Показать описание
2005 (Shirley Bassey delivers two wonderful covers of two great songs. The first song, 'I'm Still Here' is an abreviated version from the musical, 'Follies'. The second song, 'You Needed Me' is a country/pop classic which was a huge hit for the wonderful songstress, 'Anne Murray'. From Audience With Shirley TV Special 2)
ABOUT the Musical, "Follies"
Follies is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Goldman. Many considered it to be one of the greatest musicals ever written and produced. The story concerns a reunion in a crumbling Broadway theatre, scheduled for demolition, of the past performers of the "Weismann's Follies," a musical revue (based on the Ziegfeld Follies), that played in that theatre between the World Wars.
The Broadway production opened on April 4, 1971, directed by Harold Prince and Michael Bennett, and with choreography by Bennett. The musical was nominated for eleven Tony Awards and won seven. The original production, which ultimately lost money, ran for 522 performances. Nevertheless, the piece has enjoyed a number of major revivals, and several of its songs have become standards, including "Broadway Baby," "I'm Still Here," "Too Many Mornings," "Could I Leave You?" and "Losing My Mind".
LYRICS (As Shirley sing the song):
Good times and bad times,
I've seen them all and, my dear,
I'm still here.
Plush velvet sometimes,
Sometimes just crisps and beer,
And I'm here.
I've stuffed the dailies In my shoes.
Strummed ukuleles,
Sung the blues,
Seen all my dreams disappear,
And I'm here.
I've been to Reno,
I've been through Beverly Hills,
And I'm here,
Plenty of vino,
rest cures, religion and pills,
And I'm here,
I had my moments with the best,
watched while the headlines did the rest,
I should have gone to a different school,
That's seems clear.
I met a big financier,
And I'm here.
I listened to: 'Hey, lady aren't you?
What's her name?
Wow, what a looker you were.
Or better yet, didn't you used to be?
What's here name?
What ever happened to her?'
Ha, ha. Black sabel one day,
Next day it all disappears,
And I'm here,
Top billing Monday,
Tuesday you lived you worst fears,
And I'm here,
I've run the gammet from A to Z,
Three cheers and damm it, c'est la vie,
I've got through all of last year,
And I'm here,
Lord knows at least I was there,
Now I'm here,
Look who's here,
I'm still here.
LYRICS (You Needed Me):
I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me.
You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me
And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave
I'd be a fool
'Cause I've finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend
You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me
You needed me
