In my opinion. Our greatest female British singer. Not taking anything away from any others because we have had some true greats but shirley is a treasure proving that diamonds are forever. I was blessed that my late mother used to belt out her records when I was young. Her voice always reduces me to tears.

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!!

It reminds me no matter how ill or suffering she was she always managed to put on a smile, a brave face & a performance to ensure that her family & friends never saw her suffering. Thank you Pet Shop Boys & Shirley for allowing me to play this at my mothers funeral it is so very special for me - thank you

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 KZfaq....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..

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.

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.
