She's 85? She doesn't look or sound a day over 60. She's beautiful and sounds great. I hope we look like that her age. Haa ha. Imma gonna start exercising tomorrow.
She is and always will be the voice of Bond. It's an incredible gift that she's still with us and able to knock these very difficult songs out of the park!
She should change her name from Shirley Bassey to 'The One'. She's 85 and she looks and sounds great. She can still hit the high notes with no vocal wobble. I'd pay to fly around the world to see her in concert again.
@@davepage8080 I adore Cleo but she wasn't a belter like Shirley. Cleo still had a fabulous voice but Shirley has power and projection that at almost 86 years old is staggering
She could be just chilling at home enjoying her retirement but being on stage is her life. What an absolute legend and powehouse, Dame Shirley is one of a kind.
Appearance wise, Bassey personifies the term 'aging gracefully'. Vocally, she can still belt like Bassey in her prime which is remarkable given her age.
I once had the honour of attending one of her concerts at Hampton Court. We had Vip front row seats and those winks she gave us,still live strong in the memory. Dame Shirley is nothing short of a legend. We ❤ you.
As a Welsh person we are very, very proud of our Shirley. Along with Tom Jones they are the greatest to come out of our country. Love your story Neil. She's a sweetheart.
I met her once too Neil after a Carnegie Hall concert in 1985; Despite getting back on the road weeks after her younger daughters tragic drowning death, she was nice to me & stopped to greet me before getting into her limo, gave me a handshake, got a kiss in, and a few words exchanged with an autograph & I still have it framed. She's the most versatile fenale singer I've ever heard and my favorite !!
True class. Todays singers are cheap and pithy! She is a true Dame in every way. Next to the Queen, rest in peace, my favorite. Thank you for everything.

To be fair it has aged, compare Goldfinger in this video to the original in 1964 BUT, it is even more remarkable now...some voices age well & some don't, Shirley's is probably the best example of the former...fantastic performer.
She is beyond impressive. She and Tom Jones broke the “old” mold of people thinking singers lose their edge as they age. Their voices are their instrument, and both keep them well tuned.
Wow! This woman is EXCEPTIONAL! She is born the same day as Elvis Presley was. He was born in the Year Of the Dog and she the Year Of The Rat. This woman is in her 80's almost 90 and she belts out as when she was in her 30's; INCREDULOUS! I LOVE ❤this woman; her life has NOT been peaches and cream; dealing with racism, exploitation, suicide of a child; rejections etc... and in the end, the DAME is still standing; God bless 🙏 your spirit; you're AMAZING!
I got the privilege to see her live once in my life, I was close to the stage. I will remember it forever. As a Bond fan my whole life, the music makes Bond. I will always love her.
She were extremely gorgeous as a young entertainer in the 50s/60s with a voice that was out of this world. Obviously her voice will change with time but her face is still very beautiful I must say.
At her later stage of life, her power and control are UNBELIEVABLE!! In a world where labels are thrown around too easily, Ms. Bassey is the true meaning of an ‘icon’.
She is my female favorite, definitely The Queen of "Classical Pop" Vocals as she's referred to her musical repertoire - there's no one as versatile as she. Britain's Greatest female singer ever !! But it would be even greater to have her sing some of her other great songs from "The Rhythm Devine" to "The Living Tree". She's usually always is requested to sing "Goldfinger" or "Diamonds are Forever".
Is it me..... Or do the British always seem to make things regal, proper w a higher class and I mean this in a very positive and complimentary way. (And yes, I know Dame Shirley Bassey is Welsh and always gives a powerful rendition to her classic song) But I always like, how the British music productions bring out the "Nobility" of the perfomance.
So good to watch this again. I was there and the atmosphere was totally electric. The ovations she received before, during and after her performance were phenomenal. I feel blessed to have witnessed this wonderful woman "live".
Oooo what beautyfull what beautyfull shirley bassey and this wiht 85 years so a beautyfull lady a real diva i love shirley bassey her voice and as dame gr Jeffrey verspaget from the netherlands xxxx 🍀🌞☕️😘🌴🙏🙏🐈
1955 as a cabin boy on the Heysham to Belfast ferry, Shirley was traveling to perform at the Opera theatre Belfast; she and her manager sat up ; all night in tourist class, could'nt afford a cabin'. So in the morning I made her a mug of tea before disembarking. I was in Australia in January 2956 when I read her talent was discovered, arriving in Liverpool in April 1956 Shirley was performing at the Liverpool Empire; her first song she sang was "From this moment on". Shirley is a Diva, though what a talent.
Dame Shirley BASSEY. Wow!!!! Her most unique voice is so powerfully versatile, her musical capability is cosmically naturally commanding & authoritatively subtle with the strongest thermodynamic energy of: A. Sound (overtone, timbre, pitch, amplitude, duration) B. Melody. C. Harmony. D. Rhythm. E. Texture. F. Structure G. Expression (dynamics, tempo, articulation) - A Truly Knighted Singer of the Highest Caliber who sings with the most influential Magic of Music that she is the True Genius of the Musical World - a Gift to All Humanity
Como sempre revejo às apresentações de Shirley, nesse espetáculo ela recebe um abraço de muito respeito, carinho e admiração do público que de pé lhes estende os corações❤
Dame Shirley Bassey The Greatest she is and will always be the Genuine Original the first Brilliantly massive voice total heart, class, passion, and most beautiful captured mainstream rose to World Legend God Bless You DSB and keep you safe healthy and happy 🙏🙏❤️🎶🌟✨💫♾🙏💯
The greatest concert voice this country has ever produced, is finally showing frailty but make no mistake, she remains a titanic talent with a voice that could sweep all before it.
Her voice are remarkable at 85 .No other female singer had done this even Tina Turner .Sher never had a voice Madonna sound shit.Shirley is A REAL STAR AND STAR QUALITY.I saw her life in two concerts and her VOICE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT .Old Streisand is battling to hold notes but Shirley out do them all
Ms. Bassey is still beautiful after all these years and she is also still a great singer. I always loved her voice and I still love her. Greatness is a great thing when it is entrusted to the right person and Ms. Bassey is that person. ❤
I am stunned this Lovely Lady was 85 here and is now 86. I WOULD'VE GUESSED! Her voice is AMAZING !! A sure sign, she valued her gift and takes great care of herself! Awesome performance!👍
Impressionnant ,meveilleux ,grandiose ...Dame S.B. a cette voix performante même à une age avancée ,on ne peut que s'incliner devant cette icone.Merci d'avoir partager
Diamonds (and divas) are indeed forever. Had the pleasure to see DSB years ago here in Brussels. Absolutely fabulous. And she still has it all: the range, the wit and grace.
Not quite the control of the vocal chords as she once had, but.... the power over rides that. Still singing remarkably well for 50 years old, let alone 85!
Thank you thank you thank you…I’m 80 and rewatching all the bond movies. I know the misogyny, but I can’t help it…the theme songs bring back so many memories…and dame bassey is still the best…you go girl! Thanks for your post….♥️

For a power singer like Shirley to get out there at 85 and still belt out these songs is remarkable.
Some of these so called singing stars of today should take note on how to sing, Shirley knocks the spots off today singers😃😃😃
She will be 86 in January. Yes, at 85 is truly amazing.
100%
Elle est magnifique!!!
She's 85? She doesn't look or sound a day over 60. She's beautiful and sounds great. I hope we look like that her age. Haa ha. Imma gonna start exercising tomorrow.

I honestly cannot think of another singer who still has THAT voice at such an age. Incredible!
A rare Diamond indeed 💎 Dame Shirley
Cleo Laine?
Engelbert Humperdinck. Not quite this powerful, but then again he never was. He never sang opra, mostly love songs and his voice is still great at 86
@@davepage8080 I adore Cleo but she wasn't a belter like Shirley. Cleo still had a fabulous voice but Shirley has power and projection that at almost 86 years old is staggering
@@PDC-yb9qs YEs very true-Petula Clarks still singing well but again not a belter like Bassey!
85 year old Shirley Bassey singing better than other singers in their 20's and 30's. Dame said "That's how it's done."
..the standing ovation was well deserved.. the one and only....
Dame Shirley Bassey
85 years old!! Phenomenal! Such power in her voice..
Wow, who else can sing like that at the age of 85?! Outstanding performance and she can definitely go on for a while yet.
Not many
She's a natural❤❤🎉🎉

Still in a league of her own… at 85 years old. Absolutely astounding. 🏴❤️

It has aged just like the more exquisite fine wine to perfection 🎉🎉🎉😊❤❤
agree. of course it has aged. just different. more mature, caring and speaks to you??? To me anyway.
Well, maybe just a little bit. But God I love her. We are so blessed to still have her.

I got the privilege to see her live once in my life, I was close to the stage. I will remember it forever. As a Bond fan my whole life, the music makes Bond. I will always love her.
I love how her Bond songs make me feel! Words will not suffice!
I could listen to this forever !!!!
The one, the only, pure gold and diamond diva.
Shirley Bassey is the yardstick against which all others are measured when it comes to Bond themes.
She still sounds fantastic and looks amazing. What an incredible woman.
This is amazing! The quality is still there even at 85. What a woman
She were extremely gorgeous as a young entertainer in the 50s/60s with a voice that was out of this world. Obviously her voice will change with time but her face is still very beautiful I must say.
She still has this very special loveliness in her face. What a wonderful singer & amazing Lady she is.
With Love from Germany, Cologne

At her later stage of life, her power and control are UNBELIEVABLE!!
In a world where labels are thrown around too easily, Ms. Bassey is the true meaning of an ‘icon’.

(And yes, I know Dame Shirley Bassey is Welsh and always gives a powerful rendition to her classic song) But I always like, how the British music productions bring out the "Nobility" of the perfomance.
The only Great Diva voice on the Planet that's left.
My goodness, can she still sing! Great. God bless you Dame Shirley.
That last “gold“ note will never not come to her naturally! Bravo!
A CLASS act always! I was 7 years old when I went to see Goldfinger in the Theater . 60 years later I’m still enjoying this live!
A magnificent performance , she is so beautiful and remarkable !!

Still so much depth and power in her voice even at this age. Impressive
THE BEST SINGER EVER!!!
When great female voices are mentioned Shirley Bassey name should be up there with the best of them.

This may sound a bit morbid but it would be amazing for this current generation to fall in love wth Dame Shirley b4 it's too late.
She remains royal vocalist that is legendary. What a joy and pleasure. Shirley Bassey had only become better in her seasoned years.
I cannot think of any other singer who has such a great

I cant close my eyes, watching her is delightful
What a beautiful voice! So powerful..cant believe she's in her 80's!
The Legend - Dame Shirley, who in my book should have sang every Bond theme, showing she still has it at 85
The greatest concert voice this country has ever produced, is finally showing frailty but make no mistake, she remains a titanic talent with a voice that could sweep all before it.
She is another Legend like Tina Turner both of them SUPERB!!
Her voice are remarkable at 85 .No other female singer had done this even Tina Turner .Sher never had a voice Madonna sound shit.Shirley is A REAL STAR AND STAR QUALITY.I saw her life in two concerts and her VOICE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT .Old Streisand is battling to hold notes but Shirley out do them all
*I most definitely agree❤*
With the exception of Tina Turner Golden Eye was remarkably sung
old leather lungs is simply......other worldly....she's wonderful ❤

Ms. Bassey is still beautiful after all these years and she is also still a great singer. I always loved her voice and I still love her. Greatness is a great thing when it is entrusted to the right person and Ms. Bassey is that person. ❤

Mrs Bond. There is no other. A privilege that I have been around to witness this wonderful singer.
Please, MGM -- EON, please get Shirley to do another bond song because I think she is the best bond singer to date.
Agree 💯 % , she ' s sung Bond themes for 3 movies, the only artist to do more than 1 Bond theme and that's because she's the best 👌 ❤
Miss Shirley and Gladys knight sang the best James Bond track ever...and she is such an actress ! Her hands,her face expressions...
Gladys is another legend who has still got it.
I also love Golden Eye sang by the unmistakably Miss simply the best Tina Turner ❤❤🎉🎉
I hope she is around for many more years. Be a sad day like it was when I heard Angela Lansbury passed when she goes. Still an amazing range.
She is unbelievably talented .
Thank you thank you thank you…I’m 80 and rewatching all the bond movies. I know the misogyny, but I can’t help it…the theme songs bring back so many memories…and dame bassey is still the best…you go girl! Thanks for your post….♥️
