This Is My Life

Shirley Bassey

Mid-century vocal power. Brassy, defiant, and draped in velvet orchestration, this is the definitive sound of a diva claiming her space.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition in the title track where the Italian melody transforms into a defiant English anthem.
The seamless vocal glide between the two standards in the 'Goin’ Out of My Head' medley.
The final, lung-busting note of 'This Is My Life' that seems to vibrate the very air of the recording studio.
