1976: This song was recorded on Shirley's 1967, "And We Were Lovers" Album. Jacques Brel wrote the original musical score and French Lyrics; Rod McKuen wrote the English Lyrics, and in my opinion, of all the artists who have recorded this song in English, Shirley Bassey's rendition is the absolute best! Thank-You Jacques Brel for writing such a beautiful melody!

Attention YouTubers: My Grandy Mary will turn 108 years old on Sept. 5th. This song by Shirley is one of her all-time favorites.

She is a very classy singer, amazing voice. but i heard another version of this song which neither I know by whom is sung nor I can find it on youtube. Many versions available but none of them is what I'm looking for.

What is up with people who MUST make negative comments on a singer with the kind of talent that makes life that much more beautiful?? She's an amazing singer - period. There's enough negativity in this world as it is. Let's just all enjoy her blessed gift shall we? Shirley Bassey haters - this is not the site for you.P.S: Scot90230 Many thanks over for the postings. I've had many wonderful evenings listening to her songs with my family. Cheers and God bless!

Nice interpretation by Bassey but a mile away from Brels gritty original song

You're right. I will pay more attention from now on. Thank you. I was just disturbed that Rod said he wrote it.

I've uploaded 2 other magnificent versions of this beautiful song, by jazz great, Shirley Horn & Motown legend, Kim Weston.
