Dame Shirley Bassey was brilliant and awesome. Golden voice and simple movements will attract moths to the flame. That is the magic of Dame Shirley's live concert. I'm fortunate enough to see Shirley live concerts four times. After her concerts we were so high that it took a week to come down. Thanks for showing this clip. You Tube is cruel and heartless many Shirley videos have been removed recently!!! Try to watch all Shirley videos if you can, before You Tube remove them all.
this is from "viva diva" a BBC special from 1998, the whole concert is on here. however, a search for "viva diva" will not lead you to the best quality version. this is to be found under "shirley bassey pyramids" or on daanemartina's channel.

Yeah she is, but when I saw her perform at the Chicago reunion, she is NOTHING like she was back when she first performed in chicago. Now, her skin looks like its falling off, and her voice sounds like she constantly chain smokes and coughs a lot. I was mortified.
Totally agree with you but never, ever make comparisons between Dame Shirley and other terific artists. This is simply to be completely enjoyed. (Check this out, as a side point, my aunt Shula is a personal friend of Chita.)
To synchronise: Shirley's smile is set at the same time or rate during each peformance. At times, her warm smile expands. That's what I meant, okay? Okay.
Best version of a great song. Those legs and DSB put the others to shame.

Dame Shirley's high heels have to be at least 4 inches high. She's brave to wear them for this number. Great. --- David

Another side of Shirley I'd not seen before! Any idea when this was recorded? Was it from her BBC Shows in the 1970's?

@Republicrat74 That's the Original London Revival cast of Chicago, so it can't be earlier than 1997.

Shirley's signature trademark during every performance is a Twinkle in her eye! Have you noticed this? Also, she has a synchronised swimmer smile.
collettestevie 4 years ago
Absolutely! But please can you explain me what a "synchronised swimmer smile" is?
