It is called music. This is technical skill. This is the power of voice. This is real hypnotism. This song takes the human soul to heavens. Only Shirley Bassey can sing such a song.

[@Del-Lebo]

Again, I watch this again....over and over....You make Shirley Bassey More magnificent as she is! The Divine sonic intelect of Yello has inspired and thrilled me since I was 11years old! And Now I am 57!!!

What a combination! Mysterious music from Yello and the voice of one of the best female singers worldwide ever! Perfect! Goosebumps! Thank you, Yello, thank you, Shirley B.!

[@hoffmeistertv]

now you have to be strong: ;-) i was responsible for the back projection back in 1987 😅while we were shooting the video @ CCC-studios in Berlin. it was still shot on film and i had to present Shirley the footage of the first day shooting, she wanted to decide if she will continue to cooperate. but Dieter, the director, didn't dare to show up. so i was ALONE with Shirley in her darkend cabin... life time experience. 🙂 - she continued and finished her job (y)

This was one of my must play songs at my wedding. I'm from Poland, and lived in Rome, so the lyrics " from Warsaw to Rome" have a special meaning to me. On top of that it's produces by Yello, one of my favourite groups, and Shirley Bassey's voice is amazing, this is one of my fav songs of all time. This coming from a guy who loves rap and techno.

Don't let yourself be defined by your main music tastes. There is great music everywhere, but only a few people are brave enough to venture outside their comfort zone.

Shirley Bassey and Yello for their work should have multiple awards. This woman can just sing. This is driving along a quiet road with the windows down, fresh night air song.

[@28e632u]

Worked at a trade show at the time and we had this song on at full volume for the full 2 weeks to show the superior range of the loudspeakers. Never got tired of it. It still makes my soul hum and tickles my skin. Boombastic

[@ScottWoodardStudio]

My favorite Yello song. It still gives me chill bumps after all these years.

[@valiko85]

Yello had made something unique. Something that anchored you. Something like bridge from 80s to present. I was made in 1985 and my father later showed me yello and art of noise casettes. That was something like not like other. It can’t be described with words.

[@garybaldwin6045]

Ever since the 80's when it was first released I thought it would be one of the top 3 Bond songs ever.

[@rhonwenjaneparry1987]

I wish that this song went on and on, it grips your heart.

[@clarewebber288]

Billy Mackenzie singing it is great too.

[@TheAcousticRabbitHole]

Shirley Bassey agreed to sing this for Yello because she has class. 'Nuff said.

What a voice! She's her own special creation and will never be matched. Nobody sings like she does, she "lives" her songs when she sings; her voice is electrifying. Could listen to her - and do so -for countless years without a break. She is and will be the greatest singer of all time; she's one in a million and even more - she's just unique. Thank you for the joy you gave us through the years and still give us. Dame Shirley, we do love you.

I haven't heard this in years! Bassey makes it seem so effortless, but the vocals span over two-and-a-half octaves When I was in a band, I thought we could cover this, but that final section nearly split my head open. This should have been a them song for 007.

[@newforestpixie5297]

Exactly- I’m not patriotic and bond lost any appeal since my son took me to watch the one where bond is imprisoned and looks like Jesus then it’s a succession of explosions for two hours But this song is more Bond than half of the chosen acts and tunes since god knows when. I don’t get why it wasn’t considered or agreed upon. A mighty tune for a mighty movie. Regards from wessexshire
