She deserved to be called a diva of all times...credit also.to.her gown designer shirley looks elegant and beautiful...more power to you dame shirley bassey
There are not words good enough to describe this lady's voice . She is lovely looking too Nobody else should be allowed to sing James Bond themes either . So there.
The expression is "hold a candle to." I hold her also in high esteem, but she has rivals that are her equal, but I would not put her beneath anyone. Peace
