Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey, DBE (born 8 January 1937)[1] is a Welsh singer whose career began in the mid-1950s, best known for both her powerful voice and for recording the theme songs to the James Bond films Goldfinger (1964), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), and Moonraker (1979).[2][3][4] In January 1959, Bassey became the first Welsh person to gain a No. 1 single.[5]
In 2000, Bassey was made a Dame for services to the performing arts. In 1977 she received the Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist in the previous 25 years.[6] Bassey has been called "one of the most popular female vocalists in Britain during the last half of the 20th century."[2][7][8]
