First it was Foreigner then Leela James and now Shirley Bassey that I listened to in that order. Powerful voices but her's even more. Simply love Shirley Bassey.❤❤❤
Hello Everyone...just saw this for the first time...oh my goodness!!!!...her voice...this is such a powerful performance, so much so, that tears were falling from my eyes...such a powerful voice...thank you Beautiful Woman... thank you Dame Shirley Bassey
The wonderful thing about RUclips is that people so many times stumble on great vocalist/performers that they never knew before. Dame Shirley Bassey is a one-of-a-kind performer with exceptional vocal abilities, and she started back in 1953!! She is the only artists who has recorded more than one James Bond Theme Song soundtrack; Shirley has done three. And, in 2001 she was inducted into the Guinness Book of World records for being the largest selling female artist from the United Kingdom, and to this day that achievement has not been surpassed. Yes, even with Adele. Now in her 80's, Bassey still performs, appears on TV Shows, and attends many charity events. She still is a beautiful lady, and he voice has aged like fine wine! Her vibrant/high fidelity voice has changed over the decades, but what has remained is that it always has been magnificent, no matter what the decade. I have uploaded over 950 recordings and/or Live performances such as this one. enjoy! Regards, Scot
From the moment this girl goes on the stage, any stage; she owns it. Then when she starts to sing; there really is no way to describe what you feel. Shirley Bassey, for me; is the greatest entertainer in the world. The snippet here from Cardiff is great. If you get the chance to watch the DVD concert; it is only half of what she did that night. Like many others I was there. Thank you for your music Shirley; and the memories of all your concerts I saw.
Courtney: You have a very good ear for music. Over the last 65+ years in the business Dame Shirley has been able to change up arrangements, and her vocal style to match the times. But, this can only happen for vocalists who have such abilities to adjust their vibrato, timber, and nuances to be able to pull it off. What has never changed from the 50's to the 2000's is her vocal perfection at all pitch levels within her substantial range, and her ability to hit and hold amazingly high fidelity notes. She started as a full soprano, but over the years after performing in smoke filled halls, she is not considered somewhere between alto and mezzo soprano, and can adjust it based on the song. Now in her 80's Dame Shirley can STILL hit and hold all the notes within both. An amazing accomplishment for her. Regards, Scot
I have seen her 4 times live. She Always delivers. She doesn't play around with the song like Whitney Houston did when I saw her live in the UK 1990s. I suppose they are all good in there own zone. But Shirley Bassey'style I love.
I dedicate this song to my best friend I lost. She used to share this song with me the original version but this one interpretation filled my heart with memories. RIP Jeanny Martinez Tirú
Although Ive heard the Original 80's Classic more than a Thousand times...n have it imprinted in my Brain. In spite of that... I dunno why...but this Bond-ish styled Arrangement of hers keeps giving me Goosebumps every time I hear it. Dunno what it is, maybe its the arrangement or her signature powerful vocal mannerisms. Maybe its because she takes her time in the verses (opting to complete the phrase on the alternate line - ignoring the originals tempo). Whatever the reason, I love her rendition!!! :D :D
Take a look at Shirley's 1998 live version of this song; it's also great!! Dame Shirley Bassey is a very unique performer, and this is what makes her so special. She is very dramatic with hand, arm and eye motions as she sings, so she doesn't just sing the notes, she acts out the song giving real emotion to the performance. With that said, it wouldn't work unless a vocalist has the pipes to go with it. Bassey's vocal abilities are outstanding, and she has only gotten better with age. She is now 80 years old, and just take a look at her recent rendition of 'I Am What I Am' from her TV special that aired on December 24th, 2016. An incredible vocalist she is, STILL!
ThreeMinutes: We all hope that Shirley will, once again, do a world tour. But, it's not easy to do world tours when you are approaching 80 years old. Today, she stays more close to home when performing live. In fact, I think she will be performing live in the UK with the Group Blake sometime this summer. With that said, Shirley probably has toured the world more times than just about any other vocalist. Over the decades, I've seen her in the USA at least a dozen times or more. In recent years, when she does come to the USA, Dame Shirley usually has performed in NYC. Regards, Scot
Yes, I totally understand her touring close to home. Even though I absolutely love her music, I've never seen her live in concert and so hope a USA tour comes to fruition. I'm so jealous of the UK for having her. :) She is truly a diamond gift to the world, and still so FABULOUS!!!! Love Dame Shirley Bassey!!!! Thanks for reply Scott! Always a thumbs up for videos on this channel! :)

Es tremenda, acá en Santa Fe, Argentina hace mucho calor y esto me está dando escalofríos
What she sings is the emanation of her inner conversations.
I love the heaviness of the arrangement, it adds so much seriousness and drama and just gravitas to the song, and her voice fits so well with that
O yes, you got it!
What a voice , what a performance , she has become a national treasure .Nobody but nobody does it quite like this Dame .
She’s what you call the consummate performer and entertainer
At 4:25 when the horns come in and she belts it out...that’s the best part of the song. Makes me start to tear up every time!

This is utterly beautiful
Perfection
Shirley Bassey is the greatest

She is the singer who has old and modern voice. The era of voice transitons into old to modern..I could hear it

@@sas9023055 Thank you, Scot!
Dame Shirley Bassey is the best female singer this world has seen.
This is how you end a show!
And, then Shirley comes back with the songs, This Is My life, and I Am What I Am (One one clip). Check it out!
I have seen her 4 times live. She Always delivers. She doesn't play around with the song like Whitney Houston did when I saw her live in the UK 1990s. I suppose they are all good in there own zone. But Shirley Bassey'style I love.
Adrenaline flows when she sings
Such powerful voice. She feels each word she sings.
I ' ve been listening her for about 40 years, and today is like the first time. She is wonderfull and the time doesn 't pass through her!!

She made a new album " I owe it al to you " A very good one. The voice is still Wonderfull.

Does anyone know if Dame Shirley Bassey will be in the U.S. for concerts?

Excellent. Will you sing in my animated movie? I wrote frozen and Moana all the songs. I'm pitch perfect. + to many songs to mention. From a fan.
Lol it's funny no one can sing this like Lou Gramm but she actually sings it with power unlike the shit covers today
De at
This is a singing lesson for the other wannabees....
