In 1963 Bassey signed her first professional contract to sing in a touring variety show " Memories Of Al Jolson" a musical based on the life of Al Jolson. She next took up a professional engagement in Hot From Harlem which ran until 1954. By this time Bassey had become pregnant at 16 years with her elder daughter Sharon - the father has not been identified so she went back on waiting tables. But she would rise again to become an international star with millions of records sales and a Dame from the Queen of England for her life long singing.
