Songs from the Last Century is the fourth studio album by the English singer-songwriter George Michael, released on 13 December 1999 by Aegean and Virgin Records. Produced by Phil Ramone and George Michael himself, it was his only album of cover versions. It consists mainly of old jazz standards, plus new interpretations of more recent popular songs, such as "Roxanne" (originally by The Police) and "Miss Sarajevo" (originally by U2 and Brian Eno with Luciano Pavarotti). "Roxanne" was released as a single in other countries except the United Kingdom.

History

This album is the only album in Michael's entire solo catalogue to have not yet reached number one in the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number two instead. It was kept off of the top spot by Shania Twain's Come on Over.

A music video for "Roxanne" was shot in Amsterdam, in the so-called Red District, using ordinary people, not actors, who really live their lives on the street.

Another version exists of the album's opening track, "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?", sung by Michael with Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti at one of his famous "Pavarotti and Friends" live shows. This version is included on the limited edition of Michael's 2006 greatest hits album, Twenty Five.
