1979 (Shirley Bassey delivers a powerful female point of view to the classic, 'When A Man Loves A Woman'. From the Shirley Bassey TV Variety Show
This song was recorded and released on Shirley's 1972 LP titlte, 'I Capricorn'
ABOUT the LP, "I Capricorn":
Following on from the success of her previous two albums, I Capricorn saw Bassey still in the midst of her revival in the 1970s. Some months earlier she had released the single "For All We Know", which had become one of the biggest hits of her career, peaking at No.6 in the UK and remaining on the charts for half a year. This album was released just as the single was leaving the chart and just as her second James Bond theme, "Diamonds are Forever", was entering the chart. Surprisingly, the Bond theme song was not featured on this collection. The album itself made No.13 and remained on the UK album chart for 11 weeks, it also reached No.94 on the Billboard 200 in the US.
The album also contains the popular songs "Losing My Mind", "The Look of Love" and John Lennon's "Love". The title track was appropriate in that Bassey was indeed a Capricorn (born January 8). I Capricorn remains one of the most highly regarded albums by her fans.
Early issues of this album had a metallic gold finish and the artwork was pasted on. I Capricorn was re-issued on CD in 2000 by EMI with alternative artwork.
LYRICS:
When a woman falls in love with a man
She gives him all the loving she can
And this will always be
The way a woman loves
Something makes her shine
From somewhere inside
Until her face has nothing to hide
It's there for all to see
The way a woman loves
A man would love discreetly
A woman gives herself away completely.......
Everything she feels
Is there in her eyes
They speak of love
Yet only the wisest man can say he knows
The way a woman loves
A man would love discreetly
A woman gives herself away completely.......
Everything she feels
Is there in her eyes
They speak of love
Yet only the wisest man can say he knows
The way a woman loves........
I think Shirley sings beautiful whatever she sings, and I this was not just beautiful, it was excellent!
