      Me too. They really don't make performances like this anymore. She exudes power, sensuality, and combines it with playfulness and great stage presence. Add those vocals, and you got this amazing rendition. Also, the band is fire.

      Beyonce has had some good songs but doesn't come anywhere close to the voice and talent that Dame Shirley Bassey possesses, Shirley's performance in this video at the Royal Albert Hall 1974 is far more better than one of beyonce's elaborate provocative performances.

No comparison at all to Shirley Bassey. Tina will be forgotten, and probably has already been forgotten, once she permanently stops performing.

    I had no idea. I heard this song first as a middle schooler. I had no idea how amazing the singer really was, even though even then, I knew that this was a substantial talent heard on the radio.
    But her live performance? Awesome. That presence. That play. That theatre. Wow.
    I would put this on my top ten movie soundtrack songs, maybe even in the top 5.
    Maybe even into the top three, but the competition is fierce.
    Shirley, you turned out to be a force. One I never knew (beyond this song.)
