Shirley Bassey

Sorry People Shirley is the greatest female singer in the last 30 years.

Lots of power and passion. Haven't heard her sing lately.

If more people were aware of this lady, then Dame Shirley Bassey (Wales, United Kingdom) would be right at the top of the list. Back in 1976 Shirley received Britain's prestigious 'Best Female Vocalist Of The Last 50 Years of Recorded Sound'; this award is not given out very often! And, after 55 years in Show Business her voice is more powerful than ever! Bassey is a mezzo pitch (Mid-Range) artist. Her vocal range in 'Belting Voice' (No Falsetto) is spectacular, along with her tremendous vocal projection. In the USA Bassey is know for her three James Bond Theme songs, Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker, but you can't sale between 100-150 Million records with just three songs. Over the years, Bassey has recorded over 600 songs, both studio and LIVE!

The majority of this list cannot even be placed against Shirley Bassey, her voice is one in a million and to listen to her gives you shivers in your spine. She is one of the few who can sing with power, but not shout.

Dame Shirley's voice is one of the wonders of the world. Last year at age 70 she recorded two songs with more vocal power than anyone on this list. Check out Get the Party Started and The Living Tree on YouTube.
