Dame Shirley Bassey, Get the Party Started (Decca)

Dame Shirley Bassey got a renewed lease on musical life when Propellerheads featured her voice on “History Repeating” in 1997, and she’s enjoying interest again because the Arctic Monkeys are fans. She has a new album, Get the Party Started, and the title cut is so diva-riffic it can turn any car, house or iPod into a gay disco. She also sounds more comfortable than Grace Jones ever did in the lushness of “Slave to the Rhythm.”
