Shirley Bassey

Another great song is "Where do I begin". First, their tour bus crashed, and was in disrepair, so they were forced to rent a van. Second, their last show in Bartlesville, OK had to be cancelled. They went in to a restaurant after their show in Dallas, TX, and when they came out, they found every thing in their rental van stolen, including their passports and whatever money they had. Bassey became a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (the female equivalent of a Knight Commander) on December 31, 1999. However, the headlining tour was marred by a couple of incidents. A few months later, Shirley Bassey signed to EMI Columbia, and the second phase in her recording career had begun. blindside sold out five of the shows they headlined this Summer (2004). They ended up with both in the top 3 at the same time. Warriors are doing more than enough to help out.

Shirley also recorded Kiss Me, Honey Honey, Kiss Me at this time, and while As I Love You raced up the charts, so too did this record. Thankfully the Blindside Union and P.O.D. In February 1959, it made #1 and stayed there for 4 weeks. Therefore, the label couldn't support them anymore. It didn't sell well at first, but after a chance appearance at the London Palladium, things began to pick up. In 2003, the Warner Music Group was sold to private investors, and employees lost jobs as a result. As I Love You appeared as a b-side to another ballad, Hands Across The Sea. In late 2004, it was announced that blindside were leaving Elektra Records per the band's request.

In mid-1958, she recorded two singles which would end up as classics in the Bassey catalogue. It has generated a minor hit in All of Us. That year she also recorded under the direction of US producer Mitch Miller in America for the Columbia label, producing the single If I Had A Needle And Thread / Tonight My Heart She Is Crying. Then in 2004, About a Burning Fire was released. Further singles appeared, and in February 1957 Shirley scored her first hit with The Banana Boat Song, which peaked at #8 in the British chart. In 2003 they toured with Hoobastank in support of the album. Due to the suggestive lyric, the BBC banned it, but it still sold well nonetheless, backed with her powerful rendition of Stormy Weather. It generated minor hits in "Sleepwalking", "Pitiful", and "Caught a Glimpse".

Shirley duly recorded her first single, entitled Burn My Candle, and Philips released it in February 1956. 2002 saw the release of blindside's next album, Silence. While she starred in this show, Philips A&R and record producer Johnny Franz spotted her on television, became impressed, and offered her a record deal. soon started endorsing blindside (actually, they were doing so since 1998) and signed them to Elektra Records under the imprint, 3 Points. She toured various theatres until she got an offer of the show that put her firmly on the road to stardom, Al Read's Such Is Life. P.O.D. He saw talent in Shirley, and decided he would make her a star. It was their final album for Solid State, after lackluster sales of the two albums.

However, in 1955, a chance recommendation of her to Michael Sullivan, a booking agent in London, put her firmly on course for her destined career. In 2000, A Thought Crushed My Mind was released. By this time Shirley had become sick of show business and had become pregnant at 16 years old with her daughter Sharon, so she went back to waitressing in Cardiff. In 1998, Tooth & Nail Records issued a new EP, titled Empty Box. She next took up a professional engagement in Hot From Harlem, which ran until 1954. The first album, which was self-titled, was released to American audiences. In 1953, she signed up for the revue Memories of Jolson, a musical based on the life of Al Jolson. In 1997, Solid State Records got a hold of the EP, and signed blindside to a record deal.

She enjoyed singing while she packed enamel pots, and to supplement her wage she sang in local pubs and clubs. All members are Christian, and it is evident in their lyrics ("I thought about Your love"; "I caught a glimpse of Your eye"), among countless other examples. Shirley first found employment packing in a local factory when she left school at the age of fifteen. They formed in 1994 as "Underfree" and kept that name for two years before releasing their debut EP in 1996.
