Today we go back to 2005 with two articles from My Weekly and The Sun. It was a very busy year for Dame Shirley Bassey and she also appeared at the Royal Variety Performance that year. The featured image you see above is her rehearsing for The RVP in Cardiff. The article from The Sun is about her ‘duet’ with Kanye West: Diamonds Are Forever.
For this blog we have the audio of the 2009 BBC Electric Proms at the Roundhouse as broadcast on BBC Wales. It is the full concert, with a 20-minute introduction by BBC Wales and an interview with Dame Shirley. Unfortunately the concert that was broadcast on TV a day later had songs edited out. I hope you can all enjoy this concert again in its full glory with special thanks to Neil for making this possible!
Today a repost from a blogpost from 8 years ago. The audio was on Soundcloud but seems to be removed. Thanks to Neil who saved it we can now listen to this wonderful performance again on this blog.
We are delighted to present this wonderful archive recording, 30 minutes of Bassey Bliss, “My Name Is Shirley Bassey”
Songs: What About Today, Yesterday I Heard The Rain, Light My Fire, I Must Know, What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life, I Who Have Nothing, I’ll Never Fall In Love Again, The Lady Is A Tramp, The Fool On The Hill.
Today the last one of the Japanese singles. From 1977 You Take My Heart Away on the B-side and I Need To be In Love on the B-side. (Written by Richard Carpenter). I hope you all enjoyed this series.
