She's 85? She doesn't look or sound a day over 60. She's beautiful and sounds great. I hope we look like that her age. Haa ha. Imma gonna start exercising tomorrow.
@@davepage8080 I adore Cleo but she wasn't a belter like Shirley. Cleo still had a fabulous voice but Shirley has power and projection that at almost 86 years old is staggering
She is and always will be the voice of Bond. It's an incredible gift that she's still with us and able to knock these very difficult songs out of the park!
She should change her name from Shirley Bassey to 'The One'. She's 85 and she looks and sounds great. She can still hit the high notes with no vocal wobble. I'd pay to fly around the world to see her in concert again.
I once had the honour of attending one of her concerts at Hampton Court. We had Vip front row seats and those winks she gave us,still live strong in the memory. Dame Shirley is nothing short of a legend. We ❤ you.
As a Welsh person we are very, very proud of our Shirley. Along with Tom Jones they are the greatest to come out of our country. Love your story Neil. She's a sweetheart.
I met her once too Neil after a Carnegie Hall concert in 1985; Despite getting back on the road weeks after her younger daughters tragic drowning death, she was nice to me & stopped to greet me before getting into her limo, gave me a handshake, got a kiss in, and a few words exchanged with an autograph & I still have it framed. She's the most versatile fenale singer I've ever heard and my favorite !!
True class. Todays singers are cheap and pithy! She is a true Dame in every way. Next to the Queen, rest in peace, my favorite. Thank you for everything.
@@danielmorse6597 WHAT DID YOU SAY DANIELMORSE - "CHEAP PITHY" ?! HOW DARE YOU MAKE SO MUCH COMMON SENSE WHEN SO MANY OBVIOUSLY UNTALENTED WOMEN AND EVEN SOME TALENTED ONES IN THE INDUSTRY PREFER TO PUSH THIER BIG TITS, BUTTS (especially artificial) OR DEBASED VULGAR MOUTHS IN OUR FACES INSTEAD TODAY? WITH VULGARITY, HINTS AT SATANIC DEMONISM AND GROSS SEXUAL IMMORALITY SO COMMON HOW ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT SUCH "STERLING ROLE MODELS" LIKE: LIZZO, CARDI B, MEGAN THEE STALLION, NIKKI MENAJ, MADONNA, OR GRACE JONES etc etc etc TO ENTERTAIN US TODAY? OR BE GOOD ROLE MODELS FOR UP AND COMING YOUNG WOMEN - WHEN THE DECENCY AND TRUE CLASS OF A LIVING LEGEND LIKE DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY REQUIRES A LOVE OF SELFRESPECT & SHAMEFULLY THIS MEANS NOTHING TO THEM IN PLACE OF FAME AND MONEY. LONG LIVE THE DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY !
To be fair it has aged, compare Goldfinger in this video to the original in 1964 BUT, it is even more remarkable now...some voices age well & some don't, Shirley's is probably the best example of the former...fantastic performer.
She could be just chilling at home enjoying her retirement but being on stage is her life. What an absolute legend and powehouse, Dame Shirley is one of a kind.
Dona SHIRLEY A SENHORA É UM ARRASO TOTAL. ARRASTA TUDO NAS MÚSICAS DE BOND E DE TANTAS OUTRAS!!,MEU DEUS!!QUE VITALIDADE!!PARABÉNS PARA TODOS OS SEUS DIAS...
I got the privilege to see her live once in my life, I was close to the stage. I will remember it forever. As a Bond fan my whole life, the music makes Bond. I will always love her.
So good to watch this again. I was there and the atmosphere was totally electric. The ovations she received before, during and after her performance were phenomenal. I feel blessed to have witnessed this wonderful woman "live".
Appearance wise, Bassey personifies the term 'aging gracefully'. Vocally, she can still belt like Bassey in her prime which is remarkable given her age.
Diamonds (and divas) are indeed forever. Had the pleasure to see DSB years ago here in Brussels. Absolutely fabulous. And she still has it all: the range, the wit and grace.
At her later stage of life, her power and control are UNBELIEVABLE!! In a world where labels are thrown around too easily, Ms. Bassey is the true meaning of an ‘icon’.
Superb! She is in a league of her own. I can’t think of any singer that has preserved her signature sound like she has. She should get so much more recognition than she does, not just in the UK.
ABSOLUTELY MICHAELFULK ! I'VE BEEN A MAJOR FAN OF HERS SINCE 1976, MET HER ONCE OUTSIDE OF CARNEGIE HALL AS THE ONLY FAN WHO WAITED A LONG TIME AFTER A CONCERT IN LATE 1985 - GOT AN AUTOGRAPH & A KISS - AND I'VE NEVER WASHED MY FACE SINCE 🤣. SHE'S OVERALL ASTOUNDING AND VERSATILE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY OVER THE YEARS TRUE SINGERS LIKE HER WITH REAL TALENT HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED A LOT FOR OTHERS WHO CAN'T REALLY SING OR CAN ONLY SHAKE THIER BIG BUTTS TO RHYTHM OR JUST BE VULGAR - SAD.
Streisand is still great. In her Hyde Park concert of 2019 she faltered slightly (perhaps the roaring, chattering crowd interfered w her sensitive hearing), but she was back in fine form for her later Chicago & New York performances on that mini-tour. Still, neither vocalist is at her apex - the human voice peaks c. 35 years of age & sometimes hangs on a decade longer - and I am truly grateful these two phenomenal singers have blessed us as long as they have...
P. S. Not to mention that, as Joni Mitchell wrote, something's lost - and something's gained - in living every day... These two wonderful women's interpretive skills sparkle on...
I sure as hell would want to see her perform. Hope she comes to Canada she’s on my bucket list. Her voice is so powerful and she has full command of it. Amazing, 🇨🇦
I REALLY REALLY wish she would too especially for folks like yourself who've never seen her live in concert. But she's elderly now and semi-retired from the touring days. Enjoy those videos. I've seen her 10 times in concert, you can NEVER get enough of her !!
She is beyond impressive. She and Tom Jones broke the “old” mold of people thinking singers lose their edge as they age. Their voices are their instrument, and both keep them well tuned.
1955 as a cabin boy on the Heysham to Belfast ferry, Shirley was traveling to perform at the Opera theatre Belfast; she and her manager sat up ; all night in tourist class, could'nt afford a cabin'. So in the morning I made her a mug of tea before disembarking. I was in Australia in January 2956 when I read her talent was discovered, arriving in Liverpool in April 1956 Shirley was performing at the Liverpool Empire; her first song she sang was "From this moment on". Shirley is a Diva, though what a talent.
Oooo what beautyfull what beautyfull shirley bassey and this wiht 85 years so a beautyfull lady a real diva i love shirley bassey her voice and as dame gr Jeffrey verspaget from the netherlands xxxx 🍀🌞☕️😘🌴🙏🙏🐈
Impressionnant ,meveilleux ,grandiose ...Dame S.B. a cette voix performante même à une age avancée ,on ne peut que s'incliner devant cette icone.Merci d'avoir partager
She is my female favorite, definitely The Queen of "Classical Pop" Vocals as she's referred to her musical repertoire - there's no one as versatile as she. Britain's Greatest female singer ever !! But it would be even greater to have her sing some of her other great songs from "The Rhythm Devine" to "The Living Tree". She's usually always is requested to sing "Goldfinger" or "Diamonds are Forever".
I SAW MISS BASSEY AT THE KENNEDY CENTER IN THE EARLY 1970'S AND SEEING THIS VIDEO AND HER AT 85, SHE.STILL SOUNDS THE.SAME, THAT VOICE, CAN'T BELIEVE IT SOUNDS THE SAME TODAY! LONG LIVE MISS BASSEY ! ❤❤❤❤
The greatest concert voice this country has ever produced, is finally showing frailty but make no mistake, she remains a titanic talent with a voice that could sweep all before it.
Ms. Bassey is still beautiful after all these years and she is also still a great singer. I always loved her voice and I still love her. Greatness is a great thing when it is entrusted to the right person and Ms. Bassey is that person. ❤
For a power singer like Shirley to get out there at 85 and still belt out these songs is remarkable.
Some of these so called singing stars of today should take note on how to sing, Shirley knocks the spots off today singers😃😃😃
She will be 86 in January. Yes, at 85 is truly amazing.
100%
Elle est magnifique!!!
She's 85? She doesn't look or sound a day over 60. She's beautiful and sounds great. I hope we look like that her age. Haa ha. Imma gonna start exercising tomorrow.

And hold it!!!! WOW!!!!!
Genial.iiiFantastica.iii👏👏👏👏👏
She's a fantastic singer!!❤️
Queen of song ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

At her prime...it means to say clean living❤️❤️❤️ a very gorgeous dame 🥳😍🤩🥰💚
I honestly cannot think of another singer who still has THAT voice at such an age. Incredible!
A rare Diamond indeed 💎 Dame Shirley
Cleo Laine?
Engelbert Humperdinck. Not quite this powerful, but then again he never was. He never sang opra, mostly love songs and his voice is still great at 86

Wow, who else can sing like that at the age of 85?! Outstanding performance and she can definitely go on for a while yet.

85 year old Shirley Bassey singing better than other singers in their 20's and 30's. Dame said "That's how it's done."
..the standing ovation was well deserved.. the one and only....
Dame Shirley Bassey
At 85 y.o. she is absolutely gorgeous.
Absolutely unbelievable. Her voice has not aged.
To be fair it has aged, compare Goldfinger in this video to the original in 1964 BUT, it is even more remarkable now...some voices age well & some don't, Shirley's is probably the best example of the former...fantastic performer.
It has aged just like the more exquisite fine wine to perfection 🎉🎉🎉😊❤❤
agree. of course it has aged. just different. more mature, caring and speaks to you??? To me anyway.
Well, maybe just a little bit. But God I love her. We are so blessed to still have her.
Simply unbelievable. There is no-one like her.
Still in a league of her own… at 85 years old. Absolutely astounding. 🏴❤️
Still so much depth and power in her voice even at this age. Impressive
That last “gold“ note will never not come to her naturally! Bravo!
A CLASS act always! I was 7 years old when I went to see Goldfinger in the Theater . 60 years later I’m still enjoying this live!
Her power and control are astonishing….especially given a somewhat mature age. Incredible as always. Thanks for sharing.
Lady Shirley Bassey will always be incredible! Awesome
A magnificent performance , she is so beautiful and remarkable !!
WORD !!!!
Absolutely ❤🎉
She could be just chilling at home enjoying her retirement but being on stage is her life. What an absolute legend and powehouse, Dame Shirley is one of a kind.
I simply love the way she sings - the expressiveness and the gestures.
I can't never think of bond songs without thinking of this awesome phenomenal lady.

She must have a portrait of a old lady in her attic… she is amazing. More power to her a true original .
She is a great lady,l hear her since lwas 16,she is lovely,her music ,splendic!
She still has this very special loveliness in her face. What a wonderful singer & amazing Lady she is.

This is amazing! The quality is still there even at 85. What a woman
The real beauty of music is forever!!!
Music is life!!!
Thank God for Shirley's voice as such and inspiration 🙌 🙏 ❤️
I could listen to this forever !!!!
Dame Shirley - the biggest Diva back in the day and now at 85 still the biggest Diva
🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a pro! You can see that she understands exactly what she can and can’t hit, and she uses that to craft the performance 👍
This is a fantastic comment and exactly what I was thinking
Was thinking may have had a cold.
No cold her professionalism regarded her age and the heights she could have taken her voice a true Dame ❤her
Powerful as ever, and STILL THE BEST!
Perfection, from Wales and a career spanning decades, Iconic woman, still a stunning performance ❤
I hope she is around for many more years. Be a sad day like it was when I heard Angela Lansbury passed when she goes. Still an amazing range.
My goodness, can she still sing! Great. God bless you Dame Shirley.
OMG!!! Fabulous!! I would have wished to be there.. a magical moment.!! Still rolling great Dame
The one, the only, pure gold and diamond diva.
At her later stage of life, her power and control are UNBELIEVABLE!!
In a world where labels are thrown around too easily, Ms. Bassey is the true meaning of an ‘icon’.
Wow… she’s sooo brilliant.. Her voice has aged so beautifully. I love this woman. Here’s to many more performances by DSB ❤❤❤
There's only and can only be one Dame Shirley Bassey.. she has been my idol for decades! She is just marvelous! 💯👏❤️
What a beautiful voice! So powerful..cant believe she's in her 80's!
A living legend. Our Shirley. 💞

Still a class act, love her. Seen her in person a few times and always was great.
