Introduction: "She takes the words of a song and makes them poetry, she
takes the music and weaves it into a tapestry of many colours, hers is the voice
of happiness, heartache, tenderness and fiery passion, she is what love is all
about. Ladies and gentles, she's something special, she's Shirley Bassey."
Shirley: Thank you, Thank you, I must say I have been really looking
forward to sharing this hour with you. You know every time I sing that song,
people say to me, "what exactly is it that you do that nobody doe sit like" well
I can tell you a little secret, it is my spaghetti bolognaise! Tonight I have
some old songs, some new songs and some borrowed songs, but definitely not blues
songs. Now a song for the lonely...
Shirley: Joining me now on the show is my guest from America, the first
time I saw him was in the Broadway production of Camelot, and the moment he
walked on as Sir Lancelot, I wanted to be his Guinevere, the singing star of so
many Broadway musicals, ladies and gentlemen; Robert Goulet:
Come Rain or Come Shine(Performed by Robert Goulet)
(Shirley and Robert discuss their styles of
music)
You Don't Bring Me Flowers(Duet With Robert
Goulet)
Shirley: Richard doesn't speak very much
English, so I had better translate, Richard:Voila, bonsoir je voulais vous dire combien je
suis heureux de m'être parmi vous ce soir, j'espère que nous
allons passer une agréable soirée avec la ravissante Shirley Bassey. Shirley: He says "Hello"! - (speaks in Welsh) Richard: Shirley, I do speak a little English Shirley: Oh, Richard, I am so happy about that, because it saves me a lot
of hassle and a lot of argy bargy, Richard: Yes, but tell me, do you speak English? Shirley: Well I try Richard, I try, that was a lovely piece of music,
what was it called? Richard: "L" for Love Shirley: Isn't that funny? here in
England we say 'ell for Leather, trust the French to make in love. Shirley: Richard, how about "d" for duet? Richard: avec beaucoup plaisir Shirley: Merci...
Shirley: I hope the songs we sang for you tonight brought you some
pleasure; to Robert Goulet I say thank you, and to Richard Clayderman I say
merci, and in a show that is all about music, could I have done it without my
musical director? yes! But certainly not without the gentlemen and the lady of
the orchestra. Thank you for looking in, we must do it again some time,
goodnight...
