Synopsis

Amazon.com

In a world where Celine Dion passes for a diva, Shirley Bassey's Birthday Concert--celebrating her 60th--arrives to remind us how it's really done. Sharing in-jokes with a noisily appreciative crowd while never letting anyone forget who's boss, the Welsh-born singer torches (and occasionally flame-throws) her way through a songbook including "Big Spender," "The Lady Is a Tramp," "Diamonds Are Forever" (but, alas, no "Goldfinger"), and a series of I-will-survive anthems ("I Am What I Am"). She's still big: it's the discs that got small. --Rickey Wright

CD Reviews

SENSATIONAL

Andre | JAMAICA | 01/16/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bassey does it again. A captivating and sensuous performance. She still has the magic after all these years. For years I have been saying that Bassey needs no hit records as in the end sheer talent, hard work and a carfeully organized act does the hat trick. Hear the hits from her wide repertoire (She hold the record in the female entertainer category in the UK for the most singles and albums on the charts). The Foreigner song "I want know what love is" and the Beatles hit "Hey Jude" have new meaning when done by Bassey in her "big voice" and smolthering gestures. Definitely the most exciting live performance ever! Listening to the CD placed me right in the audience."

INCREDIBLE. SHE SINGS BETTER EVERY DAY AND YEAR

MACELLARI, Anibal Carlos | MAR DEL PLATA, BUENOS AIRES Argentina | 01/09/2001

Bassey Better Than Ever!

MACELLARI, Anibal Carlos | 11/07/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This Shirley Bassey 60th birthday concert recorded in the UK in 1997, and recently performed for Southern California audiences in the US, reveals Bassey's mature voice to be a breathtaking surprise: richer, stronger, more powerful than ever before. Included on this CD are her hits of the past decades, as well as hair-raising renditions of "I am What I Am" and "I Wanna Know What Love Is." Bassey's jokes and flirtations with the audience are priceless. If you have never heard Shirley Bassey before, you will be amazed at the power and range of her voice. If you are an old Bassey fan, you will be astonished at how her voice has grown. Not to be missed."
