New Shirley Bassey album released this week, includes re-recorded 'Goldfinger'
Dame Shirley Bassey's newest album, "Hello Like Before," was released this week. The album also includes a new rendition of her most famous Bond cue, "Goldfinger," true to the John Barry composition.
"I got a couple of notes wrong originally! After 50 years I got the chance to re-record it and get it right."
Reviews, although generally positive, noted that some of her new covers - "Hey Jude" and "Englishman in New York" - were hard to do justice to. The jewel in the crown is clearly "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", a duet with Paloma Faith.
The album is now available to order on
Amazon UK
