Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey, DBE (born 8 January 1937) is a Welsh singer whose career began in the mid-1950s. She is best known for recording the theme songs to the James Bond films Goldfinger (1964), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), and Moonraker (1979).
In 2000, Bassey was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II for services to the performing arts. In 1977 she received the Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist in the previous 25 years. Bassey has been called "one of the most popular female vocalists in Britain during the last half of the 20th century."
Shirley Veronica Bassey was the sixth and youngest child of Henry Bassey and Eliza Jane Start, and was born in Tiger Bay, Cardiff, Wales. Her father was Nigerian and her mother was English, from Teesside. Two of her mother's four children from previous relationships lived in the Bassey household. Bassey's mother listed her first husband, Alfred Metcalfe, as her own father in the registry of her marriage to Henry Bassey, giving rise to speculation that this marriage was bigamous in the absence of a prior divorce. Eliza and Henry's second child died in infancy, so Shirley was born into a household of three sisters, two half-sisters, and one brother.

2011 - Dame Shirley Bassey appears on the Classic BRIT Awards Show) Dame Shirley closes the 2011 Classic Brit Awards Show (May 12, 2011) by paying tribute to John Barry. Shirley is spectacular, once again, as she sings one of her hits, Goldfinger, which was co-written by John Barry, Leslie Bricusse, Don Black and Anthony Newley. Bassey is the UKs most successful female recording artist of all time, with approaching 140 Million records sold worldwide! Not bad for someone who never originally intended to go into show business!! Shirley recorded two versions of this song. She recorded the soundtrack to the movie, 'Goldfinger' and then she recorded a version to be sold as a 'single.' Both versions are superb, but I believe she holds that big last note longer here, on the 'Single' versi...

Where is the solace that I crave? Will it still haunt me to my grave? Too broken to forgive, too painful to relive now! There may be other arms to hold. They'll only keep me from the cold. There always be a space, a fact I have to face now! How long does a heart stay broken? How long if the pain's unspoken? No solace in a kiss; No comfort in the sigh, No good about goodbye. My heart is no good at pretending. It knows that the hurts never ending. No solace in a kiss; No comfort in the sigh, No good about goodbye. There's only so much you can give. Only through forgets to live. And easy thing to say. The pass will go away now! How long does a heart stay broken? How long if the pain's unspoken? No solace in a kiss; No comfort in the sigh, No good about goodbye. My heart is no good at prete...

My DVD at http://www.ALLIAX.net Please comment on my videos. Killing Me Softly with His Song played on chromatic harmonica. "Killing Me Softly with His Song" is a 1971 song composed by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel, which has become a pop standard. The song was inspired by a poem by Lori Lieberman, "Killing Me Softly with His Blues", which she wrote after seeing a then-unknown Don McLean perform the song Empty Chairs live. Song and cover versions Lieberman was the first to record Fox and Gimbel's song, in 1971, but it became a bigger hit when covered by Roberta Flack in 1973, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks. It was replaced by "Love Train" by the The O'Jays. "Killing Me Softly" returned to the top of the U.S. charts replacing "Love Train". R&B; artist Al B. Su...

Paul O'Grady (Radio 2, Sunday) really suits his slot on the network. His banter is reliably funny and warm, with an occasional top note of comic sourness, and real relish for the music. Yesterday's programme featured an interview with Dame Shirley Bassey, and it was never going to be a serious affair. They reminisced about last time they got together at an awards show.

Remember
Why must I remember
Why can't I simply close my eyes, go to sleep
And make him disappear
Why must I always hear
Dio come ti-amo
Those were the words he said
Oh god how much I love you
It still runs through my head
The wind began to blow
And all the leaves were flying
He stood there in the night
And tried to keep from crying
What could I have told him
What could I say of you
When love has lost it's meaning
It's over, it's through
And so I hurried on
For someone new was waiting
To hold me in his arms
In endless celebrating
But that was long ago
And many loves have I
But only one was real
And that I let slip by
Dio come ti-amo
I still can hear him say
Oh god how much I love you
Yet I walked away
I know, it's much to late
But I go right on praying
To have you back again
So you can hear me saying
Dio come ti-amo
Oh god how much I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
