1979 (A beautiful Udo Jurgens / Don Black song from Shirley Bassey, as performed on her 1979 TV Variety Show)

The song, If I Never Sing Another Song, was recorded and released on Shirley's 1976 LP titled, "Shirley Bassey - Love, Life, and Feelings"

LYRICS::

In my heyday

Young men wrote to me

Everybody seemed to have time to devote to me

Everyone I saw all swore they knew me

Once upon a song

Main attraction,

couldn't buy a seat

The celebrity, celebrities were dying to meet

I've had every accolade bestowed on me

And so you see

If I never sing another song

It wouldn't bother me

I had my share of fame

You know my name

If I never sing another song

Or take another bow

I would get by, but I'm not sure how

Always posing, but you love it all

Though you have to learn to act like you're above it all Everything I did the world applauded

Once upon a star

Framed citations, hung on every wall

Got a scrapbook full of quotes,

I can recall them all

There were times I felt the world belonged to me

And so you see

If I never sing another song It wouldn't bother me

I had my share of fame You know my name

If I never sing another song Or take another bow

I would get by, but I'm not sure how

But I'm not sure how

But I'm not sure how

My fave version for sure, I don't like it when some other singers take it up a key at the end, ruins the glow. I'm lovin the brown theme of the set too, very 70's.

So much better than the 1976 performance on her BBC TV show - more controlled, mature and just beautiful although she NEVER quite got the phrase "i've had every accolade bestowed on me, and so you see" right. Even the original studio recording wasn't right musically.

thisislea: Dame Shirley Bassey is very much around, and she just performed at the 2013 Academy Awards (Oscars) a few months back. I've uploaded a high quality version of her performance. Check it out! At 76 yo, Shirley's voice is as powerful as ever; some would say unbelievable, but Shirley's fans have always known that she poccesses one of the most powerful female voice for over 60 years in the business. Regards, Scot

This is my first time hearing Shirley Bassey, although I've heard the name, I think. (This performance was 1 year after I was born). Great voice, perfect presentation. A lot for a singer and performer to learn from. And this song is exactly what I needed this morning. Is she still around? Thanks for your channel.
