Welcome to the Dame Shirley Bassey Archive for 1972.
The images are in chronological order to the best of my knowledge.
1972 begins with Dame Shirley Bassey in the TV Times for a guest performance on Sez Les and the release of I Capricorn album before a US tour, including guesting on Dick Cavett and Merv Griffen shows and cohost on Mike Douglas show. A German tour and TOTPs before a gala at Concertgebouw. Gracing the cover of Veronica mag, a UK tour and a season at Las Vegas Hilton. The TV special All About Shirley airs in UK and Germany, followed by a season at Batley before the release of And I Love You So album. The year finishes in fine form with This Is Your Life honour, and a TV special from Talk Of The Town, before returning home to Lugano and a spot of skiing.The 4 songs in this edition are I Capricorn, The Greatest Performance Of My Life, Ballad Of The Sad Young Men and And I Love You So.
Sadly at the moment this clip can't be played in Canada or Japan due to Copyright issues in those places. Best wishes, Carl.
I have been collecting Dame Shirley for over 45 years and have digitised my entire collection by date from newspapers, magazines, photos, programs, sheet music and of course the music.
I hope this series of videos will help tell Dame Shirley's story in a lineal way for fans new and old.
As a child whenever I found a photo of Dame Shirley I would wonder what the story behind the picture was, and I still do. I would cut out news clippings and put together multiple scrapbooks,
then the internet came along and an explosion of knowledge. Now I know some of the stories behind many of the photos and hope you get enjoyment in finding these stories too.
If you have an image from this year that I haven't included, please consider scanning it and sharing it. If you have a newspaper clipping, review or any other item that would expand the story please let me know. Dating items is a tricky process but I have tried as best I can to get the timeline correct.
I hope you enjoy this series which will be ongoing, so please subscribe for new postings to come.
