George Michael, Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Live) REACTION | DaVinci REACTS 

My parents were at this gig. Forever jealous.

RIP George Michael !! What a voice

I don’t think people realize how underrated the drummer in the song is. He killed it.

Everyone: this song can't get any better... George: Hold my beer...

George Michael was the male version of Whitney Houston. Tremendous power and range.

George Michael's vocals move me so much 2:52. Makes me cry, he should still be here.

Elton John's first live performance after "getting clean" .... great collaboration 👏

George Micheal was truly a soul singer from his heart, and always had musicians that were talented, and color was never an issue.......sadly missed & thank you for bringing goose bumps in my life today!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I miss real singers like George Michael ! Lovely powerful voice and all.

at the end... George said.. "Sir Elton John". Total respect for George Micheal, in that moment.

The great Elton John and George Michael. RIP Michael. Thank goodness Elton is still with us.

No one had a voice this good in the late 80s/Early 90s

I love and miss you George Michael.

Whenever there was a Charity Benefit Concert in the UK it was always George Michael that would headline.

I can’t believe you didn’t know this song! This is one of my faves. I’ve loved it since the first time I heard it. I love both these men.

Please react to Queen with George Michael singing Somebody to love. Was a great cover. Was done as a tribute to Freddie Mercury shortly after his passing ❤️

This was Elton’s song written in the 70s and George loved it and asked it record it with him.

One of THE finest duets, EVER ! EVER !! --------------At Wembley Stadium, 1991,

2 British legends right there. George was such a lovely man and an extreme talent. Gone too soon.

George sings his heart out that man is a singer Elton just sings his style

George Michael had an amazing band. He was incredibly loyal to them and they to him. He even payed them when they weren't touring. :) The fact that they were mainly black wasn't an issue, he just wanted talented people. Though he was a big supporter of equal rights and was very pro social justice. There's never really been ghettoisation in the UK, in the way it existed in a lot of US cities and towns. Even in areas where a lot of black people lived, there would always be plenty of white people too. Not to mention people with origins in the Indian subcontinent, or East Asia. If someone were to describe an area as a black neighborhood, in the UK, it may be 40% black, at most. I think a lot of British artists, who have gone to America, have found some of the racial attitudes hard to deal with. The Beatles, for instance, insisted on a clause in their tour contracts, that said they would not play to segregated audiences. In the 50s and 60s, a lot of black American artists, virtually unknown to white America, were idols in the UK. It was their influence that sparked the first 'British Invasion'.. When MTV started, British artist were among the first to criticise it's exclusion of black artists. See this MTV interview of Bowie, where he turns the tables on his interviewer and can barely contain his disgust at the response: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XZGiVzIr8Qg.html When Craig David, a black British artist, went to America, music exec's wanted him to drop his band because it was mainly white and they felt it wouldn't fit. He refused. There's an endless stream of such stories. I'm not saying that racism doesn't exist in Britain. It does, of course... unfortunately. However it does appear to be less entrenched and much less acceptable.

George did some amazing duets...more than any other pop musician i can think of from the era. My personal favorite was the lisa stansfield duet with him. They covered queens "those were the days" brilliantly.

Other interesting George Michael duets: I Knew You Were Waiting with Aretha Franklin, As with Mary J Blige and If I Told You That with Whitney Houston. He did some amazing covers, like They Won't Go When I Go

Elton John is amazing. Love his unique sound.

60 years old now and I still get chills whenever I hear Elton sing Just like when I hear Freddie mercury sing some queen comes on the radio. Probably the two most powerful voices from back in my childhood was Elton John and Freddie mercury.

An all time classic!!!! You picked a legendary one! I was shocked all these years now one had reacted to this on youtube. Thumbs up man! 👍

Elton John is by far my favorite singer of all time going way back to the severities. He is just simply the greatest of all time.

Please look up info about George Michael. He holds a few records in history. He made the "black charts" and was considered a blue eyed soul singer. His band, Wham! also broke barriers as the first Western band to perform in China. As for a song or two to showcase his voice, definitely the aforementioned Freddie Mercury tribute, Somebody To Love. My personal fave A Different Corner, Jesus to a Child (it was written about his partner who died from HIV/AIDS complications.), Careless Whisper, along with the Aretha, Whitney and Mary J duets. The Aretha one won a Grammy for them both, in the soul/r&b category which ticked off a number of people. One More Try, Father Figure. Essentially you can't go wrong with him.

This performance has significant meaning even then. They had feud over 1985's Live Aid, using Elton's song and George didn't let Elton sing his parts. In a nutshell, George treated Elton as a session player on his own song. 1985's Live Aid was a BIG deal Worldwide! They speak for 6 yrs, until George apologized and invited Elton to appear in key cities on the tour. This song is Iconic!

FYI: The drummer is Michael Jackson's drummer, Jonathan"Sugar foot" Moffett!!

Beautiful. George kept the same background singers and musicians. One of the best singers of lyrics. Mr. George Michael.

These two together were absolute magic.

I saw George sing this exact song with Elton on his cover to cover tour at Wembley arena around 1990. Didn’t see any tv cameras but the performance was exactly the same as the video.

Spinning the wheel by George Michael #Davncireacts

First time to see your channel but i saw George Michael and i clicked!!! George was the best!! One more try is a must and also somebody to love!! Too many to choose from!!!

You should listen to 'Everything She Wants' by Wham!, which is a band that George Michael was in before he went solo. Its a great song.

So happy you reacted to this! Love this performance! Great reaction!

Two very amazing singer. George Michael gone to soon. He had the voice of an angel.

Please react to George Michael singing somebody to love at Freddie mercury tribute concert live in the UK. Stunning x

As a young man, George performed at the Apollo....possibly the first white man to do so. Truly an amazing talent, even more amazing person.

This song is off of Elton's "Caribou" album.

Great reaction.....this song is from the Elton John Caribou album and the original background vocals in the studio were done by the Beach Boys.

Lmaaaaoooo, the Disney Movie threshold is so true. Lol

Two legends, insightful reaction.

Kinda epic!! Great reaction vid ⭐⭐⭐

Liked and subscribed! Enjoyed every part of this. I never knew George was that smooth with it! The swag he had in this one was very Soulful!

One of my favorite musical collaborations - ❤

One of the best duo in the history of music !!!I I love this song ,good for i men u must do more Elton John .Keep them commin...👍💪👏🇹🇩

this is one of Eltom Johns biggest hits in the 80s

That was pure magic.... I wish they would've done more songs together ! 😎🎹 😎🎙

Love George and Elton. R.I.P George

This is actually Elton John's song☺

Not just the backing singers either. Chris Cameron was his musical director throughout his career too

Amazing to think that was Live. True Singers

Hi Devon, Watch George Michael in concert. Maybe his 25 tours. You won't believe the quality of his voice. He sounds exactly the same in concert as in the studio. Also, notice how he brings his audience in and truely makes them part of the music. Each of his albums has an awesome mix of songs for your heart & for your feet. ( As George says it) Please play some of your favorits of Georges. I'd love to hear them, and your reaction! Thanks

This song is one of Elton John's biggest hits and George Michael just made it bigger in his generation. The song is about a relationship possibly ending and that is what the title is about

this is gold brother

This is EPIC!!! My favorite hands-down! George Micheal is an entity all his own as is Elton of course! Luuuuuv this song/ performance! By the way this song is an Elton original...not sure whose "band" it is for this performance...probably a combo of both....

Great stuff from George Michael ☝️

The original lyric was " Dont let your son, go down on me" :)

Yes they do!!!!

Never noticed until now (it's only taken me 27 years) but the drummer is non other than Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett, Micheal Jacksons drummer.

George Michael was so underrated. His voice was one of a kind. The reason why Mariah and Adele and Leona Lewis are around. His voice was so uncomparable that even the Queen of Soul herself had done a duet with George Michael called *KNEW YOU WERE WAITING FOR ME.* I wish back in the day people took George Michael's voice seriously the way Michael Jackson, Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandrose, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Madonna, and Prince had taken him. Elton John and George Michael were solid with those voices.

Two of the best love them both amazing guys 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘💖💖💖💔💔💔💔

you were talking about George's band, the majority of the people in his band were with him for 20/ 25 years , that includes a few of his back up singers... his bassist was Deon Estus and he had been with him since he started the group Wham! back in 82 i think it was . George always had a majority of black members in his band, and i can only think of one time where he had a white back up singer , you can listen to his body of work and hear how soulful he was...he did duets with Aretha, Whitney and Mary J , Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson...just fantastic music !

Guy, you'll maybe never understand, recognize, whatever...But this was one of the greatest duet-moments in the twentieth century... Not ment bad from a guy from Vienna, but that's just legend!!!!

Thank you for sharing.. I'm on my man's phone... Mine broke lol.. amazing harmony

It's amazing the amount of people that don't realise that this is an Elton John original song written by him and Bernie in 1974.

This song is Elton's song. ❤

No way does George Michael look anything like Elton John! Such iconic guys, just brilliant, & fabulous to see them both.

One of the best collabs EVAR!

Best duet of all time. And FYI....back in the day EVERYBODY wanted George Michael.

This was a major performance. George was going through a Hard Time professionally and Personally. His Lover Anselmo would eventually die of AIDS, and he was going through alot of issues with Sony. He wanted to get out of his Contract but they wouldn't let him. Elton John and George worked with each other before, on a Song that Elton did called Wrap Her Up. The Two of them along with David Furnish attended Princess Diana's Funeral where Elton Sang an alternative Version of Goodbye Norma Jean. Also this was the Second Time Elton went to Number One with his Own Hit. Shortly afterwards Elton would go into Rehab to battle his Demons including Drugs, Alcohol and Bulimia. You may not know this but The Brits have always revered American R & B. From the 1950's when the Beatles started out, they would cover Little Richard, Chuck Berry as did the Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds that Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton & Jimmy Page started out in. Elton was also influenced by Little Richard as was David Bowie. The Beatles also covered a lot of Motown Songs in the 1960's from Money, You Really Got A Hold On Me, Shout & Twist & Shout and Please Mr. Postman. For this music Generation a lot of Boy Bands & Girlbands "Cover" obscure R & B Songs. In fact The Music of Motown & Philly Soul has been featured on Soap Operas, TV Shows, and have been Covered on Reality TV.

"he looks like Elton John" ,lol. errr,no,he doesn't.

Nice voice👏

Was that Sugarfoot Moffett I saw back in those drums? That guy has played with ALL the legends.

Hi beutuful you...Good Choice .... greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪😊

*LOL get your mind outta the gutter bro. After decades of hearing this song that never crossed my mind... until now,*

RIP, George Michael.

Beautiful song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great reaction and good choice. A good george michael song as far as great vocals is “ one more try”

Just Elton, nobody else!

One of the best duets of all time imo.

BTW he sang this with Elton at Live Aid in 1986 (he's voice wasn't as good as this live version, remember LIVE) here! You really gotta know George more, I think you'd appreciate him. He had always been influenced by black musicians, ALL concerts including time in WHAM half of the bandmembers (almost /George is Greek) were black, he was the first to use a black woman (pepsi) in WHAM, and he invited a black saxophonist the last 2 years of WHAM so they were 5 not 4. (watch "I'm your man by Wham or their concerts & youd see sometimes there was more black ppl in the band and crowd) George introduced R&B to Europe and you can see even when he became solo artist, most black ppl,. On an interview he was asked why, he said I don't see them in colourd, but they are just more talented! 😁👍 He's duet with Arethe Franklin "I knew you were waiting for me" was no. 1 single just before he became solo artist. (Freddie Mercury was jealous but liked it) If you saw he's shows, videos you understand he didn't see ppl in colours, but for WHO they were, and that's how it's suppised to be. ✌️ He really made it easier for black ppl in Europe, but ppl gotta understand we don't have any issues with black ppl in Europe , yes in UK, but it's totally different than in USA . In denmark 🇩🇰 iI've been to many concerts and George Michael could sing so it feels as if he sang only to you ❤️ Hands down best concerts was with George! I heard Elton sang this to Georges funeral this song, very emotional and says that George sang the song better and he owned it. I think if you learned Georges song, lyrics, the R&B sound plus he's collab with Whitney whouston, Mary J. Bleige abd many more, I think you'd also not only like him as artist, songwriter and composer but as a human being! Jesus to a child, beautiful song . Shoot the dog (he dud not like Bush or Tony Blair) And he's beautiful interpretation of Queens Somebody to love 👏👏👏 I really think many ppl missed out on awesome music cuz they didn't really understand George, only knew him from WHAM or sex scandals etc' sad. Remember he gave us Last Christmas, Careless Whisper, Father Figure and so much more 🙏 Sry for typo, danish phone and dry for long comments but im a GM fan and miss him dearly 😭❤️😔🙏 Great vid!, thanks! Xoxo Monster Mom 😊🇩🇰🙏🌻👍

Picture yourself in the front row at this concert!!!!

The Disney thing you just said, I do the same thing! If I can imagine this song be sung by a Disney character or be used in any animated sense, It's a good song! I love this song and it deserves all the accolades and awards!c

The drummer and pianist both played for MJ on tours

Please react to Elton John "Someone saved my life last night"

Dude you are a beautiful person. No black or white...just a human with a big heart. No god, no judgment, just a renaissance man. ✌

A bit late, but please watch GM's Killer/Papa Was A Rolling Stone live - breathtaking xxx

I'm not sure if the band is George's or not, however, check out his more of his works on U TUBE. a note also check out his band members. With WHAM and the next 10 to 15 years, many stayed with him through his solo career. And the next set another 15+ years. Some though it all. That says a lot. He has many black professionals in his band, He had only the best for his music. You should also listen to the Freddie Mercury tribute. George sings Somebody to Love. He knocks out of the park. If you really like George Michael, do some more of his music. You won't be disappointed, I promise. I love to see your reactions to his music. Please do more. Thanks, Be safe and healthy.

I sincerely hope that after (or before) you have exhausted the many great works of George Michael, you will do a deep dive into the many great works of Sir Elton John. There is not enough space here to list the numerous masterpieces that Elton along with his lyricist, Bernie Taupin, created together. Only you can discover this by checking out not only his hits but also the many album cuts that rivaled his hits but were too mature for commercial radio. Songs like Have Mercy On The Criminal, All The Girls Love Alice, Social Disease, Better Off Dead, Talking Old Souldiers; I could literally go on and on. I truly do not understand why more of his music isn't reviewed, knowing what I do about his extensive musical library. Please see the video of Elton John/The Oven Manuel Song. It will give you a new perspective on this most talented superstar.

Other really great songs to check out: Heart: Alone, All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You, Crazy on You and Never. Richard Marx: Hazard (pls watch video with it), Endless Summer Nights, Beautiful Goodbye, Should've Known Better (which he co wrote with who is now his wife, she stars in the video with him). He's also known for being pitch perfect. Guns n Roses, man ANY song but, Yesterdays, Sweet Child O Mine, Rocket Queen (you may need lyrics on that one, also there's a backing vocal that lead singer Axl Rose HAD to have so he took a girl in the booth to get an, ahh, authentic sound), Civil War, November Rain, just for the chuckle, Used To Love Her. Those are just a few off the top of my head. I need to just share my playlist, lol.

You could give the original a try as well. Elton and his band really knock it out of the park.

How does he look like Elton John? 🤣

Devon DaVinci I suppose this is what is referred to as a generation gap I was 12 (George Michael was 11) when Elton John wrote this song and it had a deep meaning for me already back then. I would never think of it as just a suitable OST song but you are from a different generation it is worth the same that it does not speak to you in any other way. This is a Bernie Taupin lyric, a timeless work of art like all the others. As for having black musicians in bands I can only say Europe is a different world.

Elvis use to go to the black club's. He loved the musicians and singer's there

The song is from Elton Johns album Caribou

George Michael saw a lot of talent in Black music and really tried to highlight it and learn from it. It was kind of silly when he was accused to "stealing from Black music," but he took it well and just tried even harder to highlight the talent that inspired him. He did a duet with Aretha Franklin too that was pretty good.

My dad bought us a whole stereo unit and gave me and my sisters good by yelllw brick road 8 track we played it all summer
