Shirley Bassey - Everything I Own / Going Going Gone (1973 Recordings) video free download

1973 (Here are two songs recorded by Shirley Bassey in 1973. Both songs were recorded for her 1973 LP titled, 'Never Never Never', but the first track, 'Everything I Own' was held back and not included. It was finally released on one of Shirley's compilation CDs in 1994.

Both songs are excellent examples of Shirley's 1970's POP style, bringing her own unique high fidelity stamp to each song she sings. Most will recognize the first song, 'Everything I Own' which is a cover of the hit for the group, 'Bread' and it was written by David Gates. The second song, 'Going, Going, Gone' was co-written by John Barry and Alan Jay Lerner. I don't think I've heard anyone else sing it, so you might say this one was written especially for Shirley.

ABOUT the LP, Never Never Never:

Never Never Never is a 1973 album by Shirley Bassey. Released in May 1973, this album saw a peak in the Shirley Bassey career revival that she was experiencing during the early 1970s. The album's lead single, the title track had been a hit, reaching No.8 in the UK Charts and remaining in the top 50 for 19 weeks, becoming one of her biggest and most well-known hits, and her only single to make three US charts: No. 48 on the Billboard Hot 100, No.8 on the Adult Contemporary Chart, and No. 67 on the R&B Chart. The album soon followed and similarly entered the top 10, peaking at No. 10 during a 10 week run, and would go on to earn a silver disc. The album also was a hit in the US, peaking at No. 60 on the Billboard 200 amid positive reviews; it also hit No. 34 on the R&B Chart.

The original release was in stereo on vinyl (with a gatefold sleeve), and cassette. Photography for this album was by Lord Snowdon. The album was released in remastered form by BGO records in a 2 CD pack together with her 1975 album Good, Bad but Beautiful in 2005.

LYRICS - Everything I Own:

You sheltered me from harm

Kept me warm, kept me warm

You gave my life to me

Set me free, set me free

The finest years I ever knew

Were all the years I had with you

And I would give anything I own

And give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give everything I own

Just to have you back again

You taught me how to love

What it's of, what it's of

You never said too much but still you showed the way

And I knew from watching you

Nobody else could ever know

The part of me that can't let go

And I would give anything I own

Would give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give everything I own

Just to have you back again

Is there someone you know?

You're loving them so

But taking them all for granted

You may lose them one day

Someone takes them away

And they don't hear the words you long to say

And I would give anything I own

Will give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give everything I own

Just to have you back again

Just to touch you once again
