Just thought I'd say how cool it is to see Shirley Bassey a new entry in the 'official' singles chart. Wonderful singer.
From her first hit ("Banana Boat Song", w/e 15th Feb 1957) to her latest ("The Living Tree", w/e 5th May 2007), Shirley Bassey's chart career has spanned 50 years, 2 months and 18 days [2620 weeks]. She, thus, became the first artist to have a career of hits spanning more than 50 years.
There's also Henri Salvador in France, a true old school performer that sings, writes, used to tap dance, acts, charms, etc etc.
The Wikipedia entry below doesn't do him justice. His first hit was in 1956. They just don't make 'em like him and Bassey any more.
