Shirley is not great. She is beyond greatness, and she stands alone on her pedestal of superstars. She is majestic and amazing to watch and hear. There is nobody like her.
So much sass, she would have made a great actor as well as a stupendous singer. A wonderful all rounder, she can sing anything. In her eighties she is still around. She is a British national treasure.
This lady was a DIVA that rose from poverty! She not only had a powerful voice that made it into the charts for many decades, she also possessed class, elegance and sex appeal. You did well with this, Royce! Bravo to you too!
What do you mean she not only HAD a powerful voice? Watch her 2022 BAFTA performance from just the other day. At 85, this lady puts many a young star to shame with her voice.
@@TheCornishCockney I give Live and Let Die the edge for the music, but Goldfinger I like better for the vocals and lyrics. Both are awesome songs though.
She was having fun, but still very professional. She cut that like, 58 years ago! Either she was an infant, or she has taken care of herself and her voice very well. Thanks!
The great Bassey! Fairly certain she was born Puerto Rican, brought to Tiger Bay as baby! Dominates the stage with ease! Terrific presence! She started the hands/fingers thing early!
I see so much of Dame Shirley in RAYE, the classic style, the charisma, the amazing vocals... My wish is for Raye to record a bond soundtrack one day, she is PERFECT for it
Shirley sang this at the 2013 Oscars during a salute to James Bond. She was 76 and brought down the house. It was literally phenomenal. By the way, Adele sang Skyfall too but she couldn’t touch Dame Shirley Bassey.
My Mother took me to see this Beautiful Lady live in 1978, I was 10yrs old and I fell in love.x her voice and please watch interviews she's done, because Shirley Bassey has a Brilliant great sense of humor.x Stay Strong Beautiful People and Cheer's Loving this Channel 🇬🇧
Shirley Bassey is a Welsh legend, she has said in an interview that 8n a recording studio she actually passed out on occasions when hitting the high notes.
It was one of the most brilliant performances ever done, with kudos to the orchestra, as well as to Miss Bassey. ❤❤ Be sure to listen to the studio version!
I think she is the only one to ever sing two bond songs. Thanks for the live version, never seen it. The other was DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. Love your reviews, especially the Righteous Brothers
Turned on to jazz by my father at an early age, my mother couldn't understand my infatuation with Shirley Bassey, it's as if she thought Shirley might take me away somehow. Unfortunately, she never came looking for me.
The ultimate in 1950s/60s-style nightclub glitz and decadence. Love the bit where she breaks character after the kissing-the-shoulder bit, and laughs with the audience at how ridiculously over-the-top the whole thing is.
Who else smiled when she said 'the Welsh that I've heard before sing with so much power', thinking Rogue, you are about to hear the entire Nuclear Power Plant right here ;)
Shirley is it! She was probably the most famous singer in the world once upon a time. Sassy and talented beyond words. The Royals love her and gave her the "Dame" title to honor her brilliance. She is still knocking them dead to this day. Superstar!!!
Can we have more Shirley please….. “Something “…….”Never never never “ … I who have nothing”……. “Till”….” I am what I am”……” This is my life”. Thank you.
2.7K likes! Dame Shirley Bassey's vocal power is undeniable, and legendary. "Diamonds Are Forever" by John Barry featuring Shirley Bassey is my favorite Bond theme.
Nice to see our Shirley on a reaction. Beautiful Welsh girl from Tiger Bay in Cardiff. She also sang the theme tunes to two other Bond films 'Diamonds are Forever' and 'Moonraker'.
Shirls theatrical style, complimented her voice, as a little kid when she came on the tv if we weren't all there me Mum would call out, 'Shirley's on', or me Dad would shout 'Berley Shassey's' on...😂
Actually she sang four. The tune was Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It was originally intended for the Bond epic, THUNDERBALL. It’s was recorded but never released. Until the 30th anniversary James Bond 2cd compilation (1992). It’s also on Utube! Check it Out!!!!!!
Rogue R. your commentary on Ms. Bassey’s performance was so spot on, there is nothing to add. I enjoyed your genuine reaction, and I am getting more into your musical assessments of my favorite performers. Keep up the good work.
Dame Shirley...Devine National Treasure! Try her singing 'Diamonds are forever ', another Bond song. She is the only singer, so far, to have recorded 3 Bond songs. 'My way' is pretty spectacular too and 'Hey Jude' in front of our royals I think!😁💕
The Girl from Tiger Bay. Her first ever hit - at 19 - was banned for play on the BBC. "Burn my candle" is around on RUclips. Love that song and the young Shirley. But she is forever the voice of Bond.

@@gtaylor331 Well done. ; )

She still is a Diva
The girl from Tiger Bay
No one could sing that song like Shirley Bassey… absolutely love her!
Moonraker is the other song she did amazingly well too. What a voice!
I can't live (if living is without you) from this concert makes me need to take a walk after listening to it. Always on 11. More is more.
@@erichernandez3846 Ken lee?
check this cover....she is amazing! ruclips.net/video/3LrzKmoOBbg/видео.html
@@robertthomas7580 Shirley Bassey also sang Diamonds Are Forever........
She is still happily with us
She also sang diamonds are forever and moonraker 3 bond films
Born 13 miles from Tom Jones, 3 years earlier. There's something in the water in South Wales.
Luckily, miles away from Severn Trent then, LOL.
@@sidscrote7570😂😂
Probably the most iconic James Bond song. Great reaction.
Great yes,but for me,Live and Let Die is top.
@@TheCornishCockney I give Live and Let Die the edge for the music, but Goldfinger I like better for the vocals and lyrics. Both are awesome songs though.
Agree with “Goldfinger” being the most iconic Bond title song, but I also enjoy Nancy Sinatra’s “You only Live Twice”.
You hit it right when you said CLASS!
Nobody does it better by carly Simon, for me.
She was having fun, but still very professional. She cut that like, 58 years ago! Either she was an infant, or she has taken care of herself and her voice very well. Thanks!
no tricks just Shirley Bassey and orchestra such as stage presence.
The great Bassey! Fairly certain she was born Puerto Rican, brought to Tiger Bay as baby! Dominates the stage with ease! Terrific presence! She started the hands/fingers thing early!
I saw the documentary about her life, and it says she is half English, half Nigerian.
@@deborahbryan3639 All woman🏴
‘Burley Chassis’ as she was dubbed, was a massive performer with a huge voice. A U.K. National Treasure.
I see so much of Dame Shirley in RAYE, the classic style, the charisma, the amazing vocals... My wish is for Raye to record a bond soundtrack one day, she is PERFECT for it
Shirley Bassey is a timeless gem. The Welsh lass from Swansea knows how to sing these wonderful songs.
She’s from Cardiff actually.
She is in her 80s now and still has the same voice ...she did another bond theme tune diamonds are forever....a one off
Shirley is like The Boss Of Bosses Diva Of Divas Untouchable Period 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀😃🙂
Shirley sang this at the 2013 Oscars during a salute to James Bond. She was 76 and brought down the house. It was literally phenomenal. By the way, Adele sang Skyfall too but she couldn’t touch Dame Shirley Bassey.
It was an astounding performance by DSB.
skyfall`s theme was terrible along with the execution. Dame Shirley knocked it out of the park.
Dnt compare Shirley to Adele😩😩…Shirley is everything
But Adele also wrote Skyfall. Dame Shirley sang last year at age 85 & was brilliant. Hit those notes with ease.
The Best song james bond ever , the legendary shirley bassey
it's not just singing, it's a show
You should check out her performance at the 2022 Bafta awards 50 years after she recorded this song. Incredibly she sings even better.

My favourite Shirley Bassey songs are Never Never Never, Dangerous Game and Diamonds are Forever.
I just love her nickname, Burly Chassis... Always makes me chuckle.
Shirley Bassey is a Welsh legend, she has said in an interview that 8n a recording studio she actually passed out on occasions when hitting the high notes.
Wow ... it seems like it was 1,000's of years ago, when this number was popular ..... time is such an an enigma ...
It was one of the most brilliant performances ever done, with kudos to the orchestra, as well as to Miss Bassey. ❤❤
Be sure to listen to the studio version!
Welcome to Shirley Bassey's world!
This is James bond..best bond song of all time
she certainly did have attitude - great voice - great personality
Probably the best Bond song ever!!!
Dame Shirley rocks!
The iconic Shirley Bassey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only artist invited to sing 2 Bond songs. Says it all
3
I think she is the only one to ever sing two bond songs. Thanks for the live version, never seen it. The other was DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. Love your reviews, especially the Righteous Brothers
Absolute masterclass …… dame Shirley Bassey at her best and what a great orchestra she had there!
A world wide superstar loved by tge world she lives in monaco french riviera super wealthy
Turned on to jazz by my father at an early age, my mother couldn't understand my infatuation with Shirley Bassey, it's as if she thought Shirley might take me away somehow.
Unfortunately, she never came looking for me.
Shirley Bassey is my favorite singer. Please listen to, "Love you hate you" it will blow you away. Nobody does it better! Please
I really appreciate this. This lady lady is legendary. I'm a new subscriber. Thanks
I'm pilipino sherrll is nice Singer nice voice Very Classic Brilliant ❤❤❤ nice
Dame Shirley ...... a British icon and legend, Still with us !
Great reaction, so many more good Shirley songs, The Living tree! my all time favourite.
You should do other songs by Shirley Bassey including Diamonds are Forever, History Repeating.
fantastic there is only one Shirley Bassey
Shirley bassey / Tom Jones both great singers both from Wales ...must be something in the water X 😁
It's all the mountains we have to traverse giving us lungs of steel :)
Someone should tell the Welsh football team.
Don't forget Sir Harry
Secombe
Even when you lot talk,it sounds like you're singing.
It's the fiery Welsh spirit is what it is.
Shirley has got a voice that could split wood!
A great talent and a classy lady.
I've never heard a funnier, or more perfect, description of her voice. She freakin' KILLED this song!
Welcome to the real world of singing.. were they sing with all their heart and talent from the feet up... , real voice ,, pure choice
The best
Wow! She sounded good... but this performance puts her over the Top !!!
Shirley Bassey just ooooozes with class!!!
You should check out when she did this song for the classic Britt awards in 2011 she was 74 and still awesome if not better.
Love Shirley Bassey!! To hear one of the most dramatic songs she ever sang, check out the classic "I Who Have Nothing." Perfection!
This is a true definition of a Bond song.
She's still doing it :)
You can see why the Queen gave her a knighthood. So beautiful.
Without a doubt, a true Diva before we knew what a Diva was.
Only singer to sing three of the Bond movie themes. Incomparable Dame Shirley Bassey.
I think she is the only artist that has done multiple bond theme songs.
My dad took me to see the Bond movies as a little kid and I found Shirley strangely interesting.
Shirley Bassey is a very exciting performer. She did other themes too Diamonds are Forever, Moonnraker, The Liquidator.
Dame Shirley just needed herself on stage. She's always the complete package!
There's only one Shirley Bassey, she has some fabulous songs, massive star 🌟
Theres an early clip of her with Anthony Newley and she blows him off the stage.
She sang the most Bond songs.
The ultimate in 1950s/60s-style nightclub glitz and decadence. Love the bit where she breaks character after the kissing-the-shoulder bit, and laughs with the audience at how ridiculously over-the-top the whole thing is.
My favorite part too!
Her kissing herself wasn't a statement of "self-affection" the slight laugh afterwards pretty much made that point.
Who else smiled when she said 'the Welsh that I've heard before sing with so much power', thinking Rogue, you are about to hear the entire Nuclear Power Plant right here ;)
Listen to NEVER NEVER NEVER SHE BELTS IT OUT 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
There was NO OTHER time to be alive like the 60s and 70s ....... case in point MS BASSEY !!
She is the best sing ever
My mum loved her , sang her songs too she loved her sassiness
Wow... that's what I call entertainment.
Shirley is it! She was probably the most famous singer in the world once upon a time. Sassy and talented beyond words. The Royals love her and gave her the "Dame" title to honor her brilliance. She is still knocking them dead to this day. Superstar!!!
Jazz at it's best.
Can we have more Shirley please….. “Something “…….”Never never never “ … I who have nothing”……. “Till”….” I am what I am”……” This is my life”.
Thank you.

"Diamonds Are Forever" by John Barry featuring Shirley Bassey is my favorite Bond theme.
I can't stop laughing. What a performance. Sweet reaction.
i would like to recomend Shirley Bassey Diamonds are forever (1922 BAFTAs) the lady is 85 years old on this performance and is FANTASTIC
Nice to see our Shirley on a reaction. Beautiful Welsh girl from Tiger Bay in Cardiff. She also sang the theme tunes to two other Bond films 'Diamonds are Forever' and 'Moonraker'.
Like I said.....Shirley Bassey...the queen of the divas......
I remember her when I was young. Crushing HARD!
Love you sista from a russian brother))))
I saw her on the Graham Norton show. I think it was in the last couple of years or so but was still very sharp very witty and funny.
Shirls theatrical style, complimented her voice, as a little kid when she came on the tv if we weren't all there me Mum would call out, 'Shirley's on', or me Dad would shout 'Berley Shassey's' on...😂
Dame Shirley Bassey sang 3 bond songs,Goldfinger was a great movie you should watch it!
Yes, she did! Those were my James Bond movie days.
Actually she sang four. The tune was Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It was originally intended for the Bond epic, THUNDERBALL. It’s was recorded but never released. Until the 30th anniversary James Bond 2cd compilation (1992). It’s also on Utube! Check it Out!!!!!!
@@deacondavis5098 I never knew that! We’ll have to check it out.
Dame Shirley Bassey is STILL doin' it!! Reminds me of Nancy Wilson, not the very talented member of 'Heart', but the other Nancy Wilson.
The FIRST Nancy Wilson!
@@ErnieB Yes!!
WOW!
See Shirley's performance at Glastonbury.
Rogue R. your commentary on Ms. Bassey’s performance was so spot on, there is nothing to add. I enjoyed your genuine reaction, and I am getting more into your musical assessments of my favorite performers. Keep up the good work.
Still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck ! ❤❤❤
Good!!, I discovered this channel . Nice girls who react. I love this channel . Shirley is one of my favorites for many years
Diamonds are forever another James Bond song by Shirley bassey.
Dame Shirley...Devine National Treasure! Try her singing 'Diamonds are forever ', another Bond song. She is the only singer, so far, to have recorded 3 Bond songs. 'My way' is pretty spectacular too and 'Hey Jude' in front of our royals I think!😁💕
Voice aside, the kiss on the shoulder did it for me.
You gotta try her singing 'Diamonds Are Forever'... another Bond song.
Diamonds are Forever!!! Forever!!! Forever!!!
YESSSS!!!!
WOW such an amazing SONG!
The Girl from Tiger Bay. Her first ever hit - at 19 - was banned for play on the BBC. "Burn my candle" is around on RUclips. Love that song and the young Shirley. But she is forever the voice of Bond.
The very reason the bond theme is highly coveted!!
What a find/treasure.
Love this!! ❤👏🏽
In my opinion, “Goldfinger” was the best ever Bond movie.
Still is, it hasn´t vanished? ; )
she is a goddess for sure. Like Tom Jones she had her own tv show my parents used to love.
Wow !!! What an amazing performance and how original Shirley !!! Unique.
There was never any, white or Black with Shirley Bassey, everybody admired her. Class.
Dame Shirley - total class........
