The Rhythm Divine

"The Rhythm Divine" is a 1987 song written by Boris Blank, Dieter Meier, and Billy Mackenzie and recorded by Yello with Shirley Bassey.

Dieter Meier, of the Swiss Electro-group Yello, approached Shirley Bassey in 1987 regarding a possible collaboration.

This version also appeared in 2003 on the Netherlands album release Het Beste Van Shirley Bassey.

Billy MacKenzie, lead singer of The Associates, who had previously worked with Yello on several occasions, provided lyrics and backing vocals.

A previously unreleased 12" version of the song, featuring Mackenzie on lead vocals, was issued in 1990 on The Associates compilation Popera.
