Diamond Tour programme 1988
News is flowing in from various sources, that can be summarised as follows:
“Shirley Bassey is desperate to work with Kanye West - after the rapper/producer impressed her with his sampling of her hit Diamonds Are Forever in 2005. And Bassey is reportedly keen to work around the Stronger hit maker’s schedule to see the collaboration come into fruition.”
Many fans believe the reports are true. Kanye is a hugely popular artist and a talented musician. Perfect for a collaboration.
I hope they do work together. But Kanye must be in huge demand. His records are almost guaranteed chart success.
DSB never ceases to surprise. She has always had a little touch of the rebel about her, and is not afraid to experiment musically. Big Band, Rock, Show Tunes, Techno, Latin, Pop, Torch Anthems, Classical, and now Hip Hop.
One thing’s for sure, whatever she does is going to be fantastic. The last album is superb, even thought there was some criticism of repackaging earlier vocals. It is another Bassey classic.

I’ll have to pimp up the blog!
