I enjoyed that version of Something. It’s been done to death, but Shirley Bassey never half-asses anything, and she - and the arrangement - make the bombast fresh and fun.

Also, she mops the floor with the Pink cover at r5.

Thanks, OP. Never heard this. Beautiful.

R5 I remember a similar clip of Aretha Franklin covering Adele’s Rolling in the Deep. It’s interesting to see this earlier generation sorting out the content of more contemporary performers.

Aretha's been doing stuff like that for decades which is part of the reason why she lasted much longer than her peers.

This thread is for Shirley, not that dead lady with a purse.
