I love Dame Shirley...and even now at 70 she still has a fabulous voice
Wonderful!
When I grow up, I'm going to be Shirley Bassey. And wear a jump suit without shame.
Great song! I love Shirley too. One of the great voices of our time.
Here's one of my favorites of hers, and it's fairly recent. Her cover of Pink's "Get This Party Started."
Brilliant!

That whole album is fab, Besty. Love her "Big Spender."
just bought from Amazon for like $10.99 a three disc set, "The best of" and it is simply amazing!
My first thought was that she makes it sound like a James Bond theme song, but then I realized that it DOES have music by John Barry...
Really cool, by the way.
I just watched Best12Bars link to her singing that "Party Started" song and I love it!
Just re-enforces a belief that I have that gets stronger with each passing year: that Age and Style trumps youth and energy, every time!
And here's Shirley singing "All That Jazz" with the "Chicago" dancers and showing a great pair of gams, too.

Watching these makes me wish that she had taken over for Chita in "Kiss of the Spider Woman"...
she is timeless.....and Europe realized it long before the US did....I rememebr going to hear her sing several times with every other gayguy in Frankfurt....LOVE HER!
"Watching these makes me wish that she had taken over for Chita in "Kiss of the Spider Woman"..."
Now, THAT would have been incredible.
