"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.

[@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.

[@joyhruska9377]

I remember a lot of heartbroken women when we found out George Michael was gay!!😪

[@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.

[@BardOfAndromeda]

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

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.

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.

I had forgotten how good this song was, and how many memories are attached to it, and others of that time period. By my personal calculations, my son was conceived after having gone to the club and dancing with his father to this song. It was a couple years old, but still a frequent dance request later in the evening. The song came out in 1984, and that evening was in 1986. It was the last time I danced with Richard, in fact. He left for Germany soon after, as he had joined the Army. He didn't even meet our son till he was almost 2, so we never had the chance to get together as a family. It worked out okay in the long run, and I'm good friends with my son's dad to this day- that was never an issue, thank goodness. So, in spite of the sad subject of the song, I have pretty fond memories associated with it, as well as that period of my life in general. I was 19-20 years old, quite pretty (looking back, cause at the time I thought I was anything but), the music was great. dance/pop, blues, classical, and hair bands could be called the appetizer, main course, cheese, and dessert courses on my plate, and I relished it all. Thanks for the blast from the past! (My son will be 35 in February). Cheers and love from the Old Broad, as always

Incredible artist but more incredible human being. Look up his philanthropy. Made a huge amount of money but never stopped giving to others.

He wrote this when he was 17yrs old. George Micheal was one of the most talented singer songwriters in the world and he is missed.

[@bushwickvic]

George was an amazing force in Music in the 80’s - he broke a lot of ladies hearts - because he played for the other team… but an amazing voice and artist and left this world too soon… He died on Christmas Day 😢 Love you guys, We live in OKC originally from NYC… I feel like I have seen you around the area where we live…. We live near PC North…

[@joyhruska9377]

Yes he did break some hearts!😪

[@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.

[@Mark-iv7np]

George was one of the greatest singers in music history. Great song. He was in Wham before he went solo. IM YOUR MAN is great with Andrew Ridgeley in Wham. Sadly he passed a few years ago. RIP George!

[@stevehamilton8824]

One of the best songs ever written. One of the best voices ever to sing. The sax is amazing, but the song is so incredible.

[@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.

[@Emilaria]

He did a fun song with the goddess Aretha Franklin called “I Knew You Were Waiting”. It’s a bop

[@QueenHyphenette]

Or his duets with Mary J and Whitney- perfection!

[@bieassialaw6832]

Please let the people know! George Michael was getting his duets in…

[@erikagholston6610]

Major bop!

[@christinacee8512]

He wrote beautiful songs… Kissing a fool and Jesus to a child… SERIOUSLY.. just do it!!! 💜💜💜

George was one of the biggest recordings artists he was gay but had lots of problems and was found dead on Christmas day in his home about 5 year ago of a drug overdose .very sad

[@kathenavarro6850]

Kissing a fool is my favorite!!

@@kathenavarro6850 Same. I also love Praying For Time.

[@bagelking6364]

George was so so cool ,a totally pure voice. Careless whisper was the best tune

[@evabyrum3327]

This man was extremely talented and was drop dead gorgeous. After he was caught up in some kind of situation, he did finally step out of the closet and admit he was gay. A lot of women were heart broken but his music was amazing, as was he himself! Please do Faith and I Want Your Sex. Those songs along with this one are some of his best!!❤

[@dariog36th]

My sister was devastated. She had a huge poster of him in her room. She was still a fan of his music but her dream of one day marrying him died

[@deantait8326]

Yes, I was going to suggest, so exactly how does she define, a ladies man....

[@PSPguy2]

I really like Geoge Michael and his music but I must say the second I saw him in his Wham video of Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go I said YES!, that boy is cute AND gay! I suppose some people just don't have gaydar. As far as his public sex "incident" that forced him out of the closet, he staged the best comeback to the situation by making the music video "Outside".

[@exaraki]

"Freedom! 90", "Edge of Heaven", "Father figure", "Last Christmas", "Jesus to a child", Sexual freak", "If I told you that", "Flawless", "Wake me up before you go-go" and soooo many more they should at least listen too

[@TechnicallyTexan]

And Father Figure!

[@eldoc2020]

George Michael with sir Elton John - don't let the sun go down on me. MUST HEAR!

[@gypsyrocker]

You guys should do some Hall and Oates! I think you'd love them, maybe try You Make My Dreams Come True, or Maneater. (Maneater has some sax in it) Or something slower like Sarah Smile! They're so good, Daryl Hall is amazing!

[@carolgerlt7183]

I agree with you!!

[@bengilbert7655]

Yes! Also "I Can't Go For That", Private Eyes", and "Rich Girl". You've seen them before in "We Are the World."

[@drel5891]

Absolutely brilliant! Amazing artist. Iconic song that will be remembered for quite some time.

[@RLKmedic0315]

"Don't let the sun go down on me" performed live by George Michael with a special appearance by Sir Elton John. It is amazing and no one that I know of has reacted to it.

Definitely gonna need to check out the group WHAM!!!..... George Michael was with them in his beginnings. He did awesome on his own though!!!!! So sad he's gone 😞❣️❣️

[@barblibrarian]

He died so young…

George Michael was a man’s man. You should check out his song Freedom. Also bit of irony, he had a song, Last Christmas. And he died on Christmas Day.

He had two songs Freedom and Freedom 90. Freedom 90 is the video with all the super models.

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

[@moms2398]

Check out "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham! (an iconic 80s song that was the start of George Michael's career with a childhood chum). He then went solo. "Faith" is a great iconic 90s video that features the biggest names in modeling at the time. My favorites are "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" with Elton John and "One More Try", but his catalog was fantastic.

[@RussianNightmare]

That's incorrect. They had an album before Make It Big (Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go). Their name was WHAM UK.

[@charansel2315]

One of George Michael's BEST songs when he was with Wham! ( that was the name of his group ) was "Everything She Wants" it has 68 million views on KZbin . Great music, vocals, and it has a really nice black & white video of his live performance that really shows how crazy the women were for him !!!❤❤😍😍😍

[@NerdGirlUK]

Totally agree. Everything She Wants is my favourite Wham song!

[@IkeOs20]

"One more try" is a masterpiece, and understand his grandiose but when you hear "praying for time" (he sang in the late '80's), just apply it to today.

[@ssbadd1]

Agreed!

[@amandabispo2949]

Word!!

[@patrickalonzo3518]

OMG! This song is a timeless classic. It was a huge hit all around the world when I was in high school. I didn’t really love it until I was older

[@scapito]

Both ladies and gentlemen loved him equally. He broke barriers.

[@lyndondodge1963]

Lmao

[@myproject13ttt]

One of the MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICES, YOU'LL EVER HEAR. The horns that you're listening to in this song are original for the song itself belongs to no other song. He used to be in a Duet Group called WHAM! With a young man by the name of Andrew Ridgeley in the 80's RIP George Michael 🙏

[@JustaGuy2.0]

I'm honestly surprised that you never heard of George Michael, one of the most famous singer of all time. There are so many amazing songs from him. I particularly love the very underrated "Praying For Time"

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

[@colinstevens2691]

Lol, Amber your comment made me smile….George was most definitely not a ladies man if you know what I mean😂 This is classic 80’s pop. If you’re lovin George then check out Faith or A Different corner or his duet with Elton John, don’t let the.sun go down on me, a real classic 😊

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

C'mon man, it's OK to say he was gay. What's with the "if you know what I mean" nonsense?! We don't have to nudge and wink when referring to gay people any more.

[@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 🙏
