Shirley Bassey

唐突だが､Shirley Basseyはやはり凄い。I Could Have Danced All Nightの映像を2つ並べたので､聞き比べてもらえば分かる。お嬢様っぽいAudrey Hepburn版(彼女が歌っているわけではないが)に対して､Shirleyは迫力が違う。

1979: Shirley at her very Best! But, when isn't she! I added her 1979 Rendition of "Climb Every Mountain" to this clip as I was able to get the video and audio to track properly.

ホントはもっと良い映像があったんだが､既にYouTubeにもGoogle Videoからもなくなってたわ(ﾉ´д｀)
次はALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE。

A video clip I produced for a song off my new CD.

Shirleyの方はThis Can't Be Loveを間に挟んだアレンジ。

1987: Not in this case, (No 2 on list) but depending on the audience (Country), Shirley would pick this lively song as her opening number in the 80's.

Darren PowellのPlayboyっぽい気障な歌い方もいいけどネw
で、Shirley Basseyと言えばBIG SPENDER ! これは英国フィリップ王子の誕生会で歌ったもので、歌う前に｢It is a little bit risky.｣と言って会場を沸かせている。

2001: There are many videos of Shirley performing "Hey Big Spender" but I think this one is unique, and many people outside of the UK probably have not seen it. Prince Philip's 80th Birthday Celebration. The woman is ageless, and is dressed to the nine's for this special occasion!

しっかし、還暦を越えてこの大胆さはどうだw
ホントはLittle VoiceのJane Horrocks版を載せたかったんだけど､見つけられなかったワ。
