About the Shirley Bassey Album, Good, Bad But Beautiful:
Good, Bad but Beautiful is a 1975 album by Shirley Bassey. In the first half of the decade, Bassey recorded nine albums, with three making the top ten. In March 1975, Bassey released a compilation that became her highest-charting album to date, The Shirley Bassey Singles Album (#2), and reflects the momentum Bassey had maintained since her 1970 "comeback". Good, Bad but Beautiful, released in the autumn of 1975, spent seven weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at #13, and earned a silver disc. The album reflects the formula that brought Bassey back to the charts: a combination of contemporary songs combined with her forte of standards, show tunes, and torch songs, featuring arrangements aimed squarely at the adult contemporary, or middle-of-the-road, audience. This was also achieved by modifying her backup orchestra to include electric guitars, a string and brass section with a more contemporary sound, and drumming that is more soft rock-oriented than jazz-oriented, while side two's opener, "Feel Like Makin' Love" displays a smooth jazz style.
LYRICS:
Strollin' in the park
Watchin' winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark
Seein' lovers do their thing
Oo-oo-ooh
That's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true, oh Baby
When you talk to me
When you're moanin' sweet and low
When you're touchin' me
And my feelin's start to show
Oo-oo-ooh
That's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true, oh Baby
In a restaurant
holdin' hands by candlelight
While I'm touchin' you
Wanting you with all my might
Oo-oo-ooh
That's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true, oh Baby
Strollin' in the park
Watchin' winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark
Seein' lovers do their thing
Oo-oo-ooh
That's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
