There is a black and white version of this is my life on an Italian TV show. Google Shirley Bassey La Vita This is my Life. I think its the best female vocal performance ever.

[@davidmitchell1959]

I’m 66 and used to hear her regularly. She was The Best female singer ever at that time. Then Streisand came along and then Whitney and my heart wavered. Yet hearing this again tonight makes me think the Crown still belongs to Shirley.

[@steveknows62]

She makes Streisand sound like a schoolgirl.

[@kerrydoohan1862]

I'm similar age and grew up with them all All fantastic in their own styles (Karen Carpenter singing Don't Cry for me Argentina comes close too) ...have you heard Amy Winehouse Back to Black...not this magnitude but absolute honesty for a modern artist

[@philipbaker4840]

Utterly stunning from the beginning. Shirley has been my earliest mental pin up vocalist for 53 years. I watched & heard her sing in 1970 "I who have nothing", and from that time its was love at first sight. Shirley has always thrilled my emotions with her beauty and voice. Who can blame me?SHIRLEY BASSEY - A WELSH BEAUTY WITH THE STUNNING VOICE FOREVER

[@floouk]

F*****g brilliant! That woman could not only sing but certainly knew how to perform and deliver a song.

[@sas9023055]

floouk - Dame Shirley is now 78 yo, and she still can sing and deliver a song with unprecedented power and performance. I recently posted together both Shirley's 1961 and 2014 Royal Variety Performances in one clip. Bassey is certainly a One-Of-A-Kind Singer/Performer...Check it out..

[@SimonSverige]

She still can.

[@michelbilodeau3256]

[@laughingachilles]

When you read about her life and relationships I think it becomes clear that she was channeling some real experiences during her performances.

Man, I'm so glad I came up when hits were written with meaningful lyrics that did not degrade women, sung by truly talented singers, with real instruments played to perfection. Today's music has truly lost their way. Thanks for "doin' what you do." You're good at it, and I love you for it!

[@cpg_1982]

After I die, if there was a chance to return to this cruel world, I’d love to be a Lady Bassey ❤

[@sas9023055]

This is exactly what she was going for in her 40's and 50's. When she first recorded this song back in 1963, she included the longer note phrasing of a young singer who portrays someone who has lost her crush. But, in Shirley's older versions she is portraying someone more bitter about never finding Mr. Right. Shirley is able to sing this song any way she likes, but as she got older she chose this arrangement for this song. This is what makes her unique in comparison to all the rest.

[@sajidris]

Her an Tom Jones, both have pipes

[@sas9023055]

Not to mention that at 76 yo, Bassey still has golden vocal pipes and she still receives standing ovations wherever she appears. Not all these people who attended the Oscars are specifically Shirley Bassey fans, but they all know an outstanding vocalist when they hear AND watch one.

[@sas9023055]

stt0231 You are oh so right! Shirley is from an era where being a recording artist was not just glamorous; it is/was hard work. To this day, Bassey completes grueling vocal exercises every day, which she considers just part of being the best that she can be. Singers of today have sophisticated technology that allows a artist with a very weak voice to sell millions of records, and performing any such vocal exercises are out of the question. But most of the younger generation who accidently find one of Shirley's clips, and who are unbiased will come to the conclusion that, at least in the case of Shirley Bassey, it has paid off for her.

Shirley Bassey has always been remembered in the USA more for her powerful high fidelity voice, her glamour, and the way she moves when she sings over any single hit she has recorded. Few artists, past or present, can sing one song and receive a standing ovation. But, besides Goldfinger, Shirley is known in the USA for Diamonds Are Forever, Moonraker, Never Never Never, and her recent recording of Get The Party Started. also,The number one country for viewing Shirley's music on KZbin is USA
