ABOUT this song:
"Hey Jude" is a song by the English rock band The Beatles. Credited to Lennon/McCartney, the ballad evolved from "Hey Jules," a song Paul McCartney wrote to comfort John Lennon's son Julian during his parents' divorce. "Hey Jude" begins with a verse-bridge structure based around McCartney's vocal performance and piano accompaniment; further instrumentation is added as the song progresses to distinguish sections. After the fourth verse, the song shifts to a fade-out coda that lasts for more than four minutes.
"Hey Jude" was released in August 1968 as the first single from the Beatles' record label Apple Records. More than seven minutes in length, "Hey Jude" was, at the time, the longest single ever to top the British charts.[2] It also spent nine weeks as number one in the United States-the longest run at the top of the American charts for a Beatles single, and broke the record for longest stay at #1 (until the record was beaten by "You Light Up My Life"). The single has sold approximately eight million copies and is frequently included on professional lists of the all-time best songs.
In 1968, John Lennon and his wife Cynthia Lennon separated due to John's affair with Yoko Ono. Soon afterwards, Paul McCartney drove out to visit Cynthia and Julian, her son with Lennon. "We'd been very good friends for millions of years and I thought it was a bit much for them suddenly to be personae non gratae and out of my life," McCartney said.[3] Cynthia Lennon recalled, "I was truly surprised when, one afternoon, Paul arrived on his own. I was touched by his obvious concern for our welfare.... On the journey down he composed 'Hey Jude' in the car. I will never forget Paul's gesture of care and concern in coming to see us."[4]
The song's original title was "Hey Jules", and it was intended to comfort Julian Lennon from the stress of his parents' divorce. McCartney said, "I started with the idea 'Hey Jules', which was Julian, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. Hey, try and deal with this terrible thing. I knew it was not going to be easy for him. I always feel sorry for kids in divorces ... I had the idea [for the song] by the time I got there. I changed it to 'Jude' because I thought that sounded a bit better."[3] Julian Lennon discovered the song had been written for him almost twenty years later. He remembered being closer to McCartney than to his father: "Paul and I used to hang about quite a bit-more than Dad and I did. We had a great friendship going and there seems to be far more pictures of me and Paul playing together at that age than there are pictures of me and my dad."[5]
Although McCartney originally wrote the song for Julian Lennon, John Lennon thought it had actually been written for him:
LYRICS As Shirley recorded the song:
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Don't you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making the world a little colder
Na na na, na na, na na na na
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You were made to go out and get her
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll start to make it better
[ Shirley Bassey Lyrics are found on www.getlyrics.com ]
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you? Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na na na, na na, na na na na
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You were made to go out and get her
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better, better, better, better
Na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, nana na na
Na na na na, all together now, hey Jude
I grew up in Jamaica listening to miss Shirley Bassey, and even as a little black boy growing up in the ghetto whenever her song came on the radio my ears would be just glued to the speakers, no other can replace her, one of the greatest!
You have great taste my friend ⭐️
oh purlease. Yet another who "grew up as a black boy in the ghetto" Did anyone just grow up normally in the Caribbean?? I have spent years living and visiting there and i can guarantee, so called ghettos exist only in the mind.
interesting. shirley bassey wasn't known outside of england until at least 80s/90s. So your 'ghetto' must have been strange! Shirley Bassey had nothing to do with Jamaica! She was from Cardiff.
the most ridiculous lies. Shirley Bassey came from Cardiff.
How can absolute lies be allowed with no challenge? Everything on here is truth. Or Not?
Fabulous control of the voice along with the emotions.
what a singer!She lives this song as shes performing it.She looks absolutely beautiful.The Berlin public were treated to a fabulous show!Super Shirley!
never knew how entertaining it was watching such this live performace way back to our grandparents days.. im a millineal but still i can appreciate this superb classic acts. I could say taht nobody sings/perform like Shirley, no one up to the present time..she's a legend..
Vinsoi - Thanks to the magic of UA-cam, people of your generation have the opportunity to view the GREATS of the older generation. Dame Shirley is undoubtedly amongst the very elite when it comes to vocal abilities, and it's amazing that she can simply walk up to the mic and open her mouth to sing and people become mesmerized. She doesn't have to make up for less than great vocals by dancing her way through songs. Now, that is a gift!
count me in
his voice is a gift for humanity
Don't you mean her not his😁
@@levimacdonald5188 you have to ask, does she have a penis? what is a woman?
Hearing she's singing, it brings back my childhood memories when my dad frequently played her albums. She's my dad's favorite and now she's my favorite too.
There is nothing than can surpass Dame Shirley Bassey. Unbelievable.
she´s amazing & lovely, a real diva
Shirley owns everything she sings , magnificent happy 80th birthday
Ladies and gentlemen! The one the only... Shirley Bassey!
Surprise surprise. This lady keeps surprising me. Did not see those dance moves coming. She's got it.
Shirley you are fantastic,you take a sad song and sing it so well by your power voice, your expressive look and energic gestuel and make marvellous . No one can't do it like you.
A fan jean
Paul McCartney did it better, IMO.
Bravo
I disagree, as do people who think her voice is the eighth wonder of the world. Go and write something nice under Paul McCartney’s videos and leave us alone.
Dane Shirley is truly the top singer and performer who has ever lived. A show woman of all time. Her emotions all the way down to her inner beimg gets one through the ups and downs of life that she herself knows and understands so very well. She guides me through my heartache and pain through her songs and of course through her beauty and love for others. I love her dearly. She is the darling of all mankind. Thank you Dane Shirley Bassey.
Qualquer música, gravada por Ela, passa a ser única.
The absolute queen. Period.
Bassey gives a different unique flavor of a song!
She's amazing!!!
wow that must of been one of the best concerts ever,shes a legend
one of, yes but 'royal albert hall 1973', 'talk of the town', 'show of the week' and 'amsterdam' are better IMO.

Anything Shirley is enough for me , she's probably the best female vocalist ever and that includes Judy Garland and Selene Dion throw in Adele Shirley your the best ever ,

Woah!!!!!
This little girl from Cardif Wales who came from nothing ,but did she have talent and could she sing you bet yagh !!!
Wooowwwww
maravilhosa maravilhosa
Girls gots some vocals there...
Sammy: I do not believe that Shirley has recorded this on in the studio. Her live versions are amazing, and they are different than versions done by others and so they have the Bassey stamp. So it's a shame that she hasn't officially recorded and included it on one of her almost 50 LPs/CDs, and counting. But, she is still recording,,,so maybe,,,fingers crossed.
I think she ought to.
Hey Jude
Dame Shirley you are God xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx we love. Uuuuuuuuu
Tiger Bay Queen rocks.
🤓Cheers..💪🎀🇦🇺♊♀️🙏🌬️💓.
SONDHIEM chose Glynis John's to sing it on Broadway.he said he needed an actress who could sing a little.not the other way around. The woman is in a bad relationship and blames herself when it is his fault. It is easy to come on too strong.that being said i still love Dame Shirley
Uau!
🎉❤😅 utube john bavas crazy
🌞🌌🤠
hey tom jones, how about this.
Did Shirley Bassey Ever Record this in the studio ?
sacrée bonne femme !
