Welcome to this very special edition of Dame Shirley Bassey Archive 2017: 80 Years of Glorious Gowns
The Gowns are in chronological order to the best of my knowledge.
Following them through the changes and transitions that were made through the years.
The 5 songs included are You And I, Vehicle, The Way That I Want To Touch You, I Only Want Some and Thankyou For The Years.
I have been collecting Dame Shirley for over 45 years and have digitised my entire collection by date from newspapers, magazines, photos, programs, sheet music and of course the music.
I hope this series of videos will help tell Dame Shirley's story in a lineal way for fans new and old.
As a child whenever I found a photo of Dame Shirley I would wonder what the story behind the picture was, and I still do. I would cut out news clippings and put together multiple scrapbooks,
then the internet came along and an explosion of knowledge. Now I know some of the stories behind many of the photos and hope you get enjoyment in finding these stories too.
If you have an image that I haven't included, please consider scanning it and sharing it. If you have a newspaper clipping, review or any other item that would expand the story please let me know. Dating items is a tricky process but I have tried as best I can to get the timeline correct.
I hope you enjoy this series which will be ongoing, so please subscribe for new postings to come.
best wishes,
Carl.
