Can't believe Something isn't on the list. Ah well...
Personally I’d swap the top two over…
And - just because I’m pedantic ☺️ in the image used in that piece…
It’s lists Alvin Stardust…when it’s actually Shane Fenton…well, it’s actually Bernard Jewry 🤪
Bernard didn’t use Alvin Stardust as his stage name until the 1970’s 🤗
I'll have to check out some of those - but I'd have put Almost There and After The Rain right up there. What about I am What I am? Not sure there's been a definitive Shirley Bassey Greatest Hits, has there.
Roger Moore 1927-2017
I agree with @chrisno1 that 'Something' should be on the list. I think it's right that 'Diamonds Are Forever' pips 'Goldfinger' to the post and find it sad that Dame Shirley herself disliked 'Moonraker'. The Guardian review of 'Diamonds Are Forever' is spot on.
