1963-2009 (John Barry Medley - A Tribute to a Great Composer). OUR TIME IS NOW is the last song that John Barry wrote for Dame Shirley Bassey, and he composed it for her 2009 CD titled, 'The Performance'
Message From Dame Shirley Bassey:
"I was very sorry to hear of the death of my old friend John Barry, who was responsible for me singing the Bond songs Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever and Moonraker. He most recently wrote a song for my latest CD The Performance -- it was a beautiful ballad, Our Time Is Now. The world has lost a most gifted man. My thoughts and my prayers are with his family"
This clip includes twelve songs which John Barry was either sole, or co-composer/writer, and they are just a small example of the wonderful songs he wrote. John collaborated with some of the best in the industry, including Leslie Bricusse, Anthony Newley, Don Black, Tim Rice, Hal David and many others.
The first song on this clip, Our Time Is Now, is the last song that John Barry wrote for Dame Shirley Bassey, and this track was included on her 2009 CD titled, 'The Performance.' It is a beautiful song and clearly shows the Barry and Bassey collaborative team, both in their 70's, are simply the best!
Some of these tracks sung by Bassey are extremely rare as only a few copies of the CD were released before she had the producers take the product off the market. Shirley, the perfectionist, was not happy with the electronic musical accompanyment, but I'm sure under these circumstances as a tribute she would not quibble when they are included in the form of a tribute medley to her good friend, John Barry. What also is crystal clear is that Bassey's huge, brassy, sassy, booming voice shines through regardless of any lack of good orchestrations anyway. And, when one of the greatest composers of the last 60 years meets one of the greatest vocalists of the last 60 years, it's a musical collaborative match made in heaven!
