Description

1965 - After great success with the James Bond classic, Goldfinger, Shirley was constantly being asked to record songs of a similar genre. As Shirley wanted to be known as an international singer who could sing all genre of songs, she said yes to only a few of them. This song is from the Soundtrack to the 1965 movie, 'The Liquidator'. It's interesting, but with only a few of this genre of songs to her credit amongst nearly 800 recordings, this is the genre that most listeners outside of the UK recognize as Shirley's style of music. But, when avid music lovers take the time to listen to all of the songs that I have uploaded, they then understand that Ms. Bassey is simply THE VOICE and she can sing the phone book, and make it GREAT!

ABOUT The Movie, "The Liquidator'
The Liquidator is a 1965 British thriller film starring Rod Taylor as Brian "Boysie" Oakes, Trevor Howard, and Jill St. John. It was based on the first of a series of Boysie Oakes novels by John Gardner, The Liquidator. The film follows the 1964 novel closely. Due to a legal dispute, the film's original November 1965 release was delayed to the end of 1966, by which time the spy film craze was waning.

In 1944 during World War II, tank corps Sergeant "Boysie" Oakes (Rod Taylor) stumbles and unwittingly shoots and kills two men attempting to assassinate British Intelligence Major Mostyn (Trevor Howard) in Paris. Mostyn mistakenly believes Oakes was lethal on purpose.
Twenty years later, Mostyn (now a colonel in British Intelligence) and his boss (Wilfred Hyde-White) are in trouble due to a series of embarrassing security disasters. To save his job, the chief orders Mostyn to hire an assassin to illegally eliminate security leaks without official authorisation. Mostyn recruits Boysie into the Secret Service without first telling him what his employment will entail, luring him in with a lavish apartment and a fancy car. After Boysie passes a training course, Mostyn informs him that his code name is "L", and that it stands for liquidator. Unable to resign and not a killer himself, Boysie secretly hires a freelance professional assassin (Eric Sykes) to do the dirty work.

Things go well until Oakes persuades Mostyn's secretary Iris (Jill St. John) to spend the weekend with him on the Côte d'Azur, though Mostyn has warned him that any contact between spies and civilian employees is a serious criminal offence. Boysie is captured by enemy agents led by Sheriek (Akim Tamiroff), who firmly believes he is on assignment and wants to know who the target is. However, Sheriek's superior, Chekhov (John Le Mesurier), is coldly furious that he has gone beyond his orders to merely watch Boysie, thus endangering a much more important operation. He has Sheriek arrange for Boysie to escape.

LYRICS:
The liquidator
Will soon be coming around
You won't feel safer
Until you get out of town

He's an eraser
He'll rub you out like a light
And for a chaser
He'll kiss your woman goodnight

He's a jackal and a Romeo, you know
The devil in disguise
There's no telling where a girl would go, you know
To gaze into his eyes

With the snapping of the fingertips of him
He'll take your life away
And a whisper from the smiling lips of him
Will take your wife away

The liquidator
Will soon be getting to you
You'll wake up later
Somewhere up in the blue

The undertaker
Would never try to deny
That the liquidator
Is a hell of a guy

The liquidator
