Shirley Bassey
Shirley nasceu a 8 de Janeiro de 1937 em Tiger Bay, Cardiff, País de Gales. Após terminar a escola arranjou emprego numa fábrica local mas ganhava um dinheiro extra nos clubes noturnos para homens. Viajou pelo Reino Unido nos anos 50 e pouco depois teve os seus primeiros tops, em 1959 com "As I Love You". Nos anos 60 teve "Reach for the Stars/Climb Every Mountain." seguido de "Goldfinger" nos EUA. Continuou nos anos 70 no Reino Unido com "Something," "For All We Know" e "Never Never Never." Em 1977 recebeu o Britannia Award para Melhor Solista Feminino dos Últimos 50 Anos. Em 1981 foi para a Suiça em semi-reforma mas apareceu em algumas ocasiões incluindo o album de 1987 com os Yello. Nos anos 90, abre um clube noturno em Cardiff, e faz várias tornées pelo mundo.
Shirley Bassey é a intérpretre de diversos hinos gays como "Diamonds are Forever", o inesquecível "I Am What I Am" e outros, no entanto ela própria não costumava viver muito bem com esta faceta "gay". De origem britânica tornou-se conhecida do público americano através dos seus três temas para os filmes 007: Goldfinger (1964), Diamonds Are Forever (1971) e Moonraker (1979).
