1967 (Something Special - Shirley Bassey and Count Basie. Count Basie and his Orchestra performed all the music on this TV Special) The song, 'I've Got A Song For You' is the title track of Shirley's 1966 LP with same name, "I've Got A Song For You." The second song on this clip, 'Strangers In the Night' is also a track on this LP. ABOUT the LP: I've Got a Song for You is a 1966 album by Shirley Bassey. Bassey had left EMI's Columbia Label, and this was her first album for United Artists, a label she would remain with for approximately 14 years. This album and the following release And We Were Lovers were produced by Bassey's former husband, Kenneth Hume. (Their marriage had ended in divorce in 1965, but he continued to act as her manager, and for these two albums, her producer.) The album entered the UK Albums Chart at #26, but only remained on the chart for one week, and failed to chart in the US, despite her having received outstanding reviews for live engagements in New York and Las Vegas that same year, and the fact that the album was recorded in New York. It was an inauspicious start for her at UA, as none of her albums would chart either in the UK or the US until 1970 (save one EMI/Columbia album issued after she left for United Artists, most likely previously recorded material, and one compilation album).[1][2] In that year, 1970, Bassey would begin to produce more contemporary pop-oriented albums, but here in 1966, despite scoring her biggest hit with Goldfinger ...

1967 (Climb Every Mountain was a #1 Hit for Shirley back in 1961, before the movie came out. Here she sings it live on her TV Special with Count Basie and his Orchestra providing the music. Shirley then follows with the great Irving Berlin/Jule Styne song, 'Let Me Sing and I'm Happy). ABOUT Climb Every Mountain: Shirley first recorded this song as a Columbia single in 1961, and then included the track on her 1961 LP title, 'Shirley Bassey'. Shirley's powerful recording of this classic song climbed the charts until it reached the Number 1 position! ABOUT the song: "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. Here it is sung at the close of the first act by the Mother Abbess. It is themed as an inspirational piece, to encourage people to take every step towards attaining one's dreams. This song shares inspirational overtones with the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" from Carousel. They are both sung by the female mentor characters in the shows, and are used to give strength to the protagonists in the story, and both are given powerful reprises at the end of their respective shows. However, as Oscar Hammerstein II was writing the lyrics, it developed its own inspirational overtones along the lines of an earlier Hammerstein song, "There's a Hill Beyond a Hill". He felt that the metaphors of climbing mountains and fording streams better fitted Maria's quest for her spiritual compass. However, the muse behind the song was ...
