ABOUT the LP - Never Never Never:
Never Never Never is a 1973 album by Shirley Bassey. Released in May 1973, this album saw a peak in the Shirley Bassey career revival that she was experiencing during the early 1970s. The album's lead single, the title track had been a hit, reaching No.8 in the UK Charts and remaining in the top 50 for 19 weeks, becoming one of her biggest and most well-known hits, and her only single to make three US charts: No. 48 on the Billboard Hot 100, No.8 on the Adult Contemporary Chart, and No. 67 on the R&B Chart. The album soon followed and similarly entered the top 10, peaking at No. 10 during a 10 week run, and would go on to earn a silver disc. The album also was a hit in the US, peaking at No. 60 on the Billboard 200 amid positive reviews; it also hit No. 34 on the R&B Chart.
LYRICS:
I'd like to run away from you,
but if you never found me I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put around me,
but I know I never will
You stay away and all I do
is wonder why the hell I wait for you
But when did common sense prevail
for lovers when we know it never will
Impossible to live with you,
but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
want to be in love with anyone but you
You never treat me like you should,
so what's the good of loving as I do?
Although you always laugh at love,
nothing else would be good enough for you
Impossible to live with you,
but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me laugh,
you make me cry,
you make me live,
you make me die, for you
You make me sing,
you make me sad,
you make me glad,
you make me mad, for you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
want to be in love with anyone but you

There will NEVER, NEVER be any one like Shirley Bassey.

Lucky enough to see her live with my Mum. God bless and RIP xxx

[@MrUniman609]

Shirley, Dusty, Petula, all talented singers from the U.K. for me it's Shirley, she moves me, what a terrific voice!

[@saint00]

Music from my childhood...I was looking her up and 2 years before this show in 1985 her daughter past away...imagine the strength 2 years later to be on stage and sing such moving songs. I'll never forget her voice and music...one of my all time favourites.

[@merciamaritz8728]

My late sister Vondra totally adored miss Shirley. And this dong I had to sing on her memorial service. I will always link this song to my beloved sister. Thank you miss Bassey ❤❤❤❤ much love

[@lisaleroux818]

This song reminds me of my parents... My father died in a motorbike accident in 1978, he was the love of my mother's life. This song would make her so emotional. ❤❤😢

[@precyraytos7884]

My favorite singer of all times

[@lynettejacobs7151]

Her singing makes songs come alive and talks to you... ❤

[@normagrant1881]

As a young girl, I was ahead of my time. Classics by Matt Munroe, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones and others of that era mesmerized me. Much older now, I took a trip down memory lane last night. I began with "Yesterday when I was young" by Matt. Then I switched to Shirley, and I haven't stopped since . It's now 5:17 PM the following day, and I've been listening to Shirley since noon today. I'm now listening to Engelbert Humperdinck singing the same song Yesterday when I was young. Why am I saying all this? I just want to say thank you KZbin: a perfect escape from politics and prime time. Thanks for a sensational form of escapism - being mesmerized by Shirley.

[@sas9023055]

Hi Norma: All the singers you have mentioned are my favorites as well. I will be seeing Engelbert in concert in Beverly Hills in October. I wish that Dame Shirley would do ONE last Tour, but I certainly understand that touring the world does take its toll, especially when you are in your 80's. Regards, Scot

[@jamesconner7116]

KZbin really makes me happy when I find artists I have forgotten , or International singers I happen across here. And, yes, Shirley is the embodiment of so many things I have enjoyed musically during my 74 years....

[@arnaldoiannotta2092]

No one in Italy dares to do a Mina's cover. Only you and your voice could have done a good job. Beautiful cover. Brava and thanks for taking it to England.

[@sas9023055]

Hi Arnaldo: I would not classify this as an official cover. Yes, the melody is the same, but the lyrics have been completely re-written in English. The original songwriters signed off on this, and are listed as the songwriters for both the Grande Grande Grande (Italian) and Never Never Never (English) versions. The English version was a huge hit for Shirley on several continents.

[@arnaldoiannotta2092]

​@@sas9023055 Carissima Dame Shirley.. I have too much respect for you as a woman singer and an artist. But I'm afraid yours is a cover...official or not is your own version from an original Italian song, hence a cover!! I even disagree when said that it has rewritten in English as some sentences are exactly the right translation from Italian. As for another example: Dio come ti amo it's another cover. Nothing wrong with the covers. And I'm sure the writers and Mina agreed to let you do your own version because of who you are and your voice hence sure it would have been an international hit. They would have refused to give it to Sandie Show or Petula Clark so to speak. Be proud of your cover...us Italians we are, still with much appreciation admiration and love.

When she sings, she is telling a story. I am now 53 years old and I've been listening to Shirley Bassey since I was a teenager. One Sunday I heard the song Never Never Never and I run to get my cassette and taped it. I practiced that song until I know it. The reality of that song will always live on because it was an experience being shared that most of us can attest to.

[@jcka2004]

My mom loves this song but she don't know how to use smartphones after decades she now again listened to this song I just searched the lyrics that she told me that stucked on her head coz she don't know who's the singer and even the title of this song She's now 56 yrs old she's turning 57 on September Love from Philippines 🇵🇭❣️

Altogether a great artist,and a wonderful person.
