Shirley Bassey - Till Love Touches Your Life (1973 TV Special)

REMASTERED CLIP - 1973 - All About Shirley TV Special)

Shirley recorded and released this song on her 1971 LP titled, 'Shirley Bassey - Something Else'

ABOUT this song:
Music by Riz Ortolani; Lyrics by Arthur Hamilton
'Till Love Touches Your Life' was an Academy Award Nominee for Best Song. It was the theme song for the Picture "Madron" in 1969. The movie title was also known as, 'His Name Was Madron' (1970, Great Britain).

ABOUT the Movie:
US (1970): Western
Sister Mary (Leslie Caron) is a nun who enlists the help of Madron (Richard Boone) after she is the only survivor of an Apache massacre. A trio of lecherous bandits try to force themselves on the nun, and Madron shoots two of them to death. The third is made to swear allegiance to Sister Mary in exchange for his life. The Apaches trap the trio and Madron comforts the crying nun, who emerges the next morning sans her religious habit. This is supposedly the first movie filmed in Israel without an Israeli theme. Smoke signals are obviously added in the post-production process, drawing unintentional laughter for this violent and forgettable film. (Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide)

Well, the film was forgettable, but not the song which Shirley belts out so easily with powerful gusto!

This song was recorded and released on Shirley's 1972 LP titled, 'Shirley Bassey - Something Else'

LYRICS:
Till love touches your life
You drift and you wander, and you roam
Through towns
And lives of strangers

Till love touches your life
Your heart doesn't ever feel at home
You fight, the world
And tell yourself you're happy
But, when love touches your life
You learn what it's really like to live

Oh, the feel, of home
The learning how to give
The need never to part
The warmth there in your heart
When love gently reaches out
And touches your life

When Love touches your life

Oh, the feel, of home
The learning how to give
The need never to part
The warmth there in your heart
When love gently reaches out
And touches your life

When love touches your life

Your life
Your life
Your life
Your life
Your life.......
