In Italian:

In 1969, Shirley Bassey appare a Rai Uno.

Quando lei si e’ sposata con il suo marito italiano, lei ha fatto un tour per tutto il paese per avvicinarsi ai suoi fans itialiani. Lei ha prodotto 11 canzoni in italiano e Norman Newell ha trovato anche nella radio italiana alcuni dei suoi grandi successi tali “Natali” e “La Vita” (This is my life).”

Roughly translated:

When she was married to an Italian husband, she made a tour of the whole country in order to approach her Italian fans. 11 songs were produced in Italian and Norman Newell found also on the Italian radio some of her smash hits such as “Natalie” and “La Vita” (This Is My Life).”

From Vogue

Happy festive news from vogue.com…

“It’s the season of goodwill, so what better time for children’s charity Barnardo’s to open a pop-up store in one of London’s busiest shopping areas?

Dame Shirley Bassey has donated some of her famously flamboyant dresses to the one-off Carnaby Street store.”

What a good story – Barnardo’s benefiting – Glam clothes – Carnaby Street – VOGUE – and DSB

Your chance to buy Shirley’s cast-off clobber this Christmas!

I nearly bought a beautiful YSL jacket but it was too small.

From the front page on 18 December of the Daily Express, one of Britain’s most Bassey-friendly newspapers (in my experience over the years.)

The Express has always given good and fair coverage of DSB stories, thankfully with fewer of the cliches
