Dame (as awarded by the Queen) Shirley Bassey is one of the greatest live performers who has ever lived. Her performances are legendary. She is adored by millions of fans like myself. It is a pity you did not see a video of her performing "Goldfinger" or "I, Who Have Nothing" or "Diamonds Are Forever" or the incredible "This Is My Life". If you did, you will sit there transfixed as you did for Pavarotti and for "Barcelona".

Bassey absolutely knocked this out of the park! There have been many great Bond theme songs but this is my favorite. There's something so sinister about it: the lyrics, the orchestration and, of course, Shirley Bassey's incomparable voice.

[@erict956]

Dame Shirley Bassey is a national treasure in Wales and the UK. She is what used to be called a belter and push out a note like no other often likened to the female Tom Jones and has definitely done a few Vegas shows as well. Her version of "I who have nothing" is a total show stopper and my favourite version. She is now 86 and last performed live at the end of last year (she definitely still has it). Her life story is amazing and she has fought through so many adversities. She is still a very beautiful and elegant lady.

[@roystone9932]

[@People_of_the_Mouse]

@@roystone9932 Her version of Spinning Wheel. It's almost worth watching The Gray Man just to hear it.

[@keithwarrington2430]

Shirley justifiably hates the term belter as it denies the skill, control and variety of her voice. she can apply the power when needed but is capable of massive subtelty as well. she's the only artist to have been chosen to do three Bond Themes but you could listen to "This is My Life", She made "Something"( one of George Harrison's songs for the beatles ) her own, and her great vocals on Propellerheads' " All just a Little Bit of History Repeating" which I think you might really appreciate.

[@richarddew7577]

[@leestirling4623]

@@richarddew7577 she's not from Cardiff lol she just lived there she's half African and half English.

[@heyheyjk-la]

Fun Fact! If you listen closely, you'll hear an acoustic guitar mixed in with the orchestra. And who was playing that guitar? None other than Jimmy Page, soon to be the rock god and guitarist with Led Zeppelin! He was a major session guitar player in his early career. Another little tidbit (I learned all of this in the documentary about Abbey Road Studios that Paul McCartney's daughter directed recently) is that Shirley Bassey held that final note for so long while she was waiting for the credits to end (she was watching while recording) that she fainted as soon as she finished, standing right near Jimmy.

[@ajt62]

[@sueparras6028]

[@tom587]

Decades ago they had to introduce microphones and amplifiers for the performers because many couldn't sing and be heard at the back of the theater! I know because my father was one of those with an old "Broadway Voice"! He was the best dramatic tenor on B'way from late 40's to late 70's and was in 30 shows(15 original casts) and could be heard easily and clearly in the last row of every show he was in.

I’m glad that you two found Dame Shirley Bassey. She is the only artist to have sung more than one James Bond, 007, theme song; Goldfinger, Moonraker, and Diamonds are Forever. It would be worthwhile finding a video where she sings live, her live performances add to the experience.

[@ibanezman04]

Fun Fact. Composer John Barry wanted Shirley to hold the high note at the end of the song as long as possible. After a few takes, she still wasn't holding the note as long as they wanted. So Shirley took off her bra and draped it over the top of the vocal booth, so she could "take a bigger breath" for the high note. On the last take she fainted at the end of the track. Second fun fact. The guitar in this song was recorded by a young Jimmy Page (whom you all know as the guitarist of Led Zeppelin). Shirley is without doubt one of the world's greatest and most powerful ever singers and performers. This song is THE quintessential 'Bond song'. If you guys haven't seen the films. I think it's time you do!

[@LMmccallL57]

Amber, you talk about her matching the note of the horn. I've been trying my best to get you guys to listen to _The Manhattan Transfer_ forever, because that's what they're known for. Their style is known as Vocalese and they can match the pitch and rhythm of instruments. They're an amazing jazz/R&B/Swing group that started out in their teens and twenties about fifty years ago, and though one member/the founder, Tim Hauser passed away, they added a new male singer and still perform. They use a lot of jazz/beatnik lingo from the past, and I've even offered to translate for you in email. You can look at the lyrics while listening, but you likely wouldn't understand them. Again, I suggest.... "Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone" "The Offbeat of Avenues" "Birdland" "Killer Joe" "Ray's Rockhouse" "So You Say"

[@bobbuethe1477]

Shirley is a national treasure here in the UK. Now i am going to recommend another, Cilla Black. I will keep things short with the details, she was born in Liverpool and worked as a cloakroom assistant at the cavern club (made famous by The Beatles) where she would get up and sing a song with whichever group were performing that night (inc The Beatles). She eventually got a record contract with her first song being written by The Beatles. She sadly passed away in 2015, the song i recommend to show the power of her voice is "You're my World".

Shirley Bassey one of THEE Most Iconic Divas in Music. One of the most Imitated by Drag Queens the World Over because her music lends itself to over expression, always a great show. Thanks for the Fun. Made Me Smile, Again. Now Go Find, ''History Repeating'' another Bassey Classic. !!! LOVE HER !!

[@dawnthatcher1412]

You really need to watch her perform she's fabulous. Another Welsh legend.

[@stephaniesasso1560]

Diamonds are forever too she has a great voice and the movies were great grew up watching them you would love the bond movies and the songs are🔥🔥🔥😍

[@Luuuc]

I'm pretty sure Jay's ears will perk up if you check out "Diamonds are forever" next, due to it being sampled for a very well known hip hop track. Absolutely iconic voice.

[@lizdavies3867]

AT LAST. YES. SO MANY SONGS TO CHOOSE FROM. WELSH LIKE OUR TOM.X

[@craigarandolph]

Yesss my mother was from Tiger Bay Cardiff and went to school with Shirley , are from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿?

[@rushian77]

Bassey is brilliant recorded, but otherworldly live. She has one if the best ever pop voices but might be the greatest actor of a song we've ever seen. It adds so much to her already incredible sound.

Her And Tom Jones are the Two Best Welsh Singers Wonderful Vocals.

[@magneto7930]

Shirley Bassey is a vocal powerhouse!

[@darcyferrier775]

There have been 25 James Bond OO7 movies in total starting with "Dr No" in 1962 and the last (so far) being "No time to die) in 2021. "Gold Finger" was released 1964. My personal favorite Bond theme song has to be Paul McCartney's "Live and let die" from 1973!

Matt Monro:From Russia With Love...what a voice that Sintra said was the best:)

[@Bejewelle88]

Shirley is an icon and a legend! She's definitely theatrical! Wonderful Welsh songstress! And - she sounds absolutely amazing even nowadays - you wouldn't believe it! Yes, Diamonds are Forever is out of this world too - as is Moonraker (both also James Bond tunes) Very old school glam performer - Teehee 'Hey Big Spender' is one to check out too! 'The minute he walked in the joint!' (DUMDOOM!!)- 'I could tell he was a man of distinction - a real big spend-ah!' Classic,. She's amazing.

[@sharonspencer2796]

You have to see her live performance in the 1960s when the James Bond movie was released. I promise you will love her performance, her stage presence. 💜

Class with a cherry on top. One of the original Divas.

[@b-six-twelve]

If the “Midas touch” didn’t give it away, supervillain Goldfinger has a predilection for leaving his victims encased in gold. I love that some of the backing in this song feels very adjacent to the 007 theme that appears in most of the Bond films (including Goldeneye, the one the N64 game is based on). 😊

[@DaveM-FFB]

I grew up with James Bond movies. I've seen every single one (27 in all). And each one has a signature song that you never forget.

[@debbicook1584]

Shirley is Welsh like Tom Jones. She passed out on the last note recording this and Tom passed out singing the last note of the Bond theme for Thunderball!!!

[@georgewallerlll496]

Shirley Bassey is a Dame in the UK, very respected as a singer!

[@r.t.aegean3236]

Amber, have you heard that Tom Jones sang the theme song for the James Bond movie "Thunderball"? There's also a story that he gave the last note of the song so much oomph, that he literally passed out! Many thanks and many blessings to you and Jay, and family for sharing these podcasts with us on KZbin.

[@johnturner170]

Shirley Bassey was supposed to sing the theme for the film that became Thunderball. Originally it was called Mr Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, but then the producers changed the name to Thunderball. The song writers wrote the new song with Shirley in mind, but due to a clash with work she couldn't do it so they asked Tom Jones. He sang it in Shirley's key! No wonder he passed out at the end. He has verified this in interviews.

[@r.t.aegean3236]

@@johnturner170 Question : was it Shirley Bassey, or Dionne Warwick? As you probably know, there's a recorded version of Dionne Warwick singing "Mr Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" available.

[@johnturner170]

Shirley did it first.

[@coulterry67]

What is it about Welsh people and their fabulous voices? The female Tom Jones. Miss Bassey used to headline all the top UK variety shows, think she was at Glastonbury in recent years. She wore backless dresses and was glamour personified in her heyday, she is still a glamorous woman. Hey Big Spender, Diamonds are Forever and I who have nothing are some of her popular hits

[@withwilltheresaway3802]

Being a Bond fan for decades, the key to a great Bond movie is a great music theme such as Goldfinger, Live and Let Die, and You Know My Name.

[@Barb5001]

This recording was a monster hit on all AM and FM radio stations of all genres

[@roystone9932]

NOT HEARD OF DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY ...........you are in for a real treat .

[@neilscarratt3568]

ONE OF THE MOST PURRRRRFECT WOMEN IN EVERYWAY OF ALL TIME TREMENDOUS !! Listen too Also PLEASE.. I WHO HAVE KNOW ONE PURE CLASS LIKE HER AND IN FUN 🍾😎😊🧨

[@albertsmith9315]

You two are too young to know how each James Bond movie's theme song was important and could be made into a hit for the artist. This is from the best era, the Sean Connery time of the series. I saw it when it was released and can still remember every word.

[@brianjay123]

Oh you should've watched her live version - she's amazing!

[@isabelsilva62023]

Legend has it Dame Shirley nearly fainted during that final note, you MUST watch "Goldfinger". Also please watch her singing this live (even if in your own time) the 1974 Royal Albert Hall version, the sensuality/elegance is off the charts.

[@turdferguson3475]

Shirley was the total package. I'll don't understand how she never achieved superstar status.

[@user-fu4xm4hs3j]

One of the best Bond songs sung by a great singer, she puts so much emotion into her songs.She did a good version of Pinks 'Get the party started'-Colin Ward.
