Sings the Movies is a studio album by Shirley Bassey, released in 1995.
In 1995, Bassey signed a deal with the PolyGram TV label, recording and releasing two albums with the label. The first was Sings the Movies, a themed album of movie songs. The songs were personally selected by Bassey for the album, and are a diverse range of ballads and pop classics; some were originally composed for original soundtracks, but several were classic songs that appeared in successful movies. One re-recording was made for the album: the classic James Bond theme " Goldfinger". This is the fourth studio recording of the song by Bassey.
Several TV performances were made by Bassey to promote the album and British television broadcast a successful commercial campaign. The album sold well across Europe and entered the UK Albums Chart on November 11, 1995 for a run of nine weeks, peaking at No. 24, and earning a gold disc. [1] [2]
No singles were released from the album.
