Shuun comment:-

What I like about this lady is her voice and body gesture when singing. It totally different from other singer I listen. Very classic, power house, range, skill and awesome technique. It hard to explain with word actually, since shes the only female singer I know to had Light Dramatic Contralto type of voice. There still too many singer in this word that i don't recognize. >_>

Shirley Bassey

Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey, DBE (born January 8, 1937), is a Welsh singer, perhaps best-known for performing the theme songs to the James Bond films Goldfinger (1964), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), and Moonraker (1979). She is the only singer to have recorded more than one James Bond theme song.

At age 15, young Shirley began working in a local factory. Having displayed an extraordinary talent for singing from a very early age, it was not long before Shirley began her professional career singing in working men's clubs. Throughout her youth, Shirley had been influenced by several American pop and jazz singers including Billy Eckstine, Lena Horne, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan and, most significantly, Judy Garland. By Bassey's own admission, Garland had a profound influence on her professional craft. Garland is also the performer to whom Bassey has been most closely compared throughout her career. Though unable to read music, Bassey dazzled her earliest audiences with pitch-perfect renditions of Horne's "Stormy Weather" and Garland's "Over the Rainbow".
