Let's Face the Music is the sixth Shirley Bassey studio album, released in 1962 and arranged by Nelson Riddle.

[1] 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 be: "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.

"[2] 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.

[2] This album was issued in the US as Shirley Bassey Sings The Hit Song From "Oliver!"

The album entered the U.K. album chart in December 1962 and spent seven weeks on the charts peaking at #12 [3] and was re-issued in 1971 as What Now My Love on the EMI Music For Pleasure (MFP) label, when it peaked at number 17 in a five-week run.
