Get The Party Started was produced by Catherine
Feeney, Nikki Lamborn (Never The Bride), Bob
Kraushaar and Chuck Norman (NorthxNWest) with
backing vocals by Rietta Austin, Margo Buchanan,
Nikki Lamborn and Catherine Feeney. The music
video was produced by Hera King and directed by
Harvey and Carolyn (Crossroads Films).
This song was written by Linda Perry and
originally recorded by Pink. Shirley sang it for
the M&S Christmas TV ad, filmed in a spy movie
style, and featured models Lizzy Jagger, Erin
O'Connor, Laura Bailey, Noemie Lenoir and Twiggy
as undercover agents on a secret mission to attend
an exclusive DSB performance at a glamorous
Christmas party.
It's difficult to know where to begin when it
comes to describing Dame Shirley's incredible
career which has spanned over 50 years. Having
just celebrated her 70th birthday and a top ten UK
album DSB proves age is no barrier for creating
great music.
The original Welsh Diva and one of Wales' greatest
musical exports, she stands tall alongside fellow
Welsh singers Charlotte Church, Katherine Jenkins,
Tom Jones, Cerys Matthews, Dorothy Squires, Bryn
Terfel and Bonnie Tyler to name but a few.
During her career Shirley has also collaborated
with Swiss band Yello on The Rhythm Divine. She
sang with Chris Rea on his Ferrari inspired film,
La Passione, and probably most famously with The
Propellerheads whose international club hit
History Repeating propelled her into the
spotlight. It featured on the soundtrack to the
movie There's Something About Mary starring Ben
Stiller and Cameron Diaz and was the music behind
a Jaguar car ad.
Shirley is the only singer to have recorded more
than one James Bond Theme. She recorded three!
Applauded by John Barry, Sean Connery and David
Arnold, her hit records Goldfinger and Diamonds
Are Forever ranked as the two best Bond themes
ever in a recent poll, where she comfortably beat
fellow Bond singers such as Tina Turner, Madonna,
Paul McCartney, Matt Monro, Gladys Knight, Sheryl
Crow, Lulu and Sheena Easton to the top spots.
Casino Royale star Daniel Craig recently suggested
DSB should record the next theme - after hearing
The Living Tree you can't help but see he's got a
point!
In recent years Shirley's recording of Diamonds
Are Forever was sampled by hip-hop star Kanye
West.
DSB has performed duets with acts such as Neil
Diamond, Andy Williams, Alain Delon, Michael Ball,
Bryn Terfel, Charles Aznavour, Jack Jones, Robert
Goulet and Eydie Gorme and shared a stage with Ray
Charles and Liza Minnelli on a successful tour.
In an episode of American Idol (the US equivalent
to The X-Factor) contestants Jordin Sparks,
Lakisha Jones and Melinda Doolittle all chose
Shirley Bassey hits to impress judges Simon
Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul. Chris Sligh
said "Shirley Bassey rocks hard core" and
presenter Ryan Seacrest proclaimed that it was
Dame Shirley Bassey songs that ruled the night.
