"Bassey was a stylish vocalist who lent her particular charm to the golden era of pop with her beautiful voice and her memorable ballads."

"Remarkable voice, incredible range, a certain cachet of her own with lyrics and melodies."

"If you love strong vocals, you can't miss with Shirley Bassey. This woman can really belt out a song."

"Shirley Bassey has a powerful voice which is incredibly rich and sensual."
