Dame Shirley Bassey - 73 Years Young

Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey, DBE (Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire) is the only artist to have sung the title song for 3 Bond movies. The 1st of those 3, Goldfinger, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008.

& this is only a small part of her long & highly successful career. She has sold an estimated 135 million records. She has 35 hits in the UK Singles Chart & 37 hit LPs in the UK Albums Chart, making her Britain's most successful female artist of all time, as well as the artist with the longest span (50 years) of Top 40 hits.

So here is that golden voiced, diamond singing 3 of the best Bond themes out there:

Goldfinger

Diamonds Are Forever

Moonraker

& for those who wonder why Moonraker wasn't a live version like the other 2, well, I'll let Shirley explain:

As a bonus, here is her appearance on The Muppets:

& she can make other songs her own just as well.

My evidence:





Dame Shirley, Mille Grazie for all the joy you have brought us.

FELICE COMPLEANNO!!!!!
