Music reviews of Something
Music Review: SHIRLEY BASSEY TOUR-DE-FORCE MASTERPIECE!!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Defining works from great singers are complete treasures that a true vocal artist connoisseur will enjoy endlessly for a lifetime and Shirley Bassey's "Something" is at the head of the list of these rare classics. Back around the mid-sixties while in High School, "Goldfinger" became a huge international blockbuster hit and I fell in love with the incredible voice of Shirley Bassey. Shirley then came out with the great album "Shirley Belt's The Best" and this was a wonderful collection of classics and showtunes that made it clear this was a seriously great voice that was going to be around for a long time. Classics continued such as "This Is My Life" and other gems but in 1970 when "Shirley Bassey Is Really Something" was released, it was certain that Shirley had really arrived and created a major milestone in her already brilliant recording career!! Opening with the definitive version of George Harrison's "Something", Shirley has no competition and creates a stunning classic that became a major chart hit internationally and a knock-out stunner in her incredible live concert that were always total love-in's all throughout the seventies! (I experienced this legendary concert as late as 1997 and Miss Bassey is just as powerful and stunning as ever with no change in that magnificant voice!) Over the years whenever I introduce anyone to Bassey I use this work as an introduction and this hooks them every time and creates another hard-core fan for life! Group classics such as "Spinning Wheel", "Light My Fire", and "Easy To Be Hard" are totally amazing covers that rival in greatness the originals. For a glorious and totally hypnotic experience "Yesterday I Heard The Rain" is a hard one to beat and "My Way" is a real athem that soars to dazzling heights! Haunting and passionate is the spectacular "Sea And Sand" and "What About Today" is equal to Streisand's brilliant original version...Shirley's magnificant "You And I" is a richly romantic beautiful version and "Life Goes On" is brilliantly haunting. Michel LeGrand's "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life" is the definitive version of this great classic and "Yesterday When I Was Young" is moving and well sung but nobody comes close to the extraordinary version by underground singing legend Ann Dee who does a naked and chilling version of this classic and makes it into a complete masterpiece! Bonus track "Fool On The Hill" is fine but the definitive version that is impossible to top is Petula Clark's stunning version...in concert Bassey does a wonderful Beatles Medley that is mind-blowing and always draws a wild standing ovation from her adoring crowds!!! This lady is a true singing legend and do not miss this engrossing classic set!! Enjoy as great singing doesn't get any better than this...BRAVO SHIRLEY
