From the 1980 concert in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Part 2 of 6. New York New York (from the album: All by myself) & Time After Time (from the album: Yesterdays). Lyrics New York Medley: Start spreading the news I'm leaving today I wanna be a part of it New York, New York These vagabond shoes Are longing to stray And step around the heart of it New York, New York If I can make it there I'd make it anywhere It's up to you New York, New York New York, New York So good they named it twice New York, New York All the scandal and the vice I love it! New York, New York Now isn't it a pity What they say about New York City New York, New York So good they named it twice New York, New York All the scandal and the vice I love it! New York, New York Now isn't it a pity What they say about New York City My little town blues Are longing to stray I wanna be a part of it New York, New York If I can make it there I'd make it anywhere It's up to you New York, New York (Transcribed by Roman) Lyrics Time after time: Time after time, I tell myself that I'm So lucky to be loving you. So lucky to be The one you run to see In the evening when the day is through. I only know, what I know, The passing years will show, You kept my love so warm, So new, Time after time, You'll hear me say that I'm So lucky to be loving you. And time after time, You'll hear me say that I'm So lucky to be loving you. (transcribed by Pieter Daane-Martina) About the dress Dame Shirley is wearing for this show: Goldfinger - a sensational stage ensemble by Douglas Darnell comprising: a bias cut gown with fitted bodice, the flesh-coloured silk chiffon ground lavishly embroidered with graduated Swarovski clear crystals, gold sequins and gold pearl beads in bands radiating from an apex at the upper bodice, slit centrally to the upper leg, the flowing train lined in gold silk tissue and terminating in a large tassel of clear crystals, rhinestones, gold pearl beads and mirror sequins; and a corresponding voluminous sleeveless coat of silver silk chiffon decorated with bands of silver lurex edged with silver tinsel fringing and embroidered with gold and silver sequins, the coat further embellished at the opening, armholes and collar with gold and silver mirror sequins, imitation pearls and gold beads, lined in gold silk tissue. Weight of gown: approx. 4kg. Although this gown is not the first one worn by Dame Shirley to sing the theme song to the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, her first international hit, it is the one which she particularly associates with the Bond song. This gown was made in the late 1970s and according to Darnell, was first worn for a concert at the Wembley Conference Centre attended by HRH Prince Charles, 14th November, 1979. The stage coat in this lot however does date from the early 1960s, and was occasionally worn with the first Goldfinger dress. Dame Shirley wore the original dress and this stage coat together during a twelve-day engagement at the Empire Room, New York, October, 1967. Sold at Christies for £18,000
