Here is where Shirley rises above the other female singers and what has made her career span decades. When her strap on her gown fell off on to her arm at a critical part of the song, she left it there, because if she made a big to do to bring it back on top, it would have ruined what she was building up to and she waited almost till the spotlight was out before bringing it back up. Genius!!

Billboard magazine asked Dame Shirley if she had a favorite track on The Performance. She replied: "I love all of them. But the Pet Shop Boys' song got right into my head and made me sob, and not many songs do that. You can get too carried away with a song, especially onstage, but you can't be crying during every one. When I heard that, after doing all the other songs, it was just too much for me. I don't need to write a book. The record is my autobiography."

Every time a star passes away, even someone as famous as Michael Jackson, only then does the public truly get a chance to see the wonderful history and intimate look at that person's life and career from beginning to end. I always feel a bit of remorse when this happens, wishing I'd paid more attention and enjoyed the star while they were here. Shirley Bassey is what I call the epitome of a living legend. Lucky we are to have her voice, and it will be a sad day when she sings her last song.

My interest became a passion all my life I am sad to say today that I don't have all her LP's that were and still a treasure, I had almost everyone released.....today I have lots of CD's and DVD's....but through these last few years I have not played her music so much..I only have TV but can still watch video''s.....More recently I bought a new TV and I can watch KZread....So it's been a revival of Shirely Bassey ...the ones I love to play now are The Greatest Performance of My Life.....Born to Lose....Music was my first love...Last Man in My Life...As If we never said Goodbye.. and Till so nice to relive the memories..

I am so glad I live in such a time where these greats have flourished and I was priviledged to witness their greatness !!! Thank You Dame Shirley, Dusty, Liza and PSB !!!
great lady wonderful voice
OMG! DSB is still stunning! Total perfection...stage presence, vocal artistry and emotional power. A unique legend who live on forever in the wonderful legacy of music she has gifted to us. Bravo!
there are great singers..and then there's Shirley..all alone at the top
I love this song it's very moving....Shirley has an amazing way of expressing words...you feel it you sense it you live every moment her whole being expresses a very vivid picture of emotion....it's in her movement, with her body her hands that are so expressive and beautiful to watch, she has it all ...No one absolutely no one can perform a song as she does....years ago I invited my brother to one of her shows.....as she often does ended with 'This is My Life' after the show he said He had tears in his eyes....that is really something for my brother to say....he's big strong and tough as they come not the type that would reduce to tears because Shirley Bassey knows how to reach the depths of your soul...she is so amazing...for years I have loved her I was about 16 or so when I first heard her sing..Till..and I was absolutely captivated by her magical sound. My interest became a passion all my life I am sad to say today that I don't have all her LP's that were and still a treasure, I had almost everyone released.....today I have lots of CD's and DVD's....but through these last few years I have not played her music so much..I only have TV but can still watch video''s.....More recently I bought a new TV and I can watch KZread....So it's been a revival of Shirely Bassey ...the ones I love to play now are The Greatest Performance of My Life.....Born to Lose....Music was my first love...Last Man in My Life...As If we never said Goodbye.. and Till so nice to relive the memories..
That - for all the young viewers in cyberland - is what we call a "live performance" by a woman who has actual "talent". Watch and learn...with love! Shirley - you've still got it and you ALWAYS will! Exquisite!

She Is just AMAZING
I´m speachless. Wow. So much emotions and power at the same time. She si for me the golden voice still.
Dame Shirley Bassey + PSB : PERFECT!!! The song is symply beautiful! GREAT EMOTION!!!
This gorgeous superstar won’t be around forever . . . Totally adore her ! Let’s value her and her music while we can
This is her greatest performance, second possibly only to her 1985 come back of this is my life. This REAL!
And a DVD has never been released of what became her final concert appearance. Unbelievable.
Really the last of the GREAT DIVAS!!! How lucky we are to still hear her!!!!
What a shame she never recorded this song in the70s - if she had, it would have been a signature song.
How could 7 people not like this.

I got the Performance cd for Christmas. I CANNOT stop listening to it. This song, Almost There and Apartment are my favorites...though they are all pretty fantastic.
This is amazing .......beautiful a legend ...Shirley we all love you mwah !! please more live concerts we want to see more of you in 2013 xxx
One of the greatest artists of our time. A real super star. I wish one day I could hear her sing live. God bless you Shirley.
I always said to myself that this song should be Shirley Bassey's swan's song when that final day comes when she makes that final appearance on the stage saying farewell to her audience . . . .that's if she ever retires! But why should she? She is going STRONG and is better as ever! But still this song should be her last song because throughout her whole career she has given the performance of her life. This song perfectly explains and wraps up her successful career.
Always go into a mood of melancholy, can't explain it as it's such a beautiful song. The trumpet solo is devastating. 😥
Shirley Bassey is the Greatest singer of alla times a wonderful voice that brings joy to your heart.
One of the greatest artist of all time !!!
Amazing song! Emotional performance, a true show stopper that brings out tears to our eyes!! Bravo Dame Shirley! (Best to Pet Shop Boys. I don't think there is a more prolific pair anywhere in the world. You guys just don't stop!!)
A truly beautiful song with wonderful lyrics clearly written and sang from the heart.
Just pure brilliance and thanks for posting it.
Love you, Dame Shirley Bassey. You brought tears to my eyes with this song.
A masterpiece. ✨
