Vicefan7777 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Just read that this entertaining singer has died. I very much enjoyed his recordings. Sure he openly talked about his addictions and was in rehab, but he certainly could sing. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Just read it... this is really sad. One of the definitive faces of 80s pop culture is gone. News are still sparse yet... I hope it isn't what I think happened... he was on kind of a dark path in the last few years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 "Older" is such a great album, start to finish! Here's that playlist below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 "Spinning The Wheel" was also great. Or "Fastlove". He was immensely talented as a musician. He wrote "Careless Whisper" as a 15-year-old schoolboy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators timm525 Posted December 26, 2016 Administrators Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 "I want your sex!" Best scen in Beverly Hills Cop II. One of the best. I hope it wasn't from HIV/AIDS. Lots of rumors of his "alternative" life style back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D. Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I always liked "Careless Whisper" but didn't know it was George Michaels. May he Rest in Peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytona74 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Another great song: The album "Faith" was kind of the soundtrack to my life as a 14 to 15 year old. Songs like "Father Figure" were what was played during slow dance rounds at our parties... I had a friend who had the CD and who made a cassette tape of it for me. The catch was that the album was just over 60 minutes long, which meant that on a standard 60-minute audio cassette, the last 1:20 minutes or so of the equally great song "Kissing a Fool" were missing... It's a peculiar feeling when you see your former idols go. Edited December 26, 2016 by Daytona74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 George himself played bass guitar on Kissing a Fool--also on You Have Been Loved and Freedom 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary1911A1 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Sad. I don't understand why he had a burr haircut. A lot of guys would love to have the hair he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) well his hair was getting thinner over the years, if you look closely at more recent pictures... You have to have quite dense hair growth to really pull off 80s hair and not look like Phil Spector...

Tommy Vercetti Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Sad news. I must confess I wasn't the biggest fan of George Michael but it's still very sad to see him go at such a young age. 2016, what you do have against music legends? The music video for Careless Whisper was in Miami which was good. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 16 when Faith came out, and just turned 19 when Listen Without Prejudice came out. i had the record of Faith and I want your sex part 3 was left off because of space. as for his hair i think he just liked different styles. He cut it short way back in 1991 the first time. Super thick hair and beard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) "Listen Without Prejudice" was a great album that never received all the credit that it deserved. "Praying for Time", the first track on that album, was my waking up song for quite a while. I had a wake up timer on my stereo in my room as a kid, so that's how I woke up for school every day. To the first track of whatever CD album I thought was cool at that time... Edited January 13, 2017 by Daytona74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzVice Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 it was a bit of a downbeat album and i was depressed over a girl when it came out so i played it more than anything in the early 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a classic - I just love this album and the lead single "Praying For Time" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
