[starkfine4]

[Thorneycroft1937]

@starkfine4 yes they showed him several times, he sat near to roger moore

[buggybunn]

Wow...imagine sustaining that last note with power...amazing

[judyrusso]

I noticed Mr. Bond in the audience-Pierce Brosnan

[nlsnbebang]

she can shook d world in that last note....

[CodebladeWielder006]

7:07 OMG What a fucking legend!

[IFINEVERSING]

the art is he seeming to make it effortless, singing of this level requires talent dedication self discipline and experience and conviction coupled with 100 % concentration, we are fortunate to have experienced Bassey the incomparable!

[TheSlicingKing8]

Dame Shirley Bassey is the real deal!!! Cannot be touched!!!

[japieee]

I dare any other 61 year old (at that time!) to belt out a note as powerful as that last one. Oh my god, that last note. I died.

[Thorneycroft1937]

@japieee 65 at that time.

[daggerthore]

That last note! OMG! Her voice is pure power, and she makes it look so effortless!

[QuantumBond007]

Perfect ... beautiful effects (color to white - Diamonds Are Forever, the color of gold - Goldfinger = beautiful + beautiful song) ... 5 / 5

[Thorneycroft1937]

GREAT!

@Thorneycroft1937

I agree with you and today when we hear the news of the death of John Barry , when you speak of Bassey and Barry together what a combination , his music and her version transport you to a world of intrigue and mystery .

[Thorneycroft1937]

@cottingleybaby You are totally right.

Not only their common Bond songs but also the 2009 song (Barry's last) on Shirley's album called Our time is now and My love has two faces by Shirley arranged by him are pure magic.

[likyam84]

God i'm crying at the last portion. her voice is so much powerful. wish she was my mother! i'd be proud of her

[likyam84]

can anyone send me the details of this clip? i've died trying to know where she performed this.

[Gareth25277]

I watched this program in 2003, I believe it was a 40th anniversary celebration of the james bond films, broadcast on the english tv station BBC1.

[rodoShaolin2]

What a great singer, and the songs are unforgettable...I love them!

[cchambers5]

how old is she in this video?

[bucks8789]

Hi, not too sure when this went out ! But i think Shirley was possibly 66 at the time.

I am sure we will get a feed back with more info from her fans !

[TaylorBurton]

It was recorded in 2002, so DSB was 65.

[Halo7396]

hay hay hay. ;D

lol the video is so true eC

[NHK1111111111]

THIS is a powerful voice. Pisses all over the other "divas".

[divaqueen]

Dame Shirley is an amazing entertainer. She has only improved with time (I prefer her phrasing on some songs now as opposed to the 60's and 70's versions). She and one of my other favorite divas, Donna Summer, are models of vocal preservation. LOVE them!!

[NHK1111111111]

preservation and IMPROVEMENT ;)

[divaqueen]

Very true, particularly for Shirley but really for Donna too. Both great ladies.

[PepperPhoenix]

Wow, she has such power! And it seems totally effortless.

I consider myself a tolerable singer, but god i would give anything to have a voice like hers.

[TheUglyBeauty]

I want to sing like that

[depechemode691983]

[oprah22]
