Video Flagged Dead

Propellerheads & Shirley Bassey - History Repeating

submitted by benjee

1 decade 7 years 9 months 2 weeks ago

The Propellerheads, England's big beat purveyors & remixing extraordinaires (from Bath) released this 1997 single on the Wall of Sound label. When Shirley Bassey (at the age of 60) was approached by the Propellerheads to do 'History Repeating', she initially turned them down and suggested that they give the song to Tina Turner. However they insisted that the song was written and arranged for her, and Bassey finally agreed to record it. It was part of the 'There's Something About Mary' soundtrack and was also used in a Jaguar advert.
