In addition to the Shirley Bassey and The Platters versions of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", there was an effort by the Jerry Garcia Band in the 1990's that was featured in a film I believe called "Coffee and Cigarettes". The video features an appearance by actress Ashley Judd, who is hanging out with Jerry and the band in a "smokey" bar.
Comedy, yes. Shirley Bassey might be best known for singing "Goldfinger", the title song to the 1964 James Bond film of the same name. "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" was written in the 1930s, but the top version of it was recorded by The Platters in 1959.
Sorry guys! Couldn't resist misleading you a little for the sake of a giggle. She is, of course, elegant as always, as I said she would be. But DSB has such a great sense of humour and is a good sport. In those days, it was rare for a big star to be on a comedy show - as part of the comedy! Which made it all the funnier. Thanks for playing it. I needed a laugh today!
Haha, no worries! Glad we could bring a smile to your face. it's awesome to see big stars with such a great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing the laugh with us! 😊🎉
We understand! Sometimes the audio on older live recordings or certain videos can be a bit off, especially with too much reverb or poor mixing. It can make it harder to fully appreciate the performance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts-We’ll keep that in mind And look for better audio videos in the future!

The audio on some of the videos you watch sounds awful at times. Far too much reverb.
