Shirley Bassey - Breakfast in Bed (TOTP2 1971)

[MrCherryJuice]

Ummmm... love Shirley, but this about 'breakfast in bed', and Dusty has the sensual bit hands down. Shirley, in typical form, comes on more than a little too strong. Sounds like she's demanding, not coyly suggesting... Yup, Dusty on this one.

Shirley's version is better than Dusty's

[corLTD]

Great rendition! I still prefer Dusty's sensual version, though.

@corLTD Dusty's is the ONLY sensual version, Bassey and Washigton just belt them out- UB40 just also rans.

love this song. and Shirley wearing her natural hair in onstage in '71. Rarity.

Why they never showed this performance on the 29th April 1971 edition, I felt disappointed after that, The Mixtures video went straight into the Ringo Starr video. But althoughly UK Gold never edited Chrissie Hynde & UB40's cover of the song on the June 1988 edition.

Then EinsFestival had never shown it either. but only TOTP2 showed the performance twice, the only programme.

This is a beautiful song sang by our Dame Shirley Bassey. Thanks for posting this clip. Shirley was brilliant with all her songs and I love each and every one of them.
