Love This! Started me down the path of singing again. Let me know your thoughts on my channel. I plan on singing this song next moth...DSB changed my life.....Amazing spirit...
She must be about 72 y/o here. She looks great, sounds great, interprets pretty well, but the changes in lyrics are inexplicable. Not changes per se, but the specific changes upset the rhyme sequences which, in turn, fundamentally changes the Gestalt of the song.
This song is pretty damn amazing. I heard it first sung by Elaine Stritch, at Sondheim´s 80th birthday show. Well, it was mostly acted, because Stritch cannot sing as she used to anymore, but it worked. Because I liked it so much, I started to browse ”ze vast expanse” of YT and found it sung by Shirley and, needless to say, I got goose pimples. Basically it reminded me what a gifted vocalist and entertainer she is. I wish songwriters would write more material for that unbelievable voice of hers.
Jonas you are so right, she is unbeatable. And that is saying alot since fantastic vocalist like Barbra Streisand and Earth Kitt have done it. But Dame Shirley just inhabits a song like no other. I love how I can understand all of her lyrics.
Thank the Good Lord our Dame Shirley Bassey still here to entertain us. Happy Birthday for Jan the 8. Your stage presentation was still world class and every song you sang was crystal clear.
I thank the Almighty that she is still here. I just love Dame Shirley. She sings this so fantastically. What a great concert! She is just so sassy, what a great attitude! Love it! Sounds wonderful!
I ADORE EVERYTHING THIS DAME SINGS,SHE IS JUST WONDERFUL,I COULD LISTEN ALL DAY LONG. SOMETIMES I DO. I HAVE INTRODUCED HER TO MY YOUNG FRIENDS AND THEY AREMAD OVER DAME SHIRLEY!!
And she is STILL hot at this age - not just hot for her age; hot for any age.

I put my name also to wishing the BBC would release the Round-House set as a DVD.

@divinedavid
Shirley did unfortunately not record this.
She sang it on a tv show in 2005, at a concert in 2006 and in London 2009 (this video).
I hope she will record this some time soon, she is still here!
