In Something, Shirley Bassey makes classics like The Beatles’ Something and Sinatra’s My Way her own, offering powerful, unique interpretations that reinforce her place among music’s greatest voices
Released in 1970, Something is marking a major turning point in Shirley Bassey’s career. The album stands out for its bold mix of pop and rock covers, reflecting the musical evolution of the time.
