1998: Bassey Magic Powerful Vocal Control! Here is yet another performance of one of Shirley's signature songs, "Goldfinger" All of her performances are great, but this one is exceptional. The musical arrangement is slightly different, but Shirley's pitch and vocal power are right on the mark! That last note, (Hold it....Hold it...)!!

1976: This song was recorded on Shirley's 1967, "And We Were Lovers" Album. Jacques Brel wrote the original musical score and French Lyrics; Rod McKuen wrote the English Lyrics, and in my opinion, of all the artists who have recorded this song in English, Shirley Bassey's rendition is the absolute best! Thank-You Jacques Brel for writing such a beautiful melody!

1973: "Diamonds Are Forever" was released as a single in 1972 and the Movie came out in 1971. This 1973 Performance just may be the first time Shirley has performed this on Video. It is interesting how she has changed her singing style of this song over the years.

1976: The ending to this one is nothing less than UNBELIEVABLY STUNNING! This song was recorded on Shirley's 1959, "The Fabulous Shirley Bassey" Album and she often held this one as her ending number in the 70's. BRAVO! IT'S BASSEY BRAVADO AT HER VERY BEST!

2001: There are many videos of Shirley performing "Hey Big Spender" but I think this one is unique, and many people outside of the UK probably have not seen it. Prince Philip's 80th Birthday Celebration. The woman is ageless, and is dressed to the nine's for this special occasion!

Here in 1987 Shirley performs the ORIGINAL ARRANGEMENT of "I Am What I Am" as recorded and released on her 1984 Album of the same title. I like this arrangement and so I'm glad that Shirley performed this version on several occasions in the 1980's.

1979: "What are you doing the rest of your life" ...with Michel Legrand on the Piano fits Shirley's voice perfectly. "Till" was originally recorded by Shirley in the early 60's. After ten years the song was dusted off and she sang this song with a newer, faster arrangement in the 70's. Either way, it's great music!
