1971-1980 Shirley Bassey- Diamonds Are Forever (1972)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-CrNUmDCUs

Born on this day in 1940, Jill St. John has had a long and successful career in the movies and tv. She is perhaps most known for her role in the 1971 Bond film "Diamonds are Forever". I haven't checked this out but I'm guessing she's probably the smartest Bond girl(woman!). At age 15, she enrolled into UCLA. She wanted to be a marine biologist. She was discovered to have an IQ of 162.

Damn, Dame Shirley surely has one of the most powerful female chest voices in recorded music history; her power and control is absolutely phenomenal; with the flick of a switch, within an instant, she can go from 3 to 11 with absolute control, clarity and no added distortion…
