  • Not only is she one of the beautiful women on the planet, she also has the most beautiful voice of any woman I have ever heard, she puts so much feeling into every song she does!!!

  • WOW, today's so called divas and icons need to watch this and consider this a friggin clinic in what SINGING is all about!!!!

  • Simply wonderful a true legend in her own life time Dame shirley Bassey .The recording of Till is still as fresh and enspiring as the day it was recorded all those years ago ,she such a brilliant artist..................

  • i am seeing a thylacine. its meant as a compliment. a rare species

  • terrific

  • music that brings tears to my eyes, but heal me while ...

  • DBS une magicienne, beauté, charme et, et, une voix sans égal!

  • She is a beautiful part of British history. What a shame we dont have singers and songs like this nowadays.Thank you Shirley. Love you.

  • This is so beautiful, she is so great!!

  • Whatta set of lungs!!! For such a little thing, Shirley sure can belt out the notes.

  • Just Amazing!!!

  • This woman can sing, never will their be anyone like her. she is fabulous

  • Although grammatically it would've be entitled 'til  !! haha...oh for poetic licence :-)

  • @hombreingles Or, perhaps not:

    Till and until are both old in the language and are interchangeable as both prepositions and conjunctions: It rained till (or until ) nearly midnight. The savannah remained brown and lifeless until (or till ) the rains began. Till is not a shortened form of until and is not spelled 'till. 'Til is usually considered a spelling error, though widely used in advertising: Open 'til ten.

  • Still fabulous, what a power and expression.

  • To this day the only more powerful version of any song by any woman is still Judy Garland's "Old man River" And then comes Shirley. No -one else touches her.

  • Exceptional artist who always delivered exceptional performances, with such a voice. No one has been able to top her! Wonderful SB!

  • yeah....she did ok..but I still believe nobody can belt out this number like Tom Jones

  • patsy cline and anita baker may sit either side of shirleys throne.

  • patsy cline and anita baker may sit either side of shirleys throne

  • the only one! 

  • That note at 2:18 is incredible, this whole performance is perfect.

    Nobody sings this song like Dame Shirley.

  • my favorite diva...she truly has the gift. i have almost all of her songs in my pc.performance of my life is my favorite. love you dsm. long live. ii am still young but i really love her music... not every artist sings the way she does.

  • I don't care what sort of music you like. If you can't hear the magnificence of this voice. The tone, the control, the power, then you are a troglodyte.

  • Wow! Fantastic voice, captivating!!!!!

  • She's stunning with a magnificent voice.

  • indeed , wow till the last note...

  • the best female singer of all time, nothing to beat her everthe tigress from cardiff bay from lesley

  • i wish she had used her gift better

    shes so drag queeny, and indulgent. she never really had a point of view. shes got the biggest voice really ever, but shes not an artist

  • @theblueangel28 I think she exhibited a point of view in most of her songs. To each their own. :)

  • @theblueangel28 You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but if Shirley Bassey is not an artist then neither were Michelangelo or Monet. Rain isn't wet, fire isn't hot, and jumping out of a plane without a parachute isn't dangerous. ;-)

  • @LouisDE1 well i guess it depends on one's definition of art.

    its like, i dont find anything illuminating or insightful about life or the soul being discovered and shared through her music. shes an entertainer, a legend, and has the biggest voice is all of music history. but she didnt change anything through her artistic contributions, culturally

  • Comment removed

  • @LouisDE1 ok. i feel you. yes that would be

  • @theblueangel28 but how many ppl "change" music culture? She contributed to it and had great success, and that is usually what matters. To me, she perfected the art of "acting" while performing, however fake it sometimes looks. She makes it ok in my mind to be as emotionally "out there" and become a character as much as possible. Other women sing with emotion and command an audience, she does so while actually "acting". You normally only see this on broadway.

  • The best of the very BEST! Love you lady.

  • This version of one of my favorite love songs totally mesmerized me......so , so, romantic. I loved it.

  • Fantastic!!!

  • My parents wedding song in 1963...

  • Brilliant........Boy...Just listen to the people.

    The orchestraion is the same as in 1961.....Lovely.

    Thanks for this.

  • There's good, there's great, there's phenomenal---then there's Bassey!  It doesn't get any better.

  • @LouisDE1

    PERFECTLY STATED!!

  • how the hell has tom jones's vastly inferior version of till been viewed 6x more than this? unbelievable!! beam me up scotty!

  • @donkiddick08 the simple fact is that he's better known in some places than our Dame. You can go and invite ppl to check this video out perhaps. But don't go saying hers is "superior"(I can't stand when ppl talk like that,and I imagine Tom fans won't either). Just say that hers is another good version that they can listen to.

  • Meu Pai, obrigado por essa maravilhosa criação !

    Inigualável, majestosa, encantadora !

    Amo essa artista. Esculpida pelas mãos de DEUS !

  • What a lovely song!

    Long live Dame Shirley!

  • is it just me or is this sticking at 1.39?

  • it's just me!

  • Sorry I was going to confirm that but you beat me to it, Don. Great song glad you now are hearing it all hopefully!

  • 'nothing compares.... very power full voice, one of a kind performer... bravo!!!!

  • Lindíssima canção, arranjo e interpretação .

  • Canzone stupenda, come stupenda è l'interpretazione.

    Grazie, Judie

  • This song by Shirley Bassey means so much to me but I won't comment here Why!

    This version by Shirley Bassey(1961) is and always will be my Favorite version of this Song over the Tony Bennett(1961) or Tom Jones(1971) versions. No one does it better then the Dame Shirley.

    Robby *****Stars++++

  • I don't think there's ever been such a golden voice before, and never there'll be another one like this. It's pure Golden Age, huge sound, perfect pathos, legato, great vocal line and control, expression, class, elegance, magnetism, elegance. What else can I say. Shirley should be eternal! Love and thanks so much for posting: You make this world better than what it is!

  • @GoldenAgeSunshine wonderfully put!

  • @Rosannasfriend

    Thanks for your appreciation. My comment is sincere and I believe DSB deserves it to the full! Thanks again, best.

  • Pure Magic

  • Ah! So glad that the video is back up. This is the absolutely definitive version.

  • Absolutely stunning in every way. She works the camera to no end and that voice never fails. WOW at that last note!

  • After you listen to Shirley Bassey sing...you might as well shut off your cd player....no one else can top her vocal ability....no one. She sets the bar higher than anyone else can get to....amazing post!  Thanks so much for this...God Bless you....I will be posting my own cover version of this on youtube soon...but I am no Shirley Bassey....whew!

  • @elvidinck I fully agree with you I have been a fan of Dame SB since the 70s and never stopped. She is the best and sometimes her own version of some well known hits are far better than the original. What a voice!

  • @elvidinck hear, hear

  • @elvidinck AMEN!

  • @elvidinck exactly my thoughts and believe me I listened to her for over 40 years!!!!!!
