Shirley Bassey - The Greatest Performance Of My Life (1976 Shirley Bassey Show)

Shirley Bassey performs "The Greatest Performance Of My Life", which is one of her signature songs of the 1970s when in concert. This song was written by Roberto Sanchez [Sandro], Oscar Anderle, and Robert Allen. Shirley recorded and released this song on her 1972 album titled, 'Shirley Bassey - I Capricorn'. As the last song performed on her 1976 series, she gives this rendition a little extra (ummmph) as only she can do! LYRICS: Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life I never lost control, I played the part so well That not a single soul could tell that I was lying And so though it was hard to face our friends I gave a party I know I meant to show them all I've gotten over you And though I saw the unbelieving looks on all their faces I had to try to make them think that it was true So I who had me dance, dance through the night, just like a gypsy And I who seldom drink, drank like a fish till I was high And I who hadn't laughed since God knows when, outlaughed Pagliacci Till they believed it more than even I Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life I never lost control, I played the part so well That not a single soul could tell that I was lying But love if you had been behind the curtain when it fell When all the lights were out and I was all alone You would have seen this actress crying Yes, tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life I never lost control, I played the part so well That not a single soul could tell that I was lying But love if you had been behind the curtain when it fell When all the lights were out and I was all alone You would have seen this actress crying ABOUT the album, I Capricorn: Following on from the success of her previous two albums, I Capricorn saw Bassey still in the midst of her revival in the 1970s. Some months earlier she had released the single "For All We Know", which had become one of the biggest hits of her career, peaking at No.6 in the UK and remaining on the charts for half a year. This album was released just as the single was leaving the chart and just as her second James Bond theme, "Diamonds are Forever", was entering the chart. Surprisingly, the Bond theme song was not featured on this collection. The album itself made No.13 and remained on the UK album chart for 11 weeks, it also reached No.94 on the Billboard 200 in the US. The album also contains the popular songs "Losing My Mind", "The Look of Love" and John Lennon's "Love". The title track was appropriate in that Bassey was indeed a Capricorn (born January 8). I Capricorn remains one of the most highly regarded albums by her fans. Early issues of this album had a metallic gold finish and the artwork was pasted on. I Capricorn was re-issued on CD in 2000 by EMI with alternative artwork.
