Product Description
Description
An excellent 20-track anthology, 1994's DIAMONDS: THE BEST OF SHIRLEY BASSEY is probably the best of the many single-disc compilations devoted to the Welsh cabaret singer. DIAMONDS covers Bassey's years with the EMI label from the mid-'50sthrough the early '80s.
Besides the expected James Bond themes such as "Diamonds Are Forever", and "Goldfinger", DIAMONDS includes nuggets like torchy versions of George Harrison's "Something", "I (Who Have Nothing)" and "What Kind of Fool Am I". Brassy, booming versions of great tunes like "BigSpender" and "As Long As He Needs Me", and larger than liferenditions of "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and "Reach for the Stars", are also heavily featured. Fun, flashy, and immensely entertaining, DIAMONDS is a cabaret-style gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Hits... Her Diamonds!, 30 May 2001
By A Customer
This compilation includes Shirley's greatest hits. Including "What Now My Love", her two showstopping Bond hits "Goldfinger" & "Diamonds are forever". Even going back to the early days, "As Long as he needs me" & Climb every mountain" & "With these hands". It's overall a nice retrospective and a great collection for someone who is just being introduced to Shirley Bassey. The Album ends with "This is My Life" The song that Shirley sings and brings the house down in her concerts...
