Let’s Face the Music is the sixth Shirley Bassey studio album, released in 1962, and arranged by Nelson Riddle. Kenneth Hume, Shirley Bassey’s husband and manager wrote the sleeve notes for this album, in which he gives an insight into how this album came to being: “When Vic Lewis booked Nelson Riddle for a tour with Shirley, we were all very excited; being great fans of Nelson Riddle’s from way back…so when someone suggested them doing an LP together, we thought that this would not be possible, remembering that Nelson was under contract with another recording company.” Nelson Riddle was under contract to Capitol Records at the time, so Bassey’s producer Norman Newell went about to secure his services for an album. While on the tour, Bassey, Riddle, and Bassey’s music director Raymond Long discussed what form the album should take. Shortly after the tour was completed, the recording sessions began.
