    What's amazing about this particular concert is that it is less than two years after her daughter tragically passed due to mysterious circumstances. She actually lost her voice as she tried to come back too soon. She stepped out on stage to hit the first note.....and nothing! She then returned to England and contacted a classical artist who was working as a vocal coach. Basically, her throat was raw, AND she needed more time to grieve. But, she also was told that she was not singing through her diaphragm, which was giving her throat greater difficulty singing live day by day in conerts. She took the coaches recommendations, and in the process she discovered she had another octave in her voice! Before 1985, she had not received any vocal coaching.

    You must react to her singing a Beatles cover 'Something' it was written by George Harrison and DSB blows it out of the water. There is no comparison between the original and her version. A good version on YT is Shirley Bassey - SOMETHING (1973 TV Special)

  • @chaiyehovah7031

    Thanks so much for reacting to her. Shirley Bassey has one of the greatest voices of all time. Her live performances are incredible. She is the only person to ever be asked to sing more than one James Bond Theme Song: Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, and Moonraker. When she sings Diamonds are Forever and Goldfinger in the sea green sequined dress, it is almost unbelievable. As someone already mentioned, she sang Diamonds are Forever at 85 years old and still had power. She was one of the first Black persons (male or female) to have her own TV variety show here in America. She is phenomenal. I do hope you will check some of her other live performances as well.

    She is a Dame of the British Empire
    so she is Dame Shirley Bassey
    but professionally actors and singers
    usually only use their name
    so Dame Shirley Bassey will appear
    on posters and CDs as Shirley Bassey
    So Patrick Stewart - Picard in Star Trek
    is actually Sir Patrick Stewart etc.

    Dame is equivalent to Sir which is awarded by our King or previously by our late Queen Elizabeth, but for charity work alongside what someone has bought into their chosen industry, if you skip forward I think last year age 85 Dame Shirley preformed this at The Royal Albert Hall live in the theatre and TV audience
    BTW Dr Brian May is now Dr Sir Brian May newly knighted for his contribution to the industry and organisations and charities

    Not only was shirley the greatest female vocalist to come from britain, she was the greatest female vocalist in the entire world. She was Welsh and from poor roots, same as another Welshman Tom Jones, who lived in a poor coal mining community. Before madonna, beyonce, rhianna, shirley bassey could outsing them, and also was a beatiful woman.

    I don't know whether or not someone has previously mentioned this, but Dame Shirley and the other great Vagas star Sir Tom Jones, were born and raised just twenty miles apart in South Wales. Sir Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Burton, and Roald Dahl were also from this small corner of Wales.

She was pisted he didn't seek her permission to use it. But she probably got paid anyway. 😅 She's not Britains Greatest selling female singer in history for nothing.
