Shirley Bassey - Live at the Royal Albert Hall 1973/1974 [wide screen]

[@unscriptedSF]

transcendent beauty humanity femininity and talent ! dear god what a performer!

[@karenbarlow4300]

My father's favorite singer now seeing this concert I see why!!!

[@lewstone1934]

When you grow up with this - you can see why modern performers seem like amateurs by comparison - no contest - this IS world-class. For real !

[@jobucknall1408]

Most singers seem amateurs when compared to Shirley Bassey.

[@mrgivins9690]

We say the same thing with music rap, hip-hop, R&B, etc! Elvis Pressly I heard was good!

[@GCKelloch]

Lot's of great singers today, if you know where to look. I guess the closest analogy today would be Beyonce. I haven't listened to her enough to tell, but I don't think she can do what Bassey could do...and I don't think Bassey could do what Cassandra Wilson does. Bassey was a broad/loud Vegas style singer with a nasal timbre and exaggerated vibrato, similar to Ethel Merman. Like Merman, I get the impression she sang unamplified a lot in her youth. Make no mistake, I still think she was great, but there are many great singers today under the radar.

[@markp2827]

Totally agree with you! No auto tune here, no gimmicks, etc.. just pure talent, singing and entertaining! You can tell it takes a lot out of her! Another great performance of hers is Talk of the Town, 1972.

[@FallacyAsPraxis]

@@GCKelloch LOL. ok.

The best female singer ever to grace the stage. Phasing, articulation, raw emotion, sensuality. The full package. God bless her.

no solo es su gran voz poderosa y perfectamente dominada..............es ella misma en si mismo es un espectaculo jamas visto......................................la Ma grande.........................

[@alexsaitta4041]

Back in the 1960's and 1970's it was about the song writer, singer and performer. Many produced their own music too like Buddy Holly or Led Zeppelin. That was talent. Today music is about a big voice, because of all these singing shows on TV. And even then their voices are no match for the likes of Julie Andrews or Shirley Bassey. Bassey's voice has personality and when she gets on a note, man, she's like a laser beam.

Shirley Bassey my favorite female singer known as " The Belter" for her powerful voice. I love her song "Never Never." Thanks for posting.

[@Jentilly1868]

Got to agree with you..what a song it is!❤

[@raindrops21_9]

The thing is she can belt out a note and in the very next breath sing a note in perfect pianissimo. That is the mark of a superb singer.

[@KT-kb8kh]

She’s a huge star in her country and many others. She came to the United States in the 70’s looking for success here. And she never found it. I do not understand why this talent was not well received here. Always been a huge fan. Love her! And a real looker!

[@401DONOR]

This concert was at her absolute peak of her career...don’t get me wrong...just trying to imagine roaring London...every song was perfectly performed and Dame Shirley Bassey was like a Magician to the audience...her expression, the power of her voice and the drama she puts in every song...amazingly arranged...the conductor taking notice of every note from her...the endless joy when she was greeting her fans...kissing her hands... Just superb 🤩 I wish her, that she will never forget how much we love and admire her...what she means to her admirers...Thank you Mrs. Dame Shirley Bassey! ✨💐💖💐✨

[@missypoo8545]

She has an impeccable voice and diction. The greatness of a singer is when you can understand clearly the words they are singing. Nancy Wilson was another singer with impeccable voice clarity and diction in her performances.

[@mrgivins9690]

Agreed as I've found a singer in the language I'm studying going on 4 years fitting what you wrote and I've compared her to Shirley and more great singers in different genre!

[@GCKelloch]

@@mrgivins9690 Who?

[@GCKelloch]

Well, diction helps understand the lyrics (which are often trite filler), but singing is really a visceral artform. Bassey was quite adept at it. I generally prefer Nancy Wilson, and Ella was the best of the best, but this concert is spectacular.

[@raquelsaenz5899]

Also Sinatra and Nat king Cole had great dictions

[@lisastephens3692]

Sinatra? Sorry, he couldn't even be bothered to sing proper lyrics! His diction wasn't special. I loved him, but must take issue at the comment by @raquelsaenz5899

[@michaelthibodeaux503]

Hands down the best female artist of all time. So talented. So expressive in her songs. So much heart and soul. Not just a singer. A true entertainer. So damn gorgeous. I was only two when she was doing this concert but my goodness, that beauty. She’s 82 now. And I still think she is beautiful. Much love to you Dame Shirley😘

[@MrSwifts31]

When you meet Shirley,over a period of years,in your work, as I did.I worked at The Dorchester Hotel,and served/met her on many occasions,and I (and the other staff) became a part of her extended family,and she treated us like that too.I went(with some colleagues) to this concert,with tickets(best front row seats) given to us by Shirley.We had drinks and canapes after in her dressing room.Offstage Shirley is an ordinary,kind,thoughtful,quiet person (with a great & risque sense of humour).I have many great memories of my time at The Dorchester (many film stars etc) but they are dwarfed by my memories of Shirley.

[@home2624]

M P As you like James Bond I was wondering if you have seen Shirley singing The Living Tree live at Royal Variety (on you tube). Although this isn't a James Bond song it certainly should have been as you will realise when you hear it, and her performance of it is nothing short of true greatness. I hope you will enjoy it.

She doesn’t even need a microphone, and she can easily reach the back row of the Albert hall with her singing.
