Shirley Bassey, a mixed-race baby, grows up in a poor area of Cardiff with her mother and eight siblings after her father's imprisonment. She begins singing in local clubs to support her family, eventually moving to London at 17 and impressing agent Mike Sullivan. To advance her career, she gives up her illegitimate daughter Sharon to be raised by her sister. Shirley becomes a star in the West End, has hit records, and rides out negative press and a divorce from her agent-turned-husband. Decades later, she remains a legendary performer, still belting out her autobiographical song "My Life".
