Shirley Bassey enjoyed a revival in popularity during the early 1970s reflected in the high chart placing of Something Else and its similarly titled predecessor. During this period MOR artists appealing to the adult market often enjoyed a longer shelf life than the more ephemeral teen idols. (US:123 UK:7)
“Big, bold, brassy and Bassey. Even when you think she might over-sing something she has a way of always ending up in the right place.”
“I bought the record years ago, and it's been my favourite Bassey album since then. Here, you can feel her power and emotion.”
“By the 1970s Shirley Bassey's voice became truly ‘Something Else’, more full bodied and also dramatically deepened in tone, becoming one of the all time original great voices of the century.”
“Nobody is quite as stunning as Shirley is on a torch ballad full of pathos, and none is finer that the classic Excuse Me where you feel her soul in this passion filled masterpiece. A complete vocal tour-de-force makes Bridge Over Troubled Water as great as the original, which speaks volumes about the wondrous talent of Shirley Bassey. Classic orchestration meets a classic performance, so get ready to use the repeat button over and over on this incredible performance.”
“Something Else is the perfect title many times over. Shirley's perfect voice always hits the mark and those glorious high notes.”
“This is by far the best Bassey album ever produced. The sublime Johnny Harris arrangements perfectly match Miss Bassey's soaring vocals. The first time I heard this I was blown away.”
“This pure cracker features the astonishing arrangements of Johnny Harris. It's a shame Shirley doesn't have these fine arrangers any more. Anyone who likes Miss Bassey will love this album. A sheer treat.”
“The album is vibrant and playful. I'd Like To Hate Myself In The Morning is one of the best songs and reflects the whole feel of the album. It is a must for any fan.”
