SHIRLEY BASSEY + BETTE MIDLER + CARPENTERS ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW NOVEMBER 17TH 2014.

SHIRLEY BASSEY.....NEW ALBUM.
Tracks played...
Diamonds are a girl's best friend ( with Paloma Faith) / I'm still here / Englishman in New York.

This new thirteen tracks album is unusual in that it looks back on mature melodies and reminds one
of a final album excursion. I hope not. Miss Bassey's voice is as strong as ever proved by her
inclusion of "Goldfinger" and "Mc Arthur's park". Nobody leaves a cake out in the rain when
Bassey records a new album and the orchestra behind her proves there is probably still more
music from a female legend to come. ****.

BETTE MIDLER.....IT'S THE GIRLS.
Tracks played... Be my baby / Give him a great big kiss / One fine day / Tell him / Too many
fish in the sea / You can't hurry love.

Bette Midler singing the old girl group oldies at frenetic party pace. Good value here is she
sweeps through 14 or so great tracks and only slows down a couple of times to impessive
effect. This year's Christmas Party album.****.

CARPENTERS CHRISTMAS COLLECTION.(2CDS)   A&M RECORDS.

12 TRACKS PLAYED  from a two hour package of pure delight. As background on
Christmas morning....excellant idea.....in fact anytime over the festive season this album
stands out as one of the best balanced Christmas treat you could ever hope to own.
Buy it !!!  *****.

MICHAEL BALL'S NEW ALBUM...
