Part 9/9 Song: This is my life.
Sleeve Note:
Once in each generation comes a singer with a voice unique in time; Shirley Bassey has such a voice. For nearly fifty years she has been thrilling old fans and collecting new ones with her combination of beauty, glamour, charm and arguably the most magnificent voice in the history of popular music.
Many legendary pop and jazz artists, including Billy Eckstine, Lena Horne, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan and, most significantly, Judy Garland, have influenced Bassey's singing style. Her career has included 28 gold records from throughout the word, and she has been voted "Best Female Singer" repeatedly in both Europe and the United States.
In addition to being a prolific recording artist, Bassey is most renowned as a world-class entertainer. She thrills her audience in this exceptional performance from Caesar's Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Bassey delivers classics including "New York New York", "Don't Cry Out Loud" and "The Greatest Love Of All" as well as her signature James Bond hit "Goldfinger." It is surely a performance not to be missed.
Lyrics This is my life:
Funny how a lonely day,
can make a person say:
What good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart,
can make me start to say:
What good is my life
Funny how I often seem,
to think I'll find another dream
(or to think I'll never find a dream)
In my life Till I look around and see,
this great big world is part of me And my life
This is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me
This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live
Sometime when I feel afraid,
I think of what a mess I've made of my life
Crying over my mistakes,
forgetting all the breaks I've had In my life
I was put on earth to be,
a part of this great world is me
And my life
Guess I'll just have to score,
and count the things I'm grateful for In my life
This Is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me
This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live
This is my life
This is my life
This is my lfe.
About the dress Dame Shirley is wearing at this concert:
Description & Notes:
A sparkling stage ensemble by Douglas Darnell comprising: a bias cut gown with fitted bodice, the orange silk chiffon ground densely embroidered overall with tangerine beads and scattered with Swarovski aurora borealis crystals, the thin shoulder straps crossing above a low-cut back with two long strands of crystals and orange beads terminating in large tassels of vari-coloured crystals and imitation pearls, the skirt with flowing train lined in gold silk tissue; and a voluminous sleeveless coat with flowing train, the orange silk chiffon ground encrusted with two-tone tangerine and pink sequins, the edges and caped collar trimmed with a deep border of tangerine ostrich feathers with flowing train, lined in gold silk tissue
Weight of gown: approx. 4.5kg.
The album Shirley Bassey Sings The Movies, 1995, features Dame Shirley wearing the gown in this lot on the cover. She also wore the gown on stage on a number of occasions throughout the 1970s, including her performances at the Royal Albert Hall, 1977-1978. This gown was also worn for Shirley's 1990 performance at Caesar's Palace in Atlantic City, which has been released on the DVD Standing Room Only.
Darnell recalls that this gown has been reworked several times. It began life as a beaded bodice, to which he then added a straight sheath skirt and later to this a flowing train.
Final Price £7,500

Hello everybody, Rocket Michael here!
So I should be sleeping because I have Introduction to Philosophy in 6 hours, so instead I made a sign video of Don't Speak by No Doubt, followed by a special treat at the end.

This is my third video about Battlestar Galactica. I tried to use more cool action scenes and from different episodes and not only 2.
I took the clips from these BSG episodes: Miniseries (The story so far), 33, Hand of God, Pegasus, Resurrection Ship part 1 and part 2.
For the music i used two themes. One from BSG Miniseries Soundtrack and one is a Hoobastank's song. Music: I'm still alive (BSG Miniseries), Same Directon (Hoobastank)
