Shirley Bassey TV Special “Somewhere” (There’s A Place For Us) 1966 [Remastered TV Audio]

Another power ballad from Shirley “Somewhere” was written in 1957 by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim for the musical “West Side Story”.

A masterclass in how to deliver powerful raw emotion without over-singing the notes or over-dramatising the lyric - because she knows it’s already all there in the writing. Brilliant.

So wish that the video of this performance was of better quality. I know it exists in the BBC archives, as recent BBC special have featured other songs from this show. One of the best early DSB performances and one of the best renditions of this song ever recorded.
