I wish I had seen Dame Shirley Bassey when I lived in the UK. I left in the 90's I really did miss out. Dame Shirley is bloody breathtaking & defies her age.
Shirley Bassey sets the standard for class when I think of a classy entertainer there are only a few that comes to mind and Shirley is always one of the first I think of ,I hope she gets more reactions because I feel people need to see more of her and then they will see what they're missing in this day and age , honestly she leaves me speechless , every time I see her she's amazes me. As I spoke about class , she's the classiest performer ever !
I’ve watched bond ever since I was a lad. Shirley Bassey’s voice was on Goldfinger, Diamonds are forever and Moonraker. For me she is the ultimate Bond girl. Great upload.
Dame Shirley will be at The Royal Albert Hall next month taking part in something for the James Bond 60th anniversary and she also sang live more recently at the BAFTAS 2022 age 85
For me, there are three great Bond songs, Goldfinger, Live and Let Die and Nobody Does it Better. Three quite different songs by three iconic singers. I'm not sure what they do in Wales, but they breed them with one hell of a set of lungs! Shirley Bassey is such a brilliant singer and she always puts on a performance.
Shirley is an absolute gem. So talented. I couldn't conduct that without having a massive grin on my face at how wonderful she is. I had goose pimples watching that again - I saw it when it was on TV at the time. xx
Happy Sunday dear Suzanne! Isn't it good? Woo - just the opening bars - the Orchestra so powerful, the music arrangement insanely amazing, and then after three 'bar' intros, she raises her arms and lowers them to let the Orchestra know 'LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED' - perfect! 🙋🏽♀️🌹x
Shirley Bassey had a terrific voice, and I recall seeing Goldfinger at the movies, way back in 1967, as a little kid. I remember her voice as the gold painted lady was on the screen. Ooooo. I found a "sort of up to date" video of Shirley singing a song with the Propellerheads (The Matrix movie fight scene), done in a 1960's looking style. Shirley delivers on this video, and she had power in her voice, and still has that same power and dynamic voice. Propellerheads feat: Miss Shirley Bassey - History Repeating
Hi Psyche, I know it's been a while, but I'm here now...I absolutely loved the James Bond 007 movie and this theme song!!! Her voice is amazing and the sound of the live orchestra is "PRICELESS!!!" Kudos to you for this reaction also!!!
Hello CRSD great to see you. Hope you're well. I agree the Orchestra is simply 'outstanding'. The opening bars just make me want to burst -absolute pleasure. 🌹
One of the best Bond theme songs IMO. Shirley is legendary - pure class! Loved this live performance and your wonderful story Psyche. I’m sure you looked fabulous in that gold dress! Please take care. (I will write to you more tomorrow 🥰). Thanks 🙏🙋♂️
Hello my lovely Red, glad you turned up. I know you're busy so I'm grateful for your presence, though you're always here in spirit if not physically. Shirley is amazing and my audition was an experience. I just need lady luck to grant me good fortune and give me that break. Over 3 decades and I'm still trying! Hear from you when able . 🤗🙋🏽♀️🌹x
Thanks Bruce -very kind and uplifting. I'm more mature than most so it's tough but I'm not for turning at all. Thanks for your support. Have a wonderful weekend. Psyche 🌹
Actually Ma'am you ought to have gone on the tube people might have stopped you & asked for your autograph or to belt out a song to entertain the commuters.
O.M.G…… STAGE. PRESENCE. 😳🙀🫣🤯😱😵🤩 (I’m sorry, but this is me SPEECHLESS.) Okay, so….. 1) I am Googling EVERYTHING I can learn about Shirley Bassey. TODAY. 2) What an HONOR that you were even considered for the portrayal of two such amazing, talented women, Honey… That speaks to your own TALENT and BEAUTY and PRESENCE. 3) I bet the reason all those people were gawking at you, strolling down the sidewalk “dressed to the nines” is because they were thinking: “GAWD, SHE’S GORGEOUS”.😍 4) I LOVE the story about your aunt, she must’ve been spectacular.🥰 (I had some matriarchs like that, I will miss them forever until the day I get to see them again.)💕
Great orchestra & fabulous singer. Dame Shirley Bassey is second to none.
Magnificent! Seventy-four years old. Stunning!
I saw this live and literally fell out of my seat. to be that age and sing so well is magnificent.
Oh TE you are so lucky I'd be like you except I probably would have fainted 😁🙅🏽♀️🌹

Melissa Ward here. Her voice just rang through me to the bone when it was released. She's a treasure
Shirley Bassey´s voice is outstanding! So much power and energy! 💯
For me the greatest. James Bond theme song ever! 🎵🎤
100% Mark. I absolutely adore the beginning - the Orchestra is so powerful - seriously. Very commanding. 🌹

Fantastic!!

She is a touch past her best here. Try the 1974 Albert Hall performance to get a glimpse of what we saw in the 60s and 70s when she was extraordinary
Hey Psyche such a great singer Shirley bassey I love the way she sings this song goldfinger amazing voice I liked your reaction 😊
😁🙋🏽♀️🌹
I never knew about this live performance of Goldfinger until now - absolute chills down the spine ❤

Nice video Psyche 👍Loved all 3 of her Bond songs. Moonraker doesn't get the credit it deserves.

The fabulous singer,and beautiful woman that is Dame Shirley Bassey check her songs with Freddy star and Les Dawson a brilliantly funny lady as well.
Thanks. I've already seen them.
Dame Shirley is now 85 years old and still cannot be beat.

We are blessed.
the song was...a million times better than the movie...
Shirley Bassey is probably one singer I would compare with Streisand. A true legend
I love your personal story sorry u didn't get the part u would have been great keep trying
Thanks B you for your encouraging words.🌹
Actually Ma'am you ought to have gone on the tube people might have stopped you & asked for your autograph or to belt out a song to entertain the commuters.
Name me a better female vocal……
O.M.G……
STAGE. PRESENCE.
😳🙀🫣🤯😱😵🤩
(I’m sorry, but this is me SPEECHLESS.)
Okay, so…..
1) I am Googling EVERYTHING I can learn about Shirley Bassey. TODAY.
2) What an HONOR that you were even considered for the portrayal of two such amazing, talented women, Honey… That speaks to your own TALENT and BEAUTY and PRESENCE.
3) I bet the reason all those people were gawking at you, strolling down the sidewalk “dressed to the nines” is because they were thinking: “GAWD, SHE’S GORGEOUS”.😍
4) I LOVE the story about your aunt, she must’ve been spectacular.🥰

One of the most 'sublime' set of comments I have ever had the pleasure of reading - stunning to the core ❤️❤️❤️
