THE DIAMOND COLLECTION is the expanded two-disc British edition of a special concert released in the US as the single-disc THE BIRTHDAY CONCERT. This concert, recorded in London in 1997 to celebrate Welsh cabaret star Shirley Bassey's 60thbirthday, is a wonderful retrospective celebration of this underrated singer's career.
Bassey's booming voice--she was occasionally known as "Brassy Bassey"--was the key to herchoice of material. At her best with sassy tunes like "Nobody Does it Like Me", "Big Spender", and "The Lady Is a Tramp", Bassey is also skilled with torch songs and ballads like "What Now My Love" and "Never Never Never". THE DIAMOND COLLECTION is a lot of fun; it also includes Bassey's signature song, "Goldfinger".
