She now resides in Monaco and has recently sold her London apartment. Many of its furnishings were auctioned for charity. Two very popular 'Audiences With Shirley Bassey' have aired on British TV, the most recent being in March 2006.
In 2006, UK retailer Marks and Spencer hired Bassey for their Christmas advertising campaign, with Dame Shirley singing a cover of P!nk's 'Get the Party Started'.
In late 2009 Bassey released 'The Performance' her first studio album for two decades, which was released in a maelstrom of anticipation. Still popular well into one of the longest and most illustrious musical careers in British and indeed international history, Bassey is considered by Brits to be a national treasure.

Please note that Shirley Bassey first started in the business, she was classified as 'Soprano' pitch. After about a decade, her pitch lowered to somewhere between Alto and Mezzo-Soprano, and she has the pipes to sing the full spectrum of both pitch levels....This song was included on her 1962 LP titled, 'Let's Face The Music, with Nelson Riddle and his Orchestra'
@sas9023055
I can tell you, yes, this is definitely Shirley Bassey, referred to an 'Early Shirley' recording.
@animalsanon123
I don't think this is Shirley.
