Free Music Review: two CDs of POW !!! from Dame Shirley Bassey
Hit: 5 Stars
This two CD set entitled Finest Collection by Dame Shirley Bassey showcases her talents as an exceptionally gifted singer who can belt out a tune or coo those lyrics to perfection however she wants! Shirley's talent makes you listen when she sings--and you listen closely, too; she is all THAT good to hear. There's not a dud in the lot of song we get here, either. The quality of the sound on these two CDs is excellent and I really like that artwork, too.
The album starts with Shirley singing her heart out on "Fly Me To The Moon." Her voice is as clear as a bell; and her incredible sense of timing enhances this number even more. "Something" is a cover of this classic love song by the late George Harrison of Beatles fame; Shirley does great justice to this ballad--and how's about that brass? "I've Got You Under My Skin" makes good use of the strings as Shirley does this one up right; and listen for "Somewhere" from West Side Story. "Somewhere" shows that Shirley infuses her ballads with a so much genuine emotion; she wears her heart on her sleeve for this number. In addition, "Moon River" features Shirley belting this out as only the best of them ever could!
"Goldfinger" was a huge hit for Shirley. This tune from the James Bond movie of the same number still sounds great today; and Shirley delivers this faultlessly. Terrific! "Let There Be Love" has Shirley squarely front and center--right where she belongs! I love it. "For All We Know" is a charming cover of a song by Richard and Karen Carpenter; Shirley never lets go of a superfluous note and that's amazing. In addition, "Cry Me A River" again has Shirley belting this tune out like the fine chanteuse she still is; the horns sound great on "Cry My A River" but the music never steals the show from Shirley--they never drown her out and that's wonderful.
"Don't Cry For Me Argentina" comes, if I remember correctly, from the show called Evita; Shirley sings this with panache and I'm very impressed. "You Made Me Love You" is a number I associate with the immortal Judy Garland; I would like to think Judy would have loved this version! "As Time Goes By" is a huge highlight of this two CD set; and "Alone Again (Naturally)" has Shirley massaging the lyrics to this ballad with all her heart and soul. She pulls this off without a hitch and that's awesome.
"Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" gets a disco beat that makes it very strong; and "Tonight" is another terrific number from West Side Story. Shirley makes this shine brighter than silver and gold combined; and there's yet another gem in "The Shadow Of Your Smile." "The Shadow Of Your Smile" has Shirley infusing it with a great deal of passion. "What Now My Love" showcases Shirley's ability to make a classic love song sound better than ever before; and Shirley does an English language version of Edith Piaf's "No Regrets." "No Regrets" makes a fine ending for this two CD set.
Shirley Bassey delivers a great deal of POW on these two CDs; and they are definitely a "must-have" for Shirley Bassey fans. Truthfully, although I didn't mention every song on these two CDs, there's not a single letdown in the entire lot of songs. People who enjoy classic pop vocals will also enjoy this two CD set.
