Any Shirley Bassey Fans out there?

Just seen the news that Shirley is making a good recovery in hospital after an emergency stomach operation.
Get well Shirl.

I was surprised to see about Dame Shirley and her emergency op---it sounds as though she is doing well, so let us all hope it was nothing too serious.

[Gray]

Yes, let's hope she makes a full recovery soon.

Wishing Dame Shirley a speedy recovery.

Dame Shirley will be bombarded by our cards and letters soon to wish her a speedy recovery!

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Shirley has now been discharged and returned home.

That is excellent news.

[Marian]

From what I read yesterday, she didn't actually have an operation, just a minor procedure to relieve abdominal discomfort.
I think I can guess what that might have been!

Wow Terence, thanks for the posting and the info on Shirl, we'll be watching on Wednesday.
Just viewed the blog.
We have the" Live At The Talk Of The Town" album.
By the way Terence we saw your posting on Dot Squires web-site. They were thrilled that someone living so far away had contributed

Hi Lena and Harry

Dorothy Squires's artistry has always fascinated me and it is a shame she is not well known in my country. I wish DVDs of her concerts are available for commercial sale so that more people can appreciate her.

'Goldfinger' was played by Richard Allinson on this morning's Radio 2 breakfast show.
Cracking song, isn't it?

Let hope we get Matt tomorrow as Richard will be playing a Bond theme each morning around 7.15 am.

Hi Terence, although to some, Dot was not the best singer in the world but she had stage presence and warmth that led to her having an army of loyal fans. In fact she was the highest paid singer and entertainer in the post war years and in the Forties. Eric Hall adores her recordings and rarely leaves her out of his Sunday shows.
Gray, that song Goldfinger can only be associated with one singer can't it. Matt is bound to be played. We'll listen in.
