Song Uno: From here to Eternity

Goldfinger | Shirley Bassey


Jimmy Page played guitar on this session, which took place at Abbey Road Studio One in London in August 1964. He recalled,
"The full orchestra sounded absolutely amazing, but then Shirley Bassey arrived. She arrived with a friend, was very quiet and then was asked to come out and sing. And it took her just one take. And at the end of the tape, she collapsed on the floor … she just held this one note and she basically ran out of breath and collapsed. You know how dramatic she is usually, what with all the stuff she does with her hands, but this was even more dramatic – and I was in the front row of the musicians, so I really had a good view of all of this."
