Saw Barbara - sorry Barbra, - forgot she dropped one of the "a's" - !! on Thursday at Maddison Sq. Gardens. Allegedly her farewell concert - again !!
All I can say is:-
"I don't know why she needs all that furniture" !!!!! -
actually - she didn't have any, apart from a chair and small table to hold her legendary cup of tea and rose !! - But she did have a spectacular 60 piece orchestra, in a wonderful set - similar to Celebrity Squares with a transparent colourful net divide
by a magnificent 80 step stairway.
The first half she wore a very plain trouser suit - the top sleeveless. Not very glam. Trust my mother and sister to comment on the arms - a wee cellulite....not as fit as Shirley, mother say's, bless her....but she was right....I think Barbs should have
overed up.....She is not one for really working the stage - she tends to take it all in her stride. She chatted alot, spent 20 mins "boringly" thanking her celeb pals for coming along - I would not have minded if they were big names, mainly USA TV presen
ers,(the equiv. to our Richard and Judy, I suspect and Esther etc)... the most famous TV celeb was Rossie O'Donnel, who incidentally also once went to see Shirley in New York. The bigger names were Brooke Shields (also once went to see Shirley), Rev. Jess
Jackson, Lauren McCall and Glen Close. Tony Bennett went to see her the night before.
She sung her usual songs and songs also covered by Shirley - Send In The Clowns, Don't Rain On My Parade, I Only Have Eyes For You and of course Memory. - of course I prefer Shirley's interpretation. A flash back - looking back at her career was screened
- but nothing that I did not already know, apart from some great footage of Judy Garland and Barbara singing together and Ol Blue Eyes. The only two significant achievement (in my opinion) she has over our Shirley, singing with two of the world's greatest
entertainers of their time. I know Shirley regrets that - but Shirley makes up for many more achievement's, that Barbs can never match.
For a moment we thought Shirley was in the audience, as there were 3 look like's in the audience, Diana Ross, Barbara Streisand and Shirley, although it sure looked like her, although it probably was a Pati LaBelle or Glady's Knight look a like. But they
urned out to be New York drag queens - they did look good - Ru Paul was nowhere to be seen !!!
I needed to see what all the fuss was about - and to be honest, I left thinking "that was nice" - she certainly did not, at any time, have me sitting on the edge of my seat, although she is truly adored by her American fans - they really do go mad for her
Conclusion, Yes, it was nice, great atmosphere, I am not sure whether it would have been just as enjoyable if it were not for her backing singers, a great solo dancer who opened the show, the orchestra, the stage set, the film footage, etc ..in fact, I kn
w she could not hold a candle to Shirley, because Shirley does not need any of that to score 10/10, - nevertheless, Barbs scores 8/10 with the help of her set etc, - would I go and see her again ? ONLY if she performed with Shirley !!! - I just think she
s so overrated.....Surprisingly, Ray Charles says "She is the finest living white female singer of today"...
Took some great pics....and saw some great musicals.

My sister brought the first Shirley Bassey record into our house....I (Who Have Nothing) and I was spell-bound by the voice of passion, power and pride. I began searching for more, almost immediately (I was 11 years old). I have been to every Shirley co
cert in Adelaide, many in Sydney and Melbourne and hope to one day see her again soon - ANYWHERE! (I can't help thinking she HAS to stop one day)!
Shirley is part of my life now - she inspires me and seduces me in so many ways - and she doesn't even know me! The power that one person can have toward another and yet not even be aware. I am grateful for her and the many times her voice and her passio
have given me the strength to do "my thing" in life. I hope that someone has done or is doing it for her.
Thank you Shirley - "Love" is a verb - Thank you for being you!

Indeed Andy, it makes it all so very special when one's work is preserved and thank goodness we have such a brilliant site to do just that. I remember reading your article and thinking brill at the time. I did a quick review of the papers the day after
ame Shirley's investiture and like you said often today's papers are tomorrow's garbage and as you know timing is so important to getting in their first and the dissappointment if a bigger story breaks or someone else sumbits a different article by way of
a different angle can be heart breaking. It makes it all that more special when ones' work is published hence my dissappointment with the following:-
For the benefit of all the overseas fans, here is a brief review of the UK papers - 20.7.00.
Before I do so, I will explain a few points about our so called press, which may bare similarities with your media, so apologies if I am explaining the obvious. Firstly, if ever a bigger story breaks on the day/any day, in question you can bet your bottom
dollar that the story which we all aspire to have on our front pages (in this case Dame Shirley) - will inevitably be thrown back a page or two and in one case 33 pages ! Sadly the London Bombing, Bomb Scares, one or two other national stories took prece
ence together with the Queen Mother's pageant (as predicted by some fans) stole the headlines from Dame Shirley appearing on the front pages.
Secondly it has to be said THANKS to the comical former Carry On Star Barbara Windsor, a true luvvey with the British Media certainly secured Dame Shirley making the papers at all (a fact) and what a scoop for the photographer who captured the controversi
l CURTSEY shot !!. (see message board). As this was the ONLY picture that appeared in all of the papers despite some truly amazing shots of Dame Shirley on her own arriving and leaving - they simply were not used; and If people thought my joking "And Rig
tly So" was offensive, "YOU AINT READ NOTHING YET " !!
It is a real shame when you look back at the other two great Dames recently invested - front page on nearly all the papers back in May (Dame Liz and Dame Julie).
However, the only paper which did our Dame proud was The Daily Mirror with a whole page dedicated to Shirley and Barbara (curtsey shot) - page 3.
The others were as follows and once again all using the one pic:
The Daily Mirror (A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM) whole page 3 COLOUR
The Daily Star - splashed across pages 4 and 5 (b & w)
The Daily Telegraph a small colour pic page 7
The Times reported the story next to their casual Court circular column/church news with a b & w pic on page 20
The Sun Page 22 (half page)
The Daily Express page 23 half a page (colour)
The Daily Mail - surprisingly way back on page 33 although a full page colour.
The Guardian NOTHING - didn't even bother to report the investiture
The Independent NOTHING
The Financial Times - NOTHING
So there you have it - thanks to Babs !!
Cheers - Rocky

Just writing to say I'm tickled pink to see that ancient article of mine (for The Observer) preserved on this site ! I tend to assume that today's newspaper articles are tomorrow's garbage, so it's great to see something I wrote given a new lease of lif
! You might be interested to know that Miss Bassey herself did see the article, apparently, and enjoyed it (wonderful !!) but was a little concerned that it seemed to suggest she had ONLY gay fans...

Did anyone see Patti La Belle on the Oprah Winfrey show transmitted in the UK on 22.6.00? - (I suspect our American friends would have seen it months before)
Reason being she sang what I think was her latest song most beautiful and DRAMATIC " YOU SAVED MY LIFE " - sadly Patti did not have the range (similar to when Lulu wrote "I don't wanna fight no more" - which eventually was a big hit for Tina Turner).
How I can just see Dame Shirley belting out YOU SAVED MY LIFE - you have to hear the words and listen to the music to realise how it complements "This Is My Life" - ....that would be something if Shirley sang it - You Saved My Life was truly written for t
e Dame !

In my opinion, there is no one else, alive today,
that can compare to the Fantastic Dame Shirley Bassey!-She's got it ALL! There is Nobody that can
stand-up next to her! If I sound bias-I am!-She
"moves" me!..."Nobody Does It Like Her"! She is
a thoroughly "polished and seasoned artist", who
just happens to be beautiful,classy,and has a an
"exquisite voice"!! She without a doubt, is truly,
"Unique and Stands Alone!"...She's the One!!!

a BIG compliment for your pages, they certainly look great. They serve Shirley Bassey more right than a lot of her own album-sleeves. And that gets me to the point thats been irritating me for al very long time: although I think that voice, person, drive
nd great talent of Shirley Bassey (not to forget her wonderful way of performing) are unique and really an once in a lifetime experience. a lot of the muscians, art directors and manangement and others around and behind this very, very talented lady are n
t up the her standards and level. But still she stands out. brilliantly.

since first hearing shirley in the late 60's,i was well and truly hooked! her style of singing -- so "personally" to the listener -- has been one of the reasons she has remained so popular;and also the fact that she sounds equally good in concerts or on r
cord.many artists need "studio magic" to sound OK -- shirley's voice is always powerful -- and note perfect! thanks for your time! bill.

I first saw Shirley Bassey in about 1959 when she was second on the bill with Edmund Hockridge in Birmingham. She came on just before the interval and wowed everyone, so much so that we wanted to see more of her - forget Edmund.
Over the years I have most of her LPs, then cassettes, and now CDs. I have seen her on stage 12 times, and think she is absolutely fabulous.

Comments:
My earliest memory is hearing 'Big Spender' on the radio when I was very young, maybe three or four years of age, I loved that song, and Shirley Bassey. My parents would let me stay up and watch her if she was on t.v. I saw her singing 'It must be Him' on
t.v. around 1970/71, she was swept up in the drama of the song, the tears rolling down her face, I believed her in that moment, that she truly felt the song she was singing, it was her story! I thought it must be my story, I was only 6 or 7 at the time an
very impressionable. I first saw her in concert when I was 16 in 1980, and twice since then. Always an amazing experience, but I wish I had seen her as an adult fan through the sixties and early seventies, when for me she had Goddess Status, now I'm afra
d I have to share her with other Songstresses and Divas !
Great website, and I knew she had recorded albums in 1968 and 1969, and between 1972-75, but could never find them either second hand or listed, thanks for the info.
Wasn't 1976 the year she had her own t.v. series on BBC1, saturday nights, a great show !!!
I think her rendition of 'Moonraker' a beautiful ballad is always sadly neglected, she never did 007 a diservice in heralding his arrival in our imaginations. And for pure BASSEY POWER listen to 'The Liquidator' from the 65' film bearing that title.
Whatever kind of day its been, especially a Bang Bang day, put Shirley on the HiFi and let her cajole you into her world, and you'll come out smiling !

why not? this idea is thrilling me.

Liebe Fans,
ich spreche + schreibe nur schlecht in der Sprache der weltbesten Entertainerin, sorry. Dennoch moechte ich von einer Erfahrung berichten, die ich mit juengeren Menschen im Alter zwischen 20 und 30 Jahren gemacht habe (Ich selbst bin seit 45 Jahren putzmu
ter auf dieser Welt):
als Ausbilder und Fachreferent habe ich mit dieser Altersklasse viel zu tun und bin somit auch staendig in beruehrung mit ihrem Lebensstil und Freizeitverhalten. Sehr bedauerlich finde ich, wie vielen sehr jungen Menschen der Zugang zur Musik vorenthalten
wurde, und zwar meist durch fehlende Begleitung ihrer Eltern, die meist nur unwesentlich aelter sind als ich.
Shirley Bassey ist bei der dancefloor-generation durch Propellerheads bekannt und populaer geworden. Keiner von ihnen wusste bzw. glaubte, wie viele putzmuntere Lebensjahre diese Künstlerin leider schon hinter sich hat und wodurch sie sich all die lange Z
it unvergesslich gemacht hat.
Da ich besonders ihre Songs wie meinen o.g. Lieblingstitel liebe, wollte ich meinen jungen Zuhoerern zumindest einmal diesen und einige andere Titel vorstellen, fuer die sie die Auszeichnung "Beste Tragoedin der Pop-Geschichte" verdient.
Das Ergebnis war verblueffend: so viel Bereitschaft zum Zuhoeren, so viel Ergriffenheit und so viel spontane Bewunderung fuer das Stimmwunder Bassey habe ich bei diesen netten Menschen zuvor noch nie erlebt.
Bisher glaubte ich, Shirley Bassey ist der Megastar zwar einer grossen, aber nicht mehr wachsenden Fangemeinde. Diese Einschaetzung war zum Glück falsch: sie kann viel mehr Menschen erreichen und elektrisieren, als sie vielleicht selber vermutet.
Dies war fuer mich ein wirkliches Erlebnis und die Schilderung gehoert selbstverstaendlich auf eine Fansite! Wohin denn sonst?
Ich wuensche mir noch viele, viele neue Songs von ihr und hoffentlich tourt sie bald mal wieder in Deutschland.

Congratulations! A well organized, informative and well presented site for the One and Only Shirley Bassey. Some vital information is missing
like the big hits such "I who have nothing"(No 6), "What Now My Love"(NO 5) and "For All we know (No 6) all of which charted in the British top ten". Bassey holds the record for the MOST singles and Albums on the British Charts by a female singer. Her sin
les have charted well over 320 weeks. Twenty seven (27) of her albums have made the British Charts. She was the first female entertainer to receive a gold record from the Australian continent and has over 14 gold records from Australia to her Credit as we
l as gold records from Japan, South Africa,South America and Hollans andd France. Whlie Goldfinger was her biggest commercial success in America her most successful album was the album "Shirley Bassey is really Something Else". Unlike America, the rest of
the world is familiar with the wide repetiore of hit songs attributed to the Bassey! The accolade too have been numerous with the crowning one being the Britannia award in 1976
having been voted the Best Solo Artist in the Last 50 Years. She held the record of being the biggest box office success at carnegie hall.

I'm 37 and grew up with Shirley Bassey's music. My mum was obsessed and I always loved it. During the seventies she was huge in Australia. I was just watching the "Ain't Heard Nothing Yet" concert on Fox and wanted to know her age and found this site. Fan
astic tribute to an amazing performer.

I am writing this in the hope that Shirley reads her messages on a regular basis, if not then hey never mind, it is a chance. Anyway basically i have front row seats to your'e concert on the 11th June at the Festival Hall, i was wondering whether or not
here was a possibility of you singing the song, "Born To Lose " I really like this track and the words, especially the way it is performed by yourself also, i realise that the material you will be performing will already be planned, was just an enquiry an
request at the same time ??? Also excellent version of Ave Maria. Your's Hopefully Gary x x x x x

I suppose I was in my mothers womb when I first heard Shirley Bassey. I have grown up with her and through all my weird and wonderful experiences- good and bad, she has been there. And hopefully will be there for many many many more. Miss Bassey you are d
finately the greatest DIVA of them all- HE broke the mould after HE created you.

Shirley Bassey is the only woman in the world who can honestly be refered to as a "DIVA". BASSEY stands alone in this catagory. She makes every other female artist, on the planet, look like a dirty dishrag. No one does it like SHIRLEY!

In my opinion Shirley Bassey is among one of the classiest and most tallented singers of our time. She arguably has the most impressive repertoir of songs and an astounding discography. In other words Shirley Bassey is a true world class and statuesque pe
former.

I have grown up with the music of Shirley Bassey, my childhood is full of memories of my mother playing her music, no other artists music do i have anyh memory of her playing. I wrote to Shirley Bassey a few years ago to ask for her help in locating an o
d recording she did, as a gift for my mother. Her assistant Andrew kindly sent me a copy of the recording along with some signed photos of Shirley Bassey. Since my mothers death early last year, Miss Basseys music is a source if you like of fantastic m
mories, remembering the ones she would play and play, she really was my mothers icon !! Since moving to London and earning my own living, i have travelled back and fourth to Monte Carlo on a regular basis, frequently staying in the Hotel Hermitage where i
know she sometimes dines, hoping to catch a glimpse for myself, to no avail unfortiunatley, however i do have front row seats for her upcoming tour at the Royal Festival Hall in June 2000, to which i am already looking forward to. My mothers favourite so
g was " I WHO HAVE NOTHING " and i am looking forward to hearing her sing this hopefully then. Thankyou Miss Bassey and may you continue long into the future to sing us you're music in you're own unique and inspiring way. Also congratulations on you're
elevised interview with Nigel Havers in the OK programme, it was a pleasure to watch, it just goes to show that as one of the worlds leading icons this millenium, that you are not full of the pompous attitudes, so many stars with less acolades than yours
lf seem to adopt !!!
Thankyou Gary.
