[@Oughut88]

Yes she is Dame Shirley Bassey. She was awarded her title by our late Queen Elizabeth. Dame Shirley Bassey is a National Treasure in Britain. We adore her 🌹♥️🌹

[@dgse83]

She performed Diamonds at last year's BAFTA award ceremony at the age of 85 - you must watch it!

[@lancenorthey7205]

The bafta performance was amazing

[@callasladivina]

Yas!

[@MartinByrne1]

"Diamonds are forever Hold one up and then caress it Touch it, stroke it and undress it" 🤭

[@daneelolivaw602]

She is like a national treasure here in the UK. can you believe her first hit record, called, As i love you, was released in 1959.

[@paulsparks7035]

First Top 10 in UK Banana boat song, Feb 57.

[@dianesinnett4391]

Dame Shirley Bassey is now 86 years old . She is Welsh.

[@purelayermanplayer4062]

And British & a legend

[@darkpitcher5242]

Wales is known as the land of song and imho Shirley is one of the finest singers Wales has ever produced

[@neilperry2241]

Thanks for that😂

Shirley was referred to as our Shirley when being introduced on TV shows she was so popular always on TV shows,I have a request Shirley singing I NEVER NEVER WANT TO BE IN LOVE AND THE ANYONE BUT YOU.

[@catherinereeves5707]

Lol, I would love to go to a concert with you! You are so appreciative of beautiful music and voices!!!

[@awordfrompresidentpat1985]

Wow, thank you! 😊💯. Probably would have a blast.

[@MatthiasHamilton]

Her Oscar performance of Goldfinger in 2013 was Delicious

[@sas9023055]

What's amazing about this particular concert is that it is less than two years after her daughter tragically passed due to mysterious circumstances. She actually lost her voice as she tried to come back too soon. She stepped out on stage to hit the first note.....and nothing! She then returned to England and contacted a classical artist who was working as a vocal coach. Basically, her throat was raw, AND she needed more time to grieve. But, she also was told that she was not singing through her diaphragm, which was giving her throat greater difficulty singing live day by day in conerts. She took the coaches recommendations, and in the process she discovered she had another octave in her voice! Before 1985, she had not received any vocal coaching.

[@kelvinlambert4249]

What a performer. Still gives me chills.

[@katiekatconway1880]

She’s better at the 2002 BAFTA awards. This is a 90 minute non stop performance and still brilliant. I love her.

[@Prolinium]

She performed again in June '23 and it was beyond awesome...the power is even stronger.

[@chaiyehovah7031]

Thanks so much for reacting to her. Shirley Bassey has one of the greatest voices of all time. Her live performances are incredible. She is the only person to ever be asked to sing more than one James Bond Theme Song: Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, and Moonraker. When she sings Diamonds are Forever and Goldfinger in the sea green sequined dress, it is almost unbelievable. As someone already mentioned, she sang Diamonds are Forever at 85 years old and still had power. She was one of the first Black persons (male or female) to have her own TV variety show here in America. She is phenomenal. I do hope you will check some of her other live performances as well.

[@michaelhingley4770]

Not African American! Dame Shirley is British, born in Wales and honoured with the title of 'Dame' by Her Majesty the Queen earlier in this century. 😁

[@chaiyehovah7031]

@@michaelhingley4770 So so sorry. You are absolutely correct. That was a mistake on my part. I know that she is British and born in Wales. I meant to say she is one of the first Black people (man or woman) to have her own TV variety show here in America. I am going to edit my comment right now. Thanks for catching that. It was a mistake.

[@michaelhingley4770]

@chaiyehovah7031 Absolutely no problem, but as I am also a Brit, I was keen to claim Dame Shirley as one of our own! An amazing lady. 😄

[@chaiyehovah7031]

@@michaelhingley4770 I don't blame you! And yes she is "an amazing lady". I am so thankful you corrected me. I was ill and didn't accurately characterize what I meant to say. Blessings

[@johncrwarner]

She is a Dame of the British Empire so she is Dame Shirley Bassey but professionally actors and singers usually only use their name so Dame Shirley Bassey will appear on posters and CDs as Shirley Bassey So Patrick Stewart - Picard in Star Trek is actually Sir Patrick Stewart etc.

[@KukLuv]

Dame Shirley Bassey is Britain's Whitney Houston her voice really is something 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

[@jamespasifull]

Whitney Houston wished! 🤣

[@tommoncrieff1154]

I don’t think Whitney is the right parallel. Apart from anything, Shirley’s professional career has lasted 70 years.

[@allanmadden8845]

She is an icon in her own county , like Tom Jones they are roughly from the same area in Wales

[@antonisgspanos3784]

Could you believe this was a little bit before she lost her voice due tragic events in her life ?! Simply amazing

[@antonisgspanos3784]

Thankfully she retrained and continued her amazing work!!

[@robertjohnsontaylor3187]

She’s one of the greatest singers ever.

[@Dilydaydream1]

Her autobiography is fascinating - rags to riches. I grew up watching her on tv as she had a variety show. Her comedic timing is spot on. Shes got a great sense of humour too. But her dresses, beauty, wigs and that voice.....

[@anthonygeurtsen7143]

She is the ONLY artist who has been the voice of 3 James Bond movie theme songs!!! As incredible as that is, she is sooooo much more! Can't wait to see you react to her more!

[@geoffreynewby3270]

She was presented with diamonds in antwep Belgium for this song

[@maudeboggins9834]

I am currently binge watching the best of Dame Shirley Bassey. She is wonderful.

[@kerrypapworth1526]

I love Shirley Bassey an amazing talent 💕💐

[@sandrabutler8483]

Dame is equivalent to Sir which is awarded by our King or previously by our late Queen Elizabeth, but for charity work alongside what someone has bought into their chosen industry, if you skip forward I think last year age 85 Dame Shirley preformed this at The Royal Albert Hall live in the theatre and TV audience BTW Dr Brian May is now Dr Sir Brian May newly knighted for his contribution to the industry and organisations and charities

[@martincampbell7774]

Dame Shirley...always amazing! Love, love, love her voice and stage presence.

[@Delited2bme]

Wow! I'm late. I must go down the rabbit hole now.

[@sharonlabrecque1655]

I love Never, never, never by Dame Shirley.

[@JohnSmith-do3ek]

Not only was shirley the greatest female vocalist to come from britain, she was the greatest female vocalist in the entire world. She was Welsh and from poor roots, same as another Welshman Tom Jones, who lived in a poor coal mining community. Before madonna, beyonce, rhianna, shirley bassey could outsing them, and also was a beatiful woman.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

This is a great song sung by a great artist!

[@nathanwanner..44]

Her voice , singing ability is the best ... ever...

[@gregreed329]

Hi Pat, I am so happy you discovered Dame Shirley Bassey. I love your reactions. 😊

[@awordfrompresidentpat1985]

Oh thank you!

[@Anita-pf1hy]

Dame Shirley is still superb at 86 years…!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Theragll]

You must react to her singing a Beatles cover 'Something' it was written by George Harrison and DSB blows it out of the water. There is no comparison between the original and her version. A good version on YT is Shirley Bassey - SOMETHING (1973 TV Special)

[@Dej24601]

She was named a “Dame” by Queen Elizabeth in 1999. It is a noble title in Britain of a Knighthood (for men, like Sir Paul McCartney) or Damehood. It is given for special achievements or contributions to society.

[@NeilPackard]

All I can say is, CLASS.❤

[@Chris-we7jx]

Wonderful Dame Shirley. The best . Please review The Propellorheads with Shirley Bassey - History Repeating. Funky groove with our Shirl.

[@nathanwanner..44]

This woman is criminally underrated. She is fantastic

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

Shirley Bassey has a vibrant alluring voice.

[@Richard-darixdax]

She is bloody awesome, mate! ❤😊Gday from Perth

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

I don't know whether or not someone has previously mentioned this, but Dame Shirley and the other great Vagas star Sir Tom Jones, were born and raised just twenty miles apart in South Wales. Sir Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Burton, and Roald Dahl were also from this small corner of Wales.

[@lindakilby2979]

Love Shirley Bassey. My Soul Sister can saaang💜🎶

She is our Streisand

Try her 2009 Electric Proms version. Even more thrilling! The fabulous DSB is a realising and STAR

[@mauricewilson509]

Her mother was Welsh and her father was Nigerian

[@popland1977]

She has done a cover of Beyonce Im Still Here. There's only a studio version, it was released during covid for her final album

[@derekhiles9041]

Great channel her latest album 2 years ago when she was 83 is great more mellow still the power

[@luminiferous1960]

Thanks for another great reaction to the incomparable Dame Shirley Bassey!

[@markmccune-x2z]

I have Loved this Woman from when I saw her in the 60s

[@eth.3296]

Wow im a gemini too 😮; See Patrick what i told you yesterday when i 1st subscribed. The sample you heard was probably from a Kanye West song a few years ago called "Diamonds from Sierre Leon". She was pisted he didn't seek her permission to use it. But she probably got paid anyway. 😅 She's not Britains Greatest selling female singer in history for nothing. I remember seeing her performance in that gown back in 1985.....Enjoy !

[@goldencherry9033]

You should definitely check out her version of Something by The Beatles. Spine-tingling!🙌🏼 I got to see her perform live for my 21st birthday and it was EPIC! You should also check out her Glastonbury set! She had £1m wellingtons on!!

[@roselowe8631]

The performance so different but hi love itw the documentary you need to see 😊

[@roseoconnor5938]

Climb every mountain, Reach for the stars, As I love you,.....so so many beautiful songs sung with such passion.....one of my favourites is ""Yesterday when I was young "" , a reflection of regrets..❤

[@samanthacooke8098]

Patrick,I love your honest appraisals,without being vindictive,or spiteful, just to get hits on KZbin,as so many do

[@Rosannasfriend]

Please watch more Shirley Bassey videos. You’re getting me back into her. Not that I ever stopped loving her, but I haven’t been listening regularly to her like I used to.

[@johnreilly9452]

In the 80s she recorded a track called The Rythm Devine with the group Yello, in the 90s she recorded a drum and bass track called History Repeating with a band called Propellerheads . I would recommend a live performance of song called The Living Tree at the Royal Command performance it will blow you away ...she was in her 70s then ,she always retained that power and control

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

I like the film "Diamonds Are Forever." 1971. Some say it's cheesy and campy, but it's one of my favorite Bond films. Shirley Bassey sets the mood for the film.

[@gregkirby9059]

BRO she is the best singer ever

[@donnamentrasti2695]

Pat, this woman is a powerhouse vocalist and entainer. I saw her many times live back in the 70s and her shows left you breathless. If you don't have these songs on your list, they are a MUST! "This Is My Life" "I Am What I Am" "The Greatest Performance Of My Life"

[@martinpowdrill3379]

You should see her wellies when she did Glastonbury!! D.S.B

[@sandrahilton3239]

i guess you know that this song was a Bond song for a Bond film. I went to see her on stage, never seen so many mens briefs thrown on the stage. When she performed, she expected a gift of diamonds. She has had a tragic life.

[@JeanBodie]

Please react to Shirley doing Hay big Spender . She is brilliant

[@christian7729]

Just for the correctness, IT is Dame Shirley Bassey. And this one was a James Bond Themen Song.

[@roselowe8631]

You are never to late to ingoy music 😮

[@kevin-e5h5t]

Now that Dame Shirley is 85 years old, you should listen to her now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5rGiGOCf9Bsja8&start_radio=1 She just cannot be beat. I had forgotten how beautiful she is. With movie-star looks, she has taken over the world.

[@thomash.rudwall]

Could you please react to Bassey live: “Never, Never, Never” & “For All We Know?”

[@thomash.rudwall]

And “Love Song.”
