Shirley Bassey ~ "Goldfinger" (1965)

[@eugenio5734]

Espectacular de las mejores de todos los tiempos.

[@NathanHayes-v2m]

I love how the audience applauded as if someone played the recorder at a kids talent show. That was out of this world

[@anthonymongelli5567]

Great Song and Picture two Superstars Shirley and Sean historical entertainment 😁👍🏻🎯💞!!!

[@johndconqueror555]

World class

[@kitty3863]

One of the greatest theme songs from the movies...ever!!

[@scottalan5282]

When you havent heard this in a while, its easy to forget just how perfect Shirley was for this song. Such a force.

[@martinriley106]

The best of all time singers. Shirley Bassey has left her legacy for life unlike today’s one minute wonders.

[@Mr_Bunk]

Oh, f*ck off. Can't you just like something without sh*thing on someone else?

[@paulnicholls1074]

60s bond was the ultimate and there was no 1 to follow Mr connery the girls the gadgets pure gold

[@veronicakashaka3299]

Honestly, this woman was born to sing, so tiny and such a big voice. I love singing of her.

Que saudades tenho de Shirley Bassey cantando "Goldfinger"

[@johndconqueror555]

GOAT

[@markusk272]

Absolutely breathtaking! Such a wonderful singer with an awesome song. Simply legendary. The 1960s at its absolute best.

[@CarlaBavosi]

Sublime!😊

[@barbarajohnson3876]

Female tom Jones, powerful pipes both Welsh

[@chrismc410]

Both almost fainted holding the last note during their initial singing of Goldfinger and Thunderball respectively

[@ursnaumann5385]

This song needs to be performaned by ballroom dancers. - Mrs. Bassey, thank you for the music and your very great voice putting people under its spell.

[@skimanfree1073]

The Lady with the Golden voice!

[@AlvaSudden]

Can you imagine the auditions to choose who would sing this song for the film? When Shirley Bassey walked in and nailed it, people must have been speechless with awe.

[@DrNoahBoddy004]

A fabulous powerhouse! The amazing Shirley Bassey! Lovely and talented!

[@tayler7441]

I rank this as the best Bond theme. The opening with the drum and trumpet still gives me chills and takes me back to when Sean Connery was James Bond and the scenes were from the 1960s.

[@hyuqie_]

I totally agree! 💯

[@maxxmasson4263]

wow that woman can sing and can hold a note

[@queenlizzy5341]

She’s 86 now and can still sing amazingly

[@richardcaridi1982]

I don't know who picked her to sing that but I don't think anyone could have done it better. Just outstanding. Great voice.

[@evagomes1590]

Her voice used to be so light back then. I know her voice well from 78 onwards but I seldom find earlier clips. The tone remained similar but the power she acquired from 76 on was insane .

[@chinesejohn812]

In 6th grade I bought this in to play for my class on the record player and the kids were not nice to me but I really liked it so much

[@donnagelina8548]

I used to think Eartha Kitt sang this song! I never watched James Bond movies. But now I see Shirley Bassey's performance, and it's absolutely stunning. What a beautiful woman and singer.

[@larkinoo]

That song sung by Shirley Bassey is so hauntingly beautiful, so ethereal, mesmerizing.........I never get tired of hearing it, hearing Shirley Bassey sing it like no one, nobody could/can sing it. And my hats off to the orchestra(s) that have accompanied Dame Shirley Bassey throughout the years in her performances recreating the excitement of this wonderful theme song.......my absolute favorite of all the 007 theme songs !!

[@maricle100]

From all the her versions I like this one best!!! Fabulous voice, unique!!

[@archangelmusic13]

i agree, this performance is even better than the recorded album version, she even did the ending longer, holding on to that last note till the end of the song, she stopped too early on the recorded version

[@darreylhenderson702]

​@@archangelmusic13She is lip syncing to the single version of the song. Just look up " goldfinger single version". She holds the no longer on that track then she did for the one they used in the movie.

[@archangelmusic13]

wow she held onto the last note longer than she did in the studio version, i always thought she ended the last note too soon in the studio version, but she held onto it here right to the end like it was meant for

[@xxfayerocksxx]

Totally get that but she said John Barry was stood there conducting saying for her to keep holding it that she was going blue in the face and the nearly fainted 😱 she did do absolutely amazing considering all that happened too though and here as well 🤗🥰❤💞💕

[@americanpatriot7233]

@@xxfayerocksxx this performance is better than the recorded version because she held the note longer and i always felt the note on the recorded version was to short because the music kept going after she stopped, but here she stays with the music and it ends when she ends

[@xxfayerocksxx]

[@johnnywirtz4905]

i agree 100 percent

[@quentinrolfe7409]

Is she lip synching for TV . There is no mic and not much movement of those Bassey hands for the 1st part of the song . As a female impersonator since '69 in Aust I have noticed this . I've also met The Dame in Melb backstage in '77 through my stage mngr friend . Memorable !! 💖

[@panagiothsaks.7298]

Everyone is wondering about the note at the end and the subtle differences throughout the song in comparison with the soundtrack version. Well, this is the mono version that was released as a single and the other one that gets the most airplay today was meant for the soundtrack primarily. This version right here is the one in which she nearly fainted at the studio. There are surely early performances of the song that she does the same note and she sings the original key but up until now i've found the 1967, 1968 and 1969-1970 performances that resemble the most the original version.

[@darreylhenderson702]

Yep!

[@lucasjames572]

Sweetie, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Lizzo have no clue. This is a true singer. Doesn’t have to have any body parts hanging out to get an audience.

That is obviously not the same recording as was used on the soundtrack, but this not a live performance either, but mimed. Not sure why they chose the version they did for the movie soundtrack. I prefer this one. Subtely different.
