This is a great dvd for all lovers of Shirley Bassey, it is a collection of performances from Shirley that have been screened on ITV shows these include classic Royal Variety Performances and the sunday night series "Live From", yes a lot of the performances are the same songs but its great to see ITV dusting off the archives and bringing these performances to life once more. you arent short changed either theres 145 minutes of wonderful performances here to enjoy and the quality of the material is amazing considering that some of shows are nearly 40 years old. This is a definate must purchase for all lovers of Shirleys classic and breathtaking performances.

Having waited anxiously for some of Miss Bassey's early TV material to be released, I am far from dissapointed. Big Orchestra's. great orchestrations and arrangments,fantastic gowns and a golden voice. Sheer star material at is best This is when we were entertained and Shirley was in the forefront when it came to belting out great classics or modern pop. She can deliver like no other artist can. Having seen her on many occasion at the Royal Albert Hall delivering 90 minutes or more just shows the caliber of star we have and there is sadly no one around these days to touch her. No backing tracks, no miming no assistance from high tech mixing desks, just sheer vocal and profound genius. Long live Shirley !! Stick that in your pipe Simon Cowell and smoke it !!!

Its great to see Shirley belting out lots of her great songs. She looks ageless. The only problem is that the disc is too short. Read more
