Get the Party Started

The Dame is as good at seventy as ever before.
Her voice is perhaps even better; it's rich and she knows how to use it.
The beat of the drums in the selections fit the mood, but it's for kids.
Come on, Shirley, we are all adults now. We know you can do sexy, so do it. Forget the sound effects: you don't need them. You are good enough without them. Do more singing, and less humming. October 28, 2008

Brassy, sassy, Bassey is back!

ANY Bassey fan must own this! If you can't believe this 70+ year old woman can still sing, you must see her video for "Party Started" on YouTube! She can still deliver a powerful voice. The reversions and remixes on this album are excellent. Where else can a Bond fan hear her sing "You Only Live Twice"?? September 23, 2008

Shirley Bassey - Get The Party Started

I'm, very disappointed with the orchestra who performed at this latest CD of Ms. Shirley Bassey compared to her old CDs. September 7, 2008

I'm stunned.

Well, okay. I'm a fan. I picked this up knowing I'd enjoy it but I NEVER, EVER expected I'd be hit by such a lush, complex and incredible set. At once it is wholly familiar yet completely fresh. I'm amazed by the utter brilliance of those involved, especially Dame Bassey who has managed to re-interpret some of her classic recordings and take on some notable songs by other artists and make it work like only a woman at the top of her game can. She has only enhanced her legacy with this offering and you can't miss by adding it to your collection. Trust me, this is a stroke of genius and it's clear she is in a class all by herself. Really, I'm stunned at how good this is. September 5, 2008
