With all the recent publicity concerning the new album, I wondered whether anyone else had noticed that Shirley's complete performance as top of the bill at the 1976 Royal Variety has recently turned up on Youtube in HD. She sang 5 numbers, Till Love touches your Life, What I Did For Love, Bye Bye Blackbird, Send in the Clowns and My Way. It was broadcast live and Shirley's performance was perhaps slightly less dramatic and barnstorming than she can be, but was certainly very professional and classy. With 2 top twenty albums that year and her first series on the BBC, this is an artist at the peak of her powers, and certainly worth watching.
