1.40 she sings Moonraker for all the tone deaf idiots that think this is Goldfinger! She starts off with Goldfinger, but moves to Moonraker! And then on to Diamonds are Forever! QED!
Is she African American? Not that it will make me feel any differently about her. I am 49 year old AA and until tonight i never heard of her in the Black Community that's why i asked.
Gorgeous and magnificent singer. One of my favourite singers of all time. Apparently she didn't want to sing the Moonraker theme originally but ended up doing it. Another version I like is this one 'Moonraker: Joan Martin' on YT. Have a listen and see if you like it too. Just found it.
@TheEnjima ........Listen to the whole video and Shirley Bassey sings, Goldfinger, MOONRAKER & Diamonds are Forever,,,,,,,its sounds good, if your a big James Bond fan..So listen to it and enjoy it.
Moonraker's theme song is my personal favorite Bond song. Shirley Bassey's performance was gorgeous! Shame that this brilliant movie was so underrated!
I agree. "Moonraker" was my favorite Bond song, too bad the score is so short. There was a lot of great pieces composed by John Barry in the movie, but sadly never made it to CD.
@PleaseLikeMyComments Have you ever been to a studio recording? They tell you when to clap and when to stand! Do you really think the audience do what they want? OMG! Have you see American Idol? The audience do what they are told!
Actually, she sings a medley of all 3 Bond themes she covered for the movies. Makes me wish for the old days of Bond music. With the exception of Tina Turner and Chris Cornell, the Bond music has been pretty weak lately. Wish the rumours of Genesis or The Killers doing a song had been true
Goldfinger...ahhh.....Got a license to kill, drive a DB-5 and a cute chick on the side....this life must be soooo....no idea...manlike?.....dont know, but it must feel good
Moonraker, what a most Romantic score! The comment below I totally agree, along with OHMSS (the love theme), maybe the 2 most beautiful Bond scores by The Man.
Yes! Moonraker is my favorite Bond song. It positively flows...wonderfully balanced; ultra romantic lyrics and music. Spine-chilling. Sensational Shirley.
Well, they both have 3 syllables. You could also substitute "fishmonger," "Joe Plumber," "Joe Namath," "spotmaker," "zit popper" or "Obama." On the other hand, there are other three-syllable words or phrases that wouldn't work because of the emphasis in the song on the second syllable -- "prostitute," "imbecile," "Hillary" or "John McCain," for example.
Unmercifully, the camera does add weight on Shirley. Truthfully, she does seem a bit thick boned...hormones...putting on weight probably due to her jet-set lifestyle...partying, drinking champagne and yes, she is getting up there in age. We love Shirley no matter her size.
Hello. I agree with you about Carly Simon singing another Bond song. I adore The Spy Who Loved Me. Flawless performance. Stand by for whether or not our Shirley will sing the new 007 theme song. I hope so. Maybe Bono could join her.
Great! I know Bond must go on and follow time, but, I think it is time to take some of that ol`classy calm Barry stuff, maybe bring some of that into the film as well. I saw the newest Bond-sets are a homage to Ken Adam! I went to london and to an art exibition, and a lady at the gallery told me she met him, bechause he had an exibition there. So I bought a book of him straight away! Great, just great! :) :)
The book is interesting with interview and pictures. I bought the book where he had that exibition. I was two months late for that though :( He he / He is an inspiration!
Bollinger, Royal Beluga, beautiful ladies, lovely hotelroom, calm lovely night, and this Lady singing some slow swing jazz.. Hi class! Thats all I need..
Dame Shirley is one of the greatest singers of our time. People are so used to below par singing nowadays that they don't recognize greatness when they hear it. Thank god some of us still know a good thing when we hear it. I love you Shirley! =)
if I heard this on radio, I'd think this was a very effeminate sounding man! There's no way that's a man's voice!! Such ignorance. Any man or woman would be darn lucky to sound like this.
One of my favorite songs of all time... I remember walking around our small town when I was 16 or 17...let's say over a decade ago :) in the early evening one day, with this song in my head. Shirley has such a gorgeous voice that lets all her emotion show though. Thank you!
This is the title song of the james bond movie entitled, Moonraker. It is one of my favourites, i prefer it to Goldfinger, it is much less well known tho.
Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some 1960's chart topping stars: Shirley Bassey, Lonnie Donegan, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, and Billy Furry.
Pure singing at its very best... no backing, no double tracking, pure vocal skill. Shirley Bassey's singing is passionate, sexy, expressive and the ease is amazing. Even her 'coloratura', blending diverse textures to her singing is of unique pleasure to listen to, making us very lucky to have her alive and kicking in her amazing music.
