1990 (Veteran vocalist Shirley Bassey performs a beautiful song written by Don McLean titled, 'And I Love You So' - Performed during a 1990 concert in Yokohama Japan. This song is a favorite of Bassey's, and she has included it in her concert song line-up for many decades. In the clip Shirley said this song was one of her first hits, but here she made a slight mistake. Shirley's cover of McLean's song was included on her LP of the same name, and this entire LP was a top 20 hit for Shirley; it remained on the charts for 9 weeks. Shirley's first high ranking chart success single, Banana Boat Song, was released back in 1957, and there were many other single hits in between the late 50's and early 70's. When you have recorded so many songs, and have so many hits to your credit, I would imagine it would be easy to get them mixed up.

LYRICS:
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you loved me too
Your'e thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is there
That is my believe
And yes, I know How loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them
I don't know
