Shirley Bassey

Rating:
Summary: Bassey - In words, pictures and not so accurate facts!
Review: This is a great book for fans of the incredible Miss Bassey and vocalist lovers alike. With beautiful reviews of her recordings and stagework and Bassey's own thoughts on picking songs, dresses and performing, this is a superb coffee table book too. But do beware for if you delve too deeply into the text, amazing inacurate facts can be found. For example every one knows that Goldfinger was written by Barry, Bricusse and Anthony Newley, yet Bassey quotes some other non entity? Overview: Great pics, superb presentation but did Bassey really write this? I suspect that it is ghost written but don't let this put you off. The only reason it gains 4 and not 5 stars from me is the occasional gaffes that lies in the text!
