HOW fab is this? The Living Tree is released early 2007 - and I reckon it's one of the best things she's ever done.

 

OK, she's 284 and all that - but... HOW amazing is her voice in this clip?

 

This sounds like the best Bond theme that never was - stunning stuff. Maybe Casino Royale would've done better to look a bit more to the classic themes than employing the worst theme EVER for a 007 movie? This would've been perfect.

 

My Mum used to see her sing the last turn up in Maerdy Workingmen's Hall in the 50s ;D... she'd be running with her frocks and heels in a shoulder bag for the last bus back down to Cardiff..... how times change, eh?

The more I hear this single, the more I absolutely love it - I can even imagine someone like Massive Attack doing a brilliant remix of it.

 

Also, the lyrics are great... I love the "Let me dance... til my shoes cry" line.

 

It's great to see one of the world's best ever vocalists sounding better than ever.

Good on your uncle! I, too, marched when Thatcher closed the mines in the 80s...

 

Speaking of Thatcher, Bassey lost a huge chunk of her Welsh fanbase, as well as much of her gay following, after her public support of Thatcher just after the Miner's strike, you know. She even included a double-page photo of the 2 together in one of her tour programmes. Pretty shameful stuff, but it doesn't detract from the fact this is a stunning return.
