Description: 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

Reviews:

INCREDIBLE. SHE SINGS BETTER EVERY DAY AND YEAR

WHAT A CELEBRATION. THE GREATEST ENTERTAINMENT IN THE WORLD OF ALL THE TIMES SHOWS THAY SHE IS UNIQUE. SINGS LIKE A BIRD AND MOVES LIKE ONLY SHE CAN.

ITS ONE OF HER MAGNIFICENTS RECORDS. BUY IT KNOW, SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A TEENAGER AND WANNA KNOW A DIVA, YES A REALLY DIVA.

Nominated for a Grammy

Recorded live at the impressive Althorp Park in Northamptonshire U.K., it's easy to tell why this album was nominated for a Grammy. What a better way to celebrate her 60th birthday then with a live concert! Bassey is vocally superior to counterparts half her age, as she flawlessly belts out all her best on this CD. Having studied voice and music theory myself, I can appreciate the quality of Ms. Bassey's voice that progessively gets better with age. There's no shaky grandma voice here when she hit's those unbelievable high notes in "Hey Jude", "This Is My Life", and "I Wanna Know What Love Is"! Not only is every song a vocal masterpiece, but her audience interaction is fun and playful.

An expanded version of this same concert is available on the Import CD titled "Diamond Collection" and on another CD titled "Contemporary Classics". These versions include the songs "GoldFinger", "Crazy", "Bye Bye Blackbird", "Try A Little Tenderness", and "Eleanor Rigby" which were actually extracted from another concert that same year and combined with the "Birthday" CD.

If you've never experienced Dame Shirley Bassey, this CD is an excellent place to start. You won't be disappointed.

What a Punch

This is bassey at her most "mature",when the voice has ripened,and darkened, and become bigger,on listening to this,the last sentence, takes on new meanings, her voice now is not merely big,as "awesome" and yet she still retains all the coy girlishness of yesteryear,in this all the favourites are still there and more,all in all a truly hypnotic combination!
