Shirley Bassey - Excuse Me (1973 TV Special)

REMASTERED CLIP - 1973 (All About Shirley TV Special)
This is an unique Richard & Don Addrisi Song, and, Shirley gives it her own uniquely emotional 'Bassey Stamp' - All About Shirley TV Special)
ABOUT this song:
The song, Excuse Me, is included on Shirley's 1971 EMI LP titled, 'Shirley Bassey - Something Else'.
In keeping with the title, Shirley Bassey's follow-up to her 1970 hit LP Something does indeed present a bit of a change of direction. In fact, it's a step back to her MOR dates of the mid-'60s; the album includes no recent rock standards, and the arrangements focus on full-orchestra symphonic pop with fewer nods to the contemporary scene. Though it didn't chart quite as high as its predecessor, it did make the Top Ten while her version of &"(Where Do I Begin) Love Story" hit the Top 40 in Britain. Most of the album is given over to large scale, dramatic pop songs -- &"It's Impossible," &"Bridge Over Troubled Water," &"Until It's Time to Go" -- best treated by a full-throated vocalist like Bassey. It's not quite as raucous or adventurous as Something, but it must've been an easier album to digest for Bassey fans from way back. John Bush, All Music Guide
LYRICS:
Excuse me..
But would you repeat that phrase
I could have sworn I heard you say
You don't care no more
Excuse me
But I can't believe my ears
You mean after all these years
You just don't care no more
You can't mean it
Please look at me and say
That we're really through
Oh I see it
Now you look at me that way
Suddenly I know it's true
Excuse me
I can't seem to find the door
And my feet don't find the floor
For my legs are numb and weak
And my throat 's too dry to speak
But my heart wants so to scream
For this nightmare's not a dream
You don't care no more
You don't care no more
You just don't
Care no more
ABOUT the LP, Something Else:
Following-up her comeback album Something, this proved to be almost as big when it too made the UK top 10, peaking at No.7. The album contained the hit single "(Where Do I Begin?) Love Story" as well as a non-charting second release "Breakfast in Bed". The success of this album and Shirley Bassey in general at this period saw a rush of compilations and older albums entering the UK charts in late 1971, with five albums appearing over the space of three months. In 1972, Bassey was the subject of This is Your Life where guest Liberace made mention of this album and in particular "Excuse Me".
