Shirley Bassey

The only singer to perform multiple theme songs of James Bond movies, Welsh vocalist Shirley Bassey provided the brassy purr heard during the eternally sexy opening credits to DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, MOONRAKER, and, most famously, GOLDFINGER. Her diverse career, which began in the mid-1950s, extended into the new millennium and saw her perform and collaborate with a diverse list of artists including Swiss electro combo Yellow, U.K. techno act the Propellerheads, and singer-songwriter Chris Rea. Bassey is one of England's most beloved pop performers and a bona fide diva worldwide.
