Shirley Bassey needs no introduction, she is truly one of the greatest in the entertainment business whose unwavering appeal spans more than four decades, many generations, and fans spanning to the corners of the globe. Shirley belongs quite rightly to a tiny handful of international artists whose popularity refuses to diminish.
In this concert, recorded for English TV in 1980, Bassey delivers a stellar performance and invites special guests Robert Goulet and Richard Clayderman to join her on stage.
Robert Goulet: COME RAIN OR COME SHINE
Biography, By John Bush, All Music Guide
His face is more famous than his voice, but Robert Goulet recorded a string of popular albums for Columbia during the 1960s, striking the pop charts with several hits and earning a 1962 Grammy award. Born in 1933 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, Goulet was raised in Edmonton, Alberta, where he first studied acting and singing as a teenager. He appeared on Canadian television in the early '50s, but moved to New York and by the end of the decade was fit into a prime Broadway role: Sir Lancelot, in Lerner & Loewe's Camelot (with Julie Andrews and Richard Burton). A starring role in several films proved less than successful, however.
He began singing in the early '60s as well, and after an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, Goulet signed to Columbia in 1962. His single "What Kind of Fool Am I?" became a modest hit later that year, and early in 1963, he won a Grammy for Best New Artist. Like many vocal artists of the day, however, Goulet became a bankable LP seller rather than a chart success, and though he made a surprise Top 20 showing of "My Love, Forgive Me (Amore, Scusami)" in 1964, it was his last hit. The album My Love Forgive Me reached number five and became a gold seller, and Goulet continued recording until 1970, when he moved into concert and television work. In 1993, Goulet mounted a production of Camelot, this time trading roles to play the more aged King Arthur.
Lyrics You Don't Bring Me Flowers:
You dont bring me flowers
You dont sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come thru the door
At the end of the day
I remember when
You couldnt wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin me late at night
When its good for you
And youre feelin alright
Well you just roll over
And turn out the light
And you dont bring me flowers anymore
It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But used to bes dont count anymore
They just lay on the floor
til we sweep them away
And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I leared how to love
Even learned how to lie
Youd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
cause you dont bring me flowers anymore
