Shirley Bassey/Yello - "The Rhythm Divine" - ORIGINAL VIDEO - stereo HQ

Another '80s band/'60s artist collaboration. This time, the fabulous Shirley gives it large with dour Swiss performance artists, Yello. The song grows on you - and the VIDEO is a PEACH!

[Footnote: I just saw Shirley NOW, LIVE (on VT, from 2 years ago) and at 73, she was STILL magnificent - not a note missed, not a phrase phoned in. Power and style UTTERLY undiminished. I'm only 59 and I can't get out of a CHAIR quickly.]

[Another footnote: When Shirley did the SINGLE version of Goldfinger, she held the last note FOREVER - when Tom Jones tried the same thing next year, with Thunderball - he FAINTED!]
