The Very Best Part of Last Night's Oscars...

[Illiterati]

This lady has not lost one whit of her amazing voice...especially considering how long ago she sang this. You'd just about think you were listening to the original score. Keep in mind that the movie came out in 1964, a mind-boggling 49 years ago!

 

[Overmind One]

She has aged really really well.

 

[Illiterati]

She was 24 when she sang the original, from what I can deduce. What a tremendous voice she has...

And what are you doing, this fine, special day, my dear?

I'll always remember this story David Bowie told about a show he played in his early days. It involves the backstage bathroom accommodations, or rather lack thereof, and a surly theater manager -- "If it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you!"

She is a damn good singer. Saw her on Graham Norton about a year ago and was amazed that her voice was still so powerful. Good on her!
