SHIRLEY BASSEY TOUR-DE-FORCE MASTERPIECE!!!

Defining works from great singers are complete treasures that a true vocal artist connoisseur will enjoy endlessly for a lifetime and Shirley Bassey's "Something" is at the head of the list of these rare classics. Back around the mid-sixties while in High School, "Goldfinger" became a huge international blockbuster hit and I fell in love with the incredible voice of Shirley Bassey. Shirley then came out with the great album "Shirley Belt's The Best" and this was a wonderful collection of classics and showtunes that made it clear this was a seriously great voice that was going to be around for a long time. Classics continued such as "This Is My Life" and other gems but in 1970 when "Shirley Bassey Is Really Something" was released, it was certain that Shirley had really arrived and created a major milestone in her already brilliant recording career!! Opening with the definitive version of George Harrison's "Something", Shirley has no competition and creates a stunning classic that became a major chart hit internationally and a knock-out stunner in her incredible live concert that were always total love-in's all throughout the seventies! (I experienced this legendary concert as late as 1997 and Miss Bassey is just as powerful and stunning as ever with no change in that magnificant voice!) Over the years whenever I introduce anyone to Bassey I use this work as an introduction and this hooks them every time and creates another hard-core fan for life! Group classics such as "Spinning Wheel", "Light My Fire", and "Easy To Be Hard" are totally amazing covers that rival in greatness the originals. For a glorious and totally hypnotic experience "Yesterday I Heard The Rain" is a hard one to beat and "My Way" is a real athem that soars to dazzling heights! Haunting and passionate is the spectacular "Sea And Sand" and "What About Today" is equal to Streisand's brilliant original version. Shirley's magnificant "You And I" tops Petula Clark's beautiful version and "Life Goes On" is a life changing experience that is totally haunting. Michel LeGrand's "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life" is the definitive version fo this great classic and "Yesterday When I Was Young" is great but the only song on this set that is outdone and that is by underground legend Ann Dee who does a naked and chilling version of this classic and makes it into a complete masterpiece! Bonus track "Fool On The Hill" is fine but the definitive female vocal that is impossible to top still is Petula Clark's stunning version! In concert Bassey does a Beatles Medley that is mind-blowing and always draws a wild standing ovation from her adoring crowds!!! This lady is a legend and do not miss this legendary classic set!! Enjoy as it doesn't get better than this...

SOMETHING!

...This predecessor to Shirley's Something Else has the definitive versions for very soft rock (Light My Fire, Spinning Wheel, & Easy To Be Hard) & middle of the road (Yesterday I Heard the Rain, & My Way). Our Shirl really knew our to steal a song & do it much better. With Light... Jim Morrisson had to m.... on stage (Ugh!) to convey the s-e-x-ual connotations, Shirley justs purrs & bellts alternatingly with a very aggressive orchestral arrangement by Johnny Harris. Mr Harris was either her Don Costa, Eydie Gorme's best arranger; or her Nelson Riddle, Sinatra's & Ella's best. Johnny really knew how to showcase Shirley's considerable voice without the overpowering background orchestra. Shirley out Peggys Lee & out Ethels Merman when come to taking on their most famous respective vocal trait. Only Eydie rivals her in versstility but Ms. Gorme can't put across SEX like Ms. Bassey. Why don't Madonna, Mariah, & Whitney line up to take lessons from the master. They make the moola; now develop the talent! Back to the songs! Movie songs, You & I, & Life Goes On, are given such artitic life that one forgets the birth places. The former came from a forgettable musical, Goodbye Mr. Chips, & the latter's lyric's were not in one of the all time great films: Z. She completely make both songs her own. Yesterday When I Was Young is such a revealation. Again taking a song, this time from poor Roy Clark who blandly went through a magnifiient song. While I prefer Eydie's drmatization of it, singer & orchestra complement themselves quite admirably with Bassey's version. While Shirley did very well preHarris, she joined the big leagues with him. Fianlly, the title cut; SOMETHING is right! This completely oginaial version with oragan accompaniment makes one wonder if that British group would have had the nerve to do it if Shirley's version came out first. Buy this & Something Else for your artistic nourishment.
