@@moanamoonlight698 Yes, I was trying to find who had more votes than him. Was it Duran Duran? I like them but I love George. He will always be number 1 with me.
@ritchiec Count me in. My kids are sick and tired of me ... GM this, GM that. I don't care. Lol. His voice. His writing. His perfectionist involvement from A to Z in his productions. His dedication to his craft. His talent. He was on another planet. It hurts my heart that not enough of the younger generation knows of him.
I heard this angel for the first time when I was only 12 back in 1985/86 and straight away I knew he was my life. Nothing before or after him. Only God knows the happy days this greek angel has brought to my soul.
This album is considered a masterpiece among music professionals. Alongside the covers, he created the album almost on his own. Produced arranged, wrote lyrics in the music. It is the album that made me a George Michael fan. I have mad respect for someone who can take something out of nothing and make it into a masterpiece
Just the most beautiful songwriter ever. I also love and appreciate how his music was very ottobiographical. If you followed his career every song told you his story.❤❤❤❤
He was, in a word; Exquisite Thank you for bringing this back. It’s like pulling at heart harp strings. His voice was man of my dreams-esque as well as best friend gossip-esque on the phone. Man’s best friend of my Dreams, as it turned out.
Hi, my friend, George did many, many covers of Stevie's. They performed twice as far as I know, once at the Apollo LOVE'S IN NEED OF LOVE TODAY, early on & at one of Stevie's concerts- LIVING FOR THE CITY! Both are magnificent, of course! Stevie was very impressed with George & I would say that they admired each other very much. When George passed, & Stevie was asked about George he said that GEORGE WAS God's GIFT TO THE WORLD! Pretty amazing words from a man like Stevie. It doesn't die there (check It out)! George captured many hearts, unfortunately, not for himself! Like many of us. ( myself included) All that you've said throughout your experience hearing George is right on point. Keep listening to George & you'll learn so much more about him. I half to say, that you'll be really hooked & enjoy his music & all that he was! ( your right there isn't anyone like George) Who crept so deeply into so many hearts! LOL, my Friend! Can't wait for your next! Let's speed you up a bit--TO THE CITY & One I Connick -- BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME but on Pavarotti & Friends, These will blow your socks off! 😁🥰😎🎤🎶🎶🎶
Have you heard George's version of Stevie's They Won't Go When I Go? It is so beautiful and powerful. There are no background singers, just George's voice being layered again and again. Just amazing.
@@teensymom1420 Hi, Yes I have however That song sounds very depressing, very, very sad. It kind of gives me the creeps. Not George's voice or the heart & soul he puts into It, that's always beautiful. As for that sort of subject, I'm more moved by THE GRAVE, again very, very sad, however, the story he tells really moves me. It makes me see & feel as If I'm watching & feeling the fear of this young man. I know he didn't write It but boy does It make an impact! I don't know, have you heard THE GRAVE & If so what do you think about It? Thanks, Teensy Mom, I hope we will talk again! 4-ever our George 🌹🕯😇🎶🎶🎶💖
@@teensymom1420 Hi Again my friend. I have something to ask you, have you seen the review of the new book about George's life. I just saw It here on RU-vid today. It was an interview with the author. I believe It's called GEORGE MICHAEL, THE LIFE. It was just released about 6 mo.-a year ago. It's set me back a bit. I don't know what to think of It! I recognize you from other reactions to George & believe I've talked to you about some of those reactions. Therefore, I felt I could ask you about It or If you've seen It. BK LOL, my friend 🤗💞
I literally just listened to this song like 5 minutes ago and said to myself that I wish someone would react to it. Wow!!...the power of my mind 😂 This is such a great tune ❤. Chills every time! I 100% agree with you as far as recognition. He was just inducted into the RRHOF this year...he got more fan votes than all other nominees. Yes, much deserved ❤❤ He will always be iconic. He wore his heart on the sleeve of his songs and produced magic!!
George Michael might be one of the greatest artists of all time, and he probably is. There is video showing how he went about making this song, it truly shows how big of a genious he really was. Would be really cool to see you react to it
Hard to believe this is over 30 years old, yet sounds still modern and as fresh as the day it was released. They'll be listening to this in 100 years and it will be regarded as timeless classical music is to us.
Our beautiful man George and 💜 the perfectionist and this shows in his music 💜 I could never choose a favourite song by George, but my favourite George duet is This is not real love, George breaking hearts in the most beautiful way 💜
He was inducted unfortunately after his passing. Is tremendous struggle with depression and battles with record companies as well as deaths and his family forced him to take a few pauses and his career. If it weren't for that, he may very well have been the greatest artist, surpassing Michael Jackson and other big stars.
So deserved and way overdue he is being inducted in to the hall of fame this year. He racked up the most votes for a solo artist in the history of the rock and roll hall of fame. That tells you how much he truly is Loved all over the world. Once he backed out of the America in thhe early 90's, he fell off the US market. The US just did not get an opportunity to hear what followed Faith, and what did, was beyond phenomenal. All his albums went to number one in the uk and many other parts of the world. All I can say is that America really missed out on a lot of fantastic and beautiful music.
@rosamiller8687 - you are so right. I believe George felt he needed to retreat from the intensity of his fame in America. He withdrew somewhat, like you say. You’re right that in the UK, Europe and Australia, as well as other parts of the world, he remained a very big star and never went away as he appeared to do in the US.
I'm revisiting your reaction because I love this song so much. Stevie Wonder was absolutely one of George's idols. Check out George's Freedom documentary and you will see Stevie featured there.They did two duets together which were epic. George often said that he felt that the range in which Stevie sang was perfectly suited to his voice and therefore covered many of Stevie's songs. We won't see an artist like George again. He was the full package. Singer, songwriter, producer and just as important, a quiet humble philanthropist. He gave a good part of his Is fortune away to the needy. I love and respect this artist so much.
This song comes from the album Listen Without Prejudice, which doesn't have the fame it actually deserves. On the record is a cover version of a Stevie Wonder song that blows me away every time I hear it.
George and Stevie were close. There are some RU-vid videos of them performing together. They do a great live performance of Stevie's Living for the City. Check it out!
Great reaction. This is my favorite song on the album. In my twenties I played this on a loop cryin' my eyes out, always over some guy. It's such a beautiful song.. an easy groove, lilting and hypnotic. Deceptively understated.
George will FINALLY be posthumously inducted into the RRHOF later this year Chod. I really miss this man. His music is timeless. I think that he did get the recognition when he was alive, but I do agree that his greatness was not recognized as much as it should have been. Great comments on your part Chod. 🔥
This favorite song of mine has a connection with James Brown & The Rolling Stones. As a drummer 🥁 yourself, I think you should look up that connection.
