The Songs of Shirley Bassey

Important notice about the information on these pages

Correctness

• Although sometimes other artists maybe mentioned, who performed the same songs, this does not mean, that the lyrics are the same. Almost all lyrics have been modified by Dame Shirley Bassey. The changes maybe only some words (for example "she" to "he"), but often she has added verses, left out, or made other modifications. In addition Shirley Bassey herself does not use the same words every time she sings a song.

• I can't give any guarantee for the correctness of the lyrics, or any other information on this site. On the contrary, I'm sure there are errors. Of course I'm trying, to keep it all correct, but I don't know everything. In addition english is not my native language.

• I don't have any official sources of information or any type of approval from the management of Shirley Bassey, all information collected on this site is based on my personal investigation. I guess Shirley Bassey and her management does not even know about me and this site.

Usage

The lyrics are for persons only, who adore Shirley Bassey, and who want to accompany her singing, or who want to get a better understanding of the meaning of her songs. I hope you'll enjoy it.

• The lyrics, photos and the other information are intended solely for private home use only, commercial use is not allowed. You yourself are responsible for the protection of copyrights. For any public performance or other public usage, you'll need an approval from a performance rights organization or other copyright owners.
