  • I Am What I Am est le vingt sixième album studio de Shirley Bassey, sorti en 1984. Il est classé no 25 au UK Albums Chart et remporte un disque d'Or, le premier de la carrière de la chanteuse (hormis compilations), avec plus de 100 000 exemplaires vendus. L'album, enregistré avec l'Orchestre symphonique de Londres sous la direction de Carl Davis, ne contient que deux nouvelles chansons : la chanson-titre , extraite de la comédie musicale La Cage aux folles de Jerry Herman et Harvey Fierstein qui avait remporté six Tony Awards l'année précédente et était devenue un tube de Gloria Gaynor ; et , un hit de la même année de Julio Iglesias. Le reste de I Am What I Am contient des reprises d'anciens succès de Bassey. L'album, enregistré sur l'éphémère label britannique Towerbell Records (1980-1985), ne sort pas aux États-Unis. Aucun des deux singles (TOW60, avec As Long as He Needs Me en face B) et (TOW62, avec en face B) n'entre au hit-parade. I Am What I Am sort en 33 tours, cassette audio et disque compact, puis est réédité de nombreuses fois. (fr)
