Talentless.

All power. No tone or grace.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

She'd do a good job at Mumbles lighthouse when visibility is a bit patchy.

Harsh, son, harsh...

I absolutlely love the late '40s early '50s torch singer genre and the young Shirley plugged into that well.

You don't see much in the way of Bassey covers. Some performances are inimtable.

Look at the today's chart, mun. Any female on there would sell their soul for a fraction of her youthful native ability. A BIG voice for the set-piece occasion.

Big isn't necessarily better.

There are a few juveniles in work with me who switch to Radio 1 the moment more discerning backs are turned. I've had the grave misfortune to cop for some of it, trust me, Doc, she is.

I still remember the babysitter arriving when my Mam and Dad went off to see Shirley at the DD Club in Caerphilly...Great show apparently, they were big fans.

I grew up listening to her belting a tune out on the old red Dansette...

Happy days...

One of the country's; top Divas, just ask Jane.

But Patterson did encourage Horrocks' bravura impersonations, which she first flourished as a means of entertaining friends during lunchbreak at Oldham Technical College. She caught the showbiz bug at the age of 15 after seeing Barbra Streisand in A Star is Born. Her Bassey - all grimaces of sincerity and black feather boas - is particularly near the knuckle. "It's not very fair on Shirley Bassey," Horrocks concedes. "She would be thick-skinned if she didn't mind. I was on Des O'Connor with her and ended up doing an impression of her. In hospitality afterwards, I told her I was embarrassed, but she said, 'Don't worry. I was shaving my armpits at the time and didn't see it'.
