SONGS FROM THE LAST CENTURY

'''Songs from the Last Century''' is an album of cover versions by singer George Michael and acclaimed producer Phil Ramone, released in December 1999 (see 1999 in music). It consists mainly of old standards, plus new interpretations of more recent popular songs such as "Roxanne" (originally by The Police) and "Miss Sarajevo" (originally by U2 with Luciano Pavarotti). This album is the only in George Michael's entire catalogue to have not reached #1 in the UK charts, peaking at #2. It was knocked-off the top spot by Shania Twain's ''Come on Over''.
