[@HeavyTopspin]

"Faith" is the song you've got to hear, I think it would appeal to both of you. As for being a ladies' man, well... when you're that attractive, they're going to market you to young girls and play up the manly good looks. Fortunately later in life (or perhaps unfortunately, given the circumstances leading up to it) he was able to come out and publicly stand up for a cause he believed in. Was also a generous philanthropist throughout his career, most of it done privately without the need to broadcast it to the world.

in 1984 this single was massive.....probably one of the biggest singles of the 80's. he came from the band WHAM who were also massive between 83-86. this single was sooooo different to anything else on the charts at the time and so different from anything he did with WHAM it was so mature musically and lyrically. he defiantly was a lady's man back then but he also was understandably hiding the fact that he was gay. in 1986 WHAM broke up and in 1988 he became one of the biggest solo acts on the planet and became one of the greatest singer songwriters of our generation

I accept there are multiple universes - I’m ok that in your world you hold “Kissing A Fool” on a pedestal … - that it is judged to be better than all three of the songs I’ve listed is debatable … but I haven’t left the floor open in my top 3 for a debate about “your” favourite GM song.

I was so in love with George back in the 80s. He really was a beautiful man, and as others have mentioned, took care of his friends without any acknowledgement. George gave co-writer credits to his Wham partner, Andrew Ridgeley, so he would never have financial problems. RIP George

[@ronpotts6385]

"Careless Whisper" was technically a Wham! song, not a solo song. His first HUGE solo hit, from his first solo album from 1987, is "Faith". The video connected especially with young women, since George does a lot of Elvis Presley-like butt-shaking in the video. The "ladies' man" comments were interesting, because while the perfect hair, facial stubble, and striking Greek features drove the ladies wild, George Michael kept the fact that he was gay a secret for a very long time. He was outed by the British tabloid press in a very vicious way in the early 90s, following an arrest for "lewd behavior" in a public restroom. Nevertheless, he remains a G.O.A.T., taking a place with M.J., Prince, and Madonna as 80s pop royalty. RIP.

[@brandyroseann]

He was also outed by Actress Brooke shields after they dated.

[@jonasfermefors]

It's both.. it was made for the album Make It Big in 1984 and was the second single off that album but the single was released under the artist George Michael and not Wham! which is a bit strange. George wrote the music and his band partner Andrew Ridgeley wrote the lyrics.

[@eileenwallis]

George started out as part of a duo called "Wham!" that were very fun and pop-y. Later they split and he went solo. Personally, I think he was one of the most talented singers/artists/songwriters, and never really got the recognition that he deserved, and he was gone too soon. His first solo album, "Faith," was a huge hit. He apparently found that the crazy fame and success didn't make him happy, and on his next album, "Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1," he wanted to be taken more seriously and not just as a pretty boy in tight jeans and a leather jacket that all the young girls screamed for. There are so many great songs to choose from. From the first album, I'd suggest "I Want Your Sex" (because it caused a bit of trouble with some conservative radio stations) and the title song "Faith." From the second album, I'd say "Freedom 90" (which talks about his realizations about fame and the music industry) and "Praying For Time." I also love "A Different Corner" which is actually a Wham! track. RIP George. You are missed.

It's an entirely original sax riff - though probably one of the only ones that's as recognisable and iconic as the one from "Baker Street". Both have been played everywhere for decades though (and were only released about 6 years apart) so maybe it's understandable you got them confused! :D George is widely regarded as one of the greatest solo artists of the late 20th century. He was good friends with Elton John and Freddie Mercury, and Prince thought very highly of him. Many of his early hits as part of the duo Wham! are also excellent

IMO his performance of "somebody to love" he did with queen at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert is one of his best vocal performances ever!

[@MrPaistepete]

This! Find it. React to it.

[@garygardner5655]

I Agree.

[@chriskwakernaat2328]

yep. it blew every other performer away.

[@noelworkman87]

It was mate... I was there.. Standout performance that night 😎

[@Lumibear.]

Yep, it was so good it made everyone else who turned out look like they were amateurs.

[@oobrocks]

George has a million great songs ..i adore him

[@SuperStrik9]

George was a great singer. His version of Elton John's song Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me is awesome. Great version of it from Live Aid where Elton and George play it together.

[@hotrod7868]

Please Do some Hall & Oates --She’s Gone, Sara Smile, Maneater etc etc prob the best duo ever

[@KTBroadcasting]

We lost something special when we lost him. #RIPGeorgeMichael. He (and they - when he was in Wham) has lots of songs to choose from, but I think his less popular music was some of his best...Like Kissing A Fool. This one, however, remains my favorite. I instantly go into a mental music video of my life at that time (I'm about to turn 50), so for me, this is pure nostalgia. Great choice, and another great reaction. I hope you do more of his music. Also - I'd recommend Boy George! or more specifically - the group, Culture Club. #RobSquadRules P.S. - Ladies LOVED George, for sure. Unfortunately for them, George was also gay. He came out later in life, but I don't think too many of us were shocked.... I wasn't, anyway.

[@scottwhitt2570]

Kissing a Fool is definitely top notch

[@celestjujube8]

George was a great composer and musician! That song was and still is considered the greatest slow song of the 80's! And yes, we all had our suspicions about George's sexuality but we still loved him! Congrats on your coming birthday! I personally hit 50 a week ago so... we're oldies but goodies now!

[@michelemichele3375]

George Michael was gay?!! What? I guess now you’ll tell me Boy George and Barry Manilow and Liberace are gay? And RuPaul? Lol, jk. Support ✊

[@lindastodola691]

George Michaels in my opinion was the only singer to match up to Freddie Mercury in the tribute concert for Freddie. He is incredible- bless his sweet heart- RIP George-♥️

[@hoptoit5910]

It’s George Michael. No ‘S’

[@actionbarbie1]

The George Michael performance of Somebody to Love at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert is so amazing.

[@bds2044]

George came out on set to the woman who appears in the video with him. It's been stated that prior to the kissing scene, George was a bit uncomfortable. She advised him to live his authentic self but the 80's music industry was a whole different world! He is one of my absolute favourite male voices we have ever exported. A true talent. RIP 🙏

[@michaeltimmins4508]

The album Listen Without Prejudices vol. 1 is one of the best albums. Waiting for the day, Freedom, Waiting reprise... The whole album is great

[@sandra92278]

How can you not know this Legend in music 🫣

[@MichaelJones-sh7nu]

Timeless music never goes out of style or sounds dated. Hard to believe this song came out nearly 40 years ago.

[@Shane-Flanagan]

I still marvel at the fact that Jay and Amber have never heard of all these greats like George and their timeless hits. So happy they reviewed this masterpiece, one of my absolute favs. George's voice was just something else!

[@catherinetiernan5888]

I'm with on that. I am constantly surprised by the Music and Musicians they Never heard before.

[@shellykenner6291]

I love George Michael!!!!!

[@andreasandrikos9879]

Wham (his band name)was the soundtrack of our youth.... Back in the 80s .... When it first came out our entire schools were singing crying and slow dancing for months and months.... Still gives me goosebumps and bring tears.....RIP LEGEND

[@topgazza]

The sax is not sampled from Baker Street. Different pitch and a totally original solo. This is 100% live recorded and written by George when he was a teenager. Astonishing richly gifted individual with a voice that was flawless. RIP George

[@keethybaby1116]

George Michael One More try is a masterpiece his vocals in that song would blow your mind.

[@lorileeann7623]

My favorite song of his...saw him perform it live at Madison Square Garden... brilliant...

[@alexanderton6409]

George Michael came up with the saxophone when he was on a school bus it took him 15 minutes and he remembered it and made one of the most iconic songs ever

[@constancebanks8238]

My brother once said ‘that is the most beautifulist sing he has ever heard!

[@JValerieJohnson]

"Freedom" both solo and with Wham!, "father figure" "a different Corner" " don't let the sun go down". I love all his work!

[@Shrykespeare]

George Michael started out in a pop duo called Wham! before striking out on his own. This was his first single as a solo artist, and it hit #1 in 1984. He hit #1 in subsequent years with "I Know You Were Waiting For Me" (with Aretha Franklin), "Faith", "Father Figure", "One More Try", "Monkey", "Praying For Time", and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" (with Elton John). I hope at some point you'll do "Freedom '90", which is one of my all-time favorite songs and has a piano track that will embed itself in your brain forever. As for being a "ladies' man"... he maintained that image for a long time before coming out as homosexual in 1998. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 53. A tremendous loss for music and the world.

[@dawngrant4918]

Careless Whisper was by Wham. It was there 2nd release behind Wake Me Up Before You GoGo. This was not a Solo endeavor.

[@Shrykespeare]

@@dawngrant4918 Yes, you're right. Good catch.
