Free Music Notes for Birthday Concert
Free Music Review: Nominated for a Grammy
Hit: 5 Stars
Recorded live at the impressive Althorp Park in Northamptonshire U.K., it's easy to tell why this album was nominated for a Grammy. What a better way to celebrate her 60th birthday then with a live concert! Bassey is vocally superior to counterparts half her age, as she flawlessly belts out all her best on this CD. Having studied voice and music theory myself, I can appreciate the quality of Ms. Bassey's voice that progessively gets better with age. There's no shaky grandma voice here when she hit's those unbelievable high notes in "Hey Jude", "This Is My Life", and "I Wanna Know What Love Is"! Not only is every song a vocal masterpiece, but her audience interaction is fun and playful. An expanded version of this same concert is available on the Import CD titled "Diamond Collection" and on another CD titled "Contemporary Classics". These versions include the songs "GoldFinger", "Crazy", "Bye Bye Blackbird", "Try A Little Tenderness", and "Eleanor Rigby" which were actually extracted from another concert that same year and combined with the "Birthday" CD.
If you've never experienced Dame Shirley Bassey, this CD is an excellent place to start. You won't be disappointed.

Free Music Review: What a Punch
Hit: 5 Stars
This is bassey at her most "mature",when the voice has ripened,and darkened, and become bigger,on listening to this,the last sentence, takes on new meanings, her voice now is not merely big,as "awesome" and yet she still retains all the coy girlishness of yesteryear,in this all the favourites are still there and more,all in all a truly hypnotic combination!Free Music Review: SENSATIONAL
Hit: 5 Stars
Bassey does it again. A captivating and sensuous performance. She still has the magic after all these years. For years I have been saying that Bassey needs no hit records as in the end sheer talent, hard work and a carfeully organized act does the hat trick. Hear the hits from her wide repertoire (She hold the record in the female entertainer category in the UK for the most singles and albums on the charts). The Foreigner song "I want know what love is" and the Beatles hit "Hey Jude" have new meaning when done by Bassey in her "big voice" and smolthering gestures. Definitely the most exciting live performance ever! Listening to the CD placed me right in the audience.Free Music Review: Shirley at her very best.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the best live recording I have had the pleasure of listining to. The songs on this album are the best recorded versions. I was lucky to see her during the tour when she appeared at Westbury NY. Rated a+
