Welsh star DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY still gets "goosebumps" when she recalls her first meeting with ELVIS PRESLEY - as he tore off her clothes and drew all over her naked skin. The 69-year-old GOLDFINGER singer visited the rocker while passing through Las Vegas and she was shocked when, in a fit of creativity, he undid her buttoned outfit and got busy with the nearest pen. She says, "I went to see him in Las Vegas and I had one of those jumpsuits on. "He unbuttoned it and started doodling on my skin. I still get goosebumps talking about it. "When I looked in the mirror, there were all these crazy drawings on me."

This is not being reported correctly as that is not the way it occurred.
Shirley did visit Elvis, and this took place in a room full of other people.
Shirley was wearing a full length dress that had three circles cut out in the
design of it, down her front. Elvis took a pen and he doodled in the three
circles. She kept her dress on at all times. But she got goosebumps from Elvis
doodling on her. Anybody else doing this would have been sleazy, but Elvis kept
it decent.
Shirley Bassey related this story in the British tv programme "An Audience with
Shirley Bassey", and I have videoed it.
