her age,
Shirley Bassey is approximately 85 years old……..! And she still sounds absolutely fabulous….!
That´s a real Diva. She has an incredible voice and a perfect entertainment. Thats very rare today....

I loved watching your face when she was singing!😁😘
This is my all time favorite movie theme! As a trumpet player myself and in a high school band I was extremely excited that it was the trumpets that made the introduction sexy and sassy! Then came Shirleys voice! My all time favorite movie theme!
I absolutely LOVE your reactions, Honey, your face is so expressive.😁😘
Dame Shirley. My dad lived her , she is a British treasure
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is class.

She took her nephew and my dad to the cinema when they were boys and before she became famous, woolston cinema, Southampton 1950’s.
She is a little past her best here. Watch the 1974 performance from the Albert Hall - Dame Shirley at FULL power.
Say what?????Past her best???
The ultimate Bond Girl!❤

"Do you expect me to talk"
I used to watch Shirley Bassey singing every Saturday when I was young girl, she had a show I think, love her.
Class personified. A British icon, who sings like that at 74, maybe Tom Jones, both Welsh.
Honi, She's Welsh, of course, like Tom Jones, (who sang 'Thunderball' for a Bond film). Shirl also sang 'Diamonds are forever' for the bond film.

Thank for being an appreciative and attentive reactor to one of my favourite performers, who acts and sings her songs.
Love love love Sherley Bassey....Have you seen her sing This is My Life ? Brilliant!
