👍 awesome! Right of the good times in the 80s!

[@retrosound72]

thank you!

[@clarenceblinten8860]

2024 and i stil love this song!❤

[@frazerx01]

I, deliberately or not (99% not, like all of us :D), heard this song countless times since it came out (not consciously but close) and George Michael's voice is one of a kind, always liked hearing him. What i never ever witnessed was an instrumental version. It's about time, thank you very much! Absolutely superb 🎹🎆🎄

[@retrosound72]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙌🎹

[@RobinPalmerTV]

Rest in forever peace George ❤❤❤

[@retrosound72]

yes RIP

[@flatlandcircuitry]

This is how it’s done folks.👏👏👏

[@retrosound72]

Thank you 🎹🙌

[@josephfrye7342]

Yes it’s the pudding mix and excellent

[@retrosound72]

Thanks a lot :))

[@DX5]

Perfect sound arrangement and playing. Specially The JUNO does the job 100%

[@retrosound72]

Thank you so much Jose 🎹🙌🎹

[@atarkus8]

It's possible the original synth was a Juno 60 (supposedly used on "everything she wants" at least) so makes sense that a 106 could cover that territory :)

[@dxutube]

I thought it was the Jupiter 8

[@mima85]

@@atarkus8 Yes it was. Also the "bell" sound originally comes from a Juno 60.

[@michaelmitchell8218]

Fantastic, excellent version you done of this song. Just to think it was 40 years ago and I remember this in the charts. The days I would watch top of the pops on tv and look at all the synths that groups was using lol. The DX7, Jupiter 8 and the juno 106 use to be the popular guess on music shows. Anyway great job you done here and just love seeing all this equipment making good classic tunes. Thanks for sharing and love your channel and appreciate what you do.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for your feedback Michael. A real classic. It's still played very often on the radio here in Germany. All December long, actually. :D I like the song. It always puts me in a good mood and a good mood is important at this time of year. I wish you a nice weekend

[@lairdtomfrenchelectromusic2545]

It smells like Christmas and the 80s! What more could you ask for? Majestic interpretation ! :)

[@retrosound72]

Thank you so much für your wonderful feedback :)

[@dennisbaumann8868]

Last christmas, i gave you my heart...

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Wow, I was four when Wham! recorded this song. I didn’t first hear it until nearly 10 years later, and I didn’t know it was the B-side of “Everything She Wants”, but I always liked it. The cool thing about your cover, RS, is a combination of how well you played and that you had some of the same synths (and drum machines) that George and Andrew utilized in ‘84.

[@retrosound72]

A great classic and the chords are simply fantastic. Thank you for your time and the wonderful feedback. I really appreciate it.🙌✨❄️

[@sawsquaresinetube]

Listening to this in my WHAM t-shirt 😂👏🏼

Definitely a good Christmas song and also works like this as an instrumental version :)

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for your feedback

[@paradoxstate5018]

Great rendition :) I always thought the pad was done on a Juno 60, but I guess it could have been done on the 106. memories :)

[@retrosound72]

The JU106 Thank you 🎹

[@josteinatlejrgensen6962]

I still have a Roland SH-101 . Very fun too see you use it ,still it has just one finger play.

[@retrosound72]

yes monophonic. a great bass synth

[@vaiman7777]

As a young metal fan I hated this song with every fibre of my being. Here I am years later watching how it was done 😂

[@retrosound72]

Haha yes that is the magic 😅👍

[@pronzac]

Wow super wow!

only complete :)

[@CaptainMocktail]

This is the one we've all been waiting for. And as much I hate this song I can't deny it's a four chord melodic masterpiece.

[@retrosound72]

Its a real classic for sure :)

[@christophercassel1001]

Ich denke dieser Song wird noch gefühlt in 100 Jahren gespielt werden. Die Qualität dazu hat er… genau wie dein Cover. Aber das nächste Mal dann bitte mit Gesang und Weihnachtsmütze performen🤓🎅🏻😊

[@retrosound72]

Haha. Ich lass immer so viel Raum, dass ihr dazu singen könnt. 😁 Da bin ich Kumpel 😅 Du hast natürlich Recht. Ein wunderbarer Klassiker. Kann man sich nicht überhören. Finde ich. Danke dir fürs reinschauen 🙌✨

As much as i hate to listen to all 15xmass songs for 3months every year. Merry Xmass my friend. 😋🤘

[@XHALE303]

@@retrosound72 Yeah i was already afraid of that. 😅

[@MacXpert74]

Nice job again! I was a little surprised you didn't use your DX7 and Linndrum on this. They're quite dominant on the original track.

[@retrosound72]

yes a bit different here in sound and arrangement. I love to experiment. Thank you for your feedback :)

[@MacXpert74]

@@retrosound72 All good, I also liked the PPG as a replacement!

[@karllittler2647]

Those vintage Juno 106 strings sound amazing even thru my crappy smartphone speaker. I attempted to copy this patch on my Boutique JU06A but these synths sound far superior

[@retrosound72]

Thank you 🙌🎹

Ах.., новогднее настроение. Что интересно, эта песня писалась изначально именно к Новому Году (текст был соответствующий), а не к Рождеству.

В Германии эту песню повторяют по радио каждый час до 24 декабря. Затем она снова начнет звучать 1 адвента и так далее.

@retrosound72 Yamaha turned the track into cheese back in the late 80's when they used it as a demo tune for some of it's toy keyboards, SHS-10 being one of them. It tainted the original forever,. 😂 You can thank KZbin for bringing this to my attention lol, it's AI offered me this from watching "How we made Micheal Jackson's Thriller". 😉
