  • Shirley Bassey (Here is a beautiful track from Shirley Bassey as recorded and released on her 1975 LP titled, 'Shirley - Good, Bad, But Beautiful. Most will recognize this as one of Stevie Wonder's songs. This song was included on his LP titled, Innervisions. This LP was the 16th studio album by Wonder, released August 3, 1973.
    ABOUT the LP, 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. 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:
    All is fair in love
    Love's a crazy game
    Two people vow to stay
    In love as one they say
    But all is changed with time
    The future no one can see
    The road you leave behind
    Ahead lies mystery
    But all is fair in love
    I had to go away
    A writer takes his pen
    To write the words again
    That all in love is fair
    All of fate's a chance
    It's either good or bad
    I tossed my coin to say
    In love with me you'd stay
    But all in war is so cold
    You either win or lose
    When all is put away
    The loosing side I'll play
    But all is fair in love
    I should never have left your side
    A writer takes his pen
    To write the words again
    That all in love is fair
    A writer takes his pen
    To write the words again
    That all in love is fair
