Bassey, Shirley - Diamonds Are Forever Lyrics

Makes me shiver when I hear this ...it's that good

She is brilliant what a voice and the way she commanded the stage etc I’ve done many of her stuff as a lead trumpet player and they just have something which gets you going Bond themes I always listen to them and you can always tel if they’ve been written in her style

I know when someone has unbelievable talent when I’m reduced to tears.

Waiting for Kanye to drop the bass

Amazing. Half nigerian yoruba woman.

Wow🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I've had a crush on her for about 50 years or so. She's awesome!

This is my all time favourite version of such a great song and Dame Shirley looks amazing and her performance is 2nd to none 💎

Dame Shirley, what a song! 👏👏👏

Hot Milf.Sexy

Chills singers dont sing like this anymore. Dark majestic classic voices. I miss it

Shirley Bassey has set the bar too high! Paul Mc Cartney and Duran Duran did well as Bond songs, but Shirley Bassey is still the best. In my opinion.

0:14
....is one of the few times Id have stood up and shouted "STOP CLAPPING!" while this woman is performing, but only because we can't hear her perform.

Tears in my eye. A gift from above

Shirley Bassey is one of those rare recording artist who sounds great live as they do on the record. 🎼🎙

Shirley is the Diamond!

oh, and the words and music are 10 out of 10 as well. You had to good on those days.

Shirley set a standard that no one has since reached. Any budding "vocalists" should watch and learn. I can only think of Whitney Huston as a comparable voice, however she did not have the performance and charisma to accompany it.

Qué bella melodía. Mé traé bellísimos recuerdos.

I don't need love, for what good will love do me

A song sung by a pure Diamond.

Thanks !

Shirley. Let’s talk about this wig. It’s serving 1970s realness

Diamonds are forever💍

Diamonds R forever💍

I’ve always loved her since I was a little kid 😍

je l'ai rencontré par hasard en 1971 et notre regard s'est croisé ! Et moi le jeune marin intimidé n'a jamais oublié son regard et le sourire qu'elle m'a adressé puis elle est monté dans une voiture ....

An extreme ode to materialism - by way of (Blood) Diamonds.. Great vocals tho !!

Über 80 Jahre schon Die Frau, immer noch Cool.

Original

Awesome.

Too bad the band isn't good enough for Shirley. They're playing but they're not backing her up

care to elaborate?

name of 2nd song in vid? thx ❤ shirl gets me thru the worst of times and makes the best of times better

The second song is titled, 'Shirley' - This song was written just for her by Al Stillman and LeRoy Holmes and included on her 1966 Album title, 'I've Got A Song For You' Regards, Scot

👏👏💐💐

Love her !!!!!!
What a voice!!!! God bless her!! Simple Unique!!!

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

She is the WHOLE package! I feel blessed to be able to watch her in her prime. This video was recorded two years after the movie was released.

Madame.....she is Sex....without vulgarity.....sheathed in Sequins and DRAMA !!!!!!

CorneliusWashington ALL of what you said! She’s exquisite!

Guy at 1:17 with the white tie...XD HAHAHAHAHA. BTW Shirley has THE greatest voice... :)

Magnificent.

Emence performance shirley and orchestra Class

she and her accompaniment are so very precisely in sync at all times

صوت كوني ألماسي أزلي

A vocal Goddess.

Another event for the time machine to visit in person....

the audience is like a bunch of doorknobs.......just sitting there.

Besides Shirley Bassey's great voice, the use she chooses to make of it gives a special meaning to the words in each song. Therefore, Shirley Bassey is not only a wonderful singer but a particularly talented singer-actress.

timeless powerhouse vocals. I pretend to work while listening to this.

Diamonds Are Forever
Shirley Bassey
Diamonds are forever, they are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me
Diamonds are forever, hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see ev'ry part, nothing hides in the heart to hurt me
I don't need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone, they'll lustre on
Diamonds are forever, sparkling round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for
I don't need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone, they'll lustre on
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever

Such POWER! Only she and Chaka Khan can pull it off. Because this is a Bond song, most don't give it the reverence it deserves.

sublime .

unique , belle , talentueuse , inoubliable , ETERNELLE !!!

One of the greatest voices of all time . . . and absolutely a class act!

I didn't know Shirley Bassey was black.. (Her mom English, dad Nigerian)

She was born in Wales

She's been black for a while now

That's right she is

She’s not black she’s more than just a skin colour, she’s Welsh one of the worlds greatest talents

She’s very much a Black Woman ❤️It doesn’t matter where she’s from 🤷🏽‍♀️

stylistic interpretation couldn't be more spot on

No words needed

Racheal McCoy
mum's The World

The only lady who had the authority to sing Bonds film and no other will be like her. Ms. Bassey is alone in the category. She is a forever "Diamond" in the music industry and legend.

I love it when she shakes her head no.

Eric Thiem omg me too.. it was as if she was confidently reassuring herself

What a voice.

jaxxstraw AND she’s so fun to watch. She’s a dazzling, sexy, playful entertainer

I have always liked shirley Bassey xxxxxxxxx
