Born in 1937 in Tiger Bay, Cardiff, Dame Shirley toured theatres and revues until she signed a record deal with Philips and scored the number one hit As I Love You in 1959.
By the 1960s, she was an international star with numerous hit albums.
Some of her greatest work was with film composer John Barry, creating the James Bond themes Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever and Moonraker which became her signature songs.
