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.

Shirley Bassey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Til all the seas run dry
'Til then I'll worship you

'Til this young world grows old
My darling, I'll adore you
You are my reason to live
Just to have you adore me
'Til the rivers flow upstream
'Til lovers cease to dream
'Til then I'm yours, be mine
You are my reason to live
All I own I would give
Just to have you adore me
'Til the rivers flow upstream
'Til lovers cease to dream
'Til then I'm yours, be mine

She is unique, there has been no one like her in the past 50 years. I first heard her singing in 1971 while living overseas and she has been my No. 1 ever since. The Mariah Carey and BeyoncƩ of this world can go back home.

Dorothy Squires gave us first that Welsh style of singing.

Whitney comes close, but the Dame Shirley hands down is the very best of them all.

There's good, there's great, there's incredible, there's phenomenal, then there's Bassey. It's all flawless - - her power, vibrato, pitch, resonance, projection, breath control, articualtion, and stage command. There's nothing to criticize. She is the ultimate criterion for perfection. There simply will never be another Dame Shirley!
