Check the hands..
There's only one Shirley Bassey! And isn't she incredible. I watched Dame Shirley Bassey: The Girl from Tiger Bay on BBC iplayer yesterday, and became enchanted by her. Her over-the-top theatrical performances are slightly creepy but enthrallingly brilliant. She acts out the music with her voice, body and EYES, and her sexual presence on stage is intense: the original shewolf. According to wikipedia she's Britain's most successful female artist of all time, which is probably because she's the most distinctive female British artist of all time. There really is noone else like her, which makes her utterly untouchable. Long live Shirley.
