The
Shirley Bassey Singles Album is a compilation album released in 1975 by British singer Shirley Bassey.
Having seen a sales dip in the latter half of the 1960s,
Shirley Bassey enjoyed a successful comeback in the 1970s, beginning with the
single and album hits, "Something". This
continued over the next few years with several high-selling albums and in 1975,
her record label United Artists,
released a collection of songs taken from this period, plus "Big Spender"
and "If You Go Away"
(which were featured on a 1960s album that had been re-released and a hit in
1971). The Shirley Bassey Singles Album was an immediate hit, going gold a
month after its release, and peaking at No.2 in the UK - her highest charting
album - during a 24-week run. The album included the top 10 singles "Something", "For All We Know" and "Never
Never Never" as well as featuring the
hits "Fool
on the Hill" and "Diamonds are Forever", which had not
featured on any of her
albums up to this point.
This album was first released on CD in 1988 with bonus
tracks and retitled as Shirley Bassey The Singles.
When the world was a little younger
Fairytales
were always true
Every
face was filled with laughter
Every
day brought something new
Summertime
seemed to last forever
Friends
would come and friends would go
But
their warmth would always linger
In
the days when time ran slow
Make
the world was a little younger
Let
the laughter in
Yesterday
was filled with magic
Bring
it back again
Make
the world a little younger
Wear
a happy face
When
the world's a little younger
Life's
a brighter place
When
the world was a little younger
Love
was just a smile away
There
was time for going fishing
And
the games we used to play
Make
the world was a little younger
Let
the laughter in
Yesterday
was filled with magic
Bring
it back again
