4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction, June 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Shirley Bassey is fabulous, but while this CD offers a sufficient introduction to her work it doesn't provide the best examples. Never, Never, Never and Big Spender are, as always, gorgeous. If you're not already a fan, check her out with the Propellerheads on History Repeating (that's the song from the Jaguar commercial)

Glamour, Glitz the Drama; everything is included in this little collection. The Album kicks off with:
«Goldfinger» the song Shirley recorded for the James Bond film, it gave her a million-selling record back in 1964.
«Never, Never, Never» or «Grande Grande Grande» was a Smash Hit for Shirley in 1973.
«Something» was the title track of Shirley's 1970 album, another hit around the world.
"Let There Be Love» another touchy track, given the Bassey treat.
«Diamonds Are Forever» Shirley's 2nd James Bond recording that reached the Top 40 in 1972.
«Big Spender» a naughty Show-Stoppper from the movie `Sweet Charity' starring Shirley MacLaine.
«No Regrets» is the English version of Piaf's «Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien».
«As Long As He Needs Me» from the hit musical Oliver! This song reached number 2 in the early 60's & spent a total of 30 weeks in the Top 50.
«My Special Dream» Shirley's rendition of the popular song is dynamic and unforgettable.
«The Look Of Love» a nice way to close the album, a moving classic & favourite Shirley's stage act over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only A Small Taste at a Great Price, August 27, 2008

(VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Dame Shirley Bassey deserves all the accolades including Damehood. Her voice is rich and deep. She can teach the young aspiring singers to be more like her. She is a vocalist and an artist with a mastery of her voice. She can be deep at times and be light and airy but her voice is unforgettable. You cannot ignore it. She reminds me of Barbra Streisand's voice in vocal range and talent. Only Shirley Bassey continues to perform and maintain a voice well into retirement age. She looks fabulous now than ever and her voice has gotten better over the years. The price is right for this compact disc. If you wondered what she is all about, this disc will give you a taste of it and then you can go back and buy more of Shirley. I bet you will after hearing her spectacular voice.
