      You should treat yourself to Ailee's live cover version of I Will Always Love You. She's definitely a top tier singer. I believe you will enjoy it.

    One of my faves by Aretha! George Micheal had so much so soul for a white boy!

    One of my favorite songs. Whoever thought to put them on a song together is genius. They just plain killed it. Aretha's lower register is just beyond...💜❤️🥰

    As I've said to other reactions of George and other artists, George was NEVER about out singing anymore he just sang. They came looking for him at the time, and because of this legendary duet, Aretha had her one and only English number 1.

    Aretha Franklin is THE greatest singer to have ever walked the face of this earth. i urge you to go down the Aretha rabbit hole, you'll not be disappointed. she could sing it all. And George also one of the best male singers ever. to have these two sing so well together and have it be such a big number one hit is very special. only Aretha's second number one hit and sealed her comeback.

    A moment in time. Real lightning in a bottle. "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" was a #1 hit in the US and in the UK; Aretha's biggest hit on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart at #2. The duo went on to win a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1987. RIP to two absolute icons.

    Yes she did, but George was so ECSTATIC when Aretha said yes to the duet…I believe this recording won both of them Grammy’s for this song.

    George loved Aretha can you imagine being asked to do a duet with your idol he was amazed and delighted to sing with her , Aretha joined George on his Faith tour to sing this live it was brilliant 2 icons , I adore George and his music he was a genius and so gorgeous ❤ loved everything he did

    You mean Aretha has a great timbre to her voice. She is all-time great! George is phenomenal as well!

  • @terrellinc22
    @terrellinc22 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The way I understood the situation was George was holding back - one with respect to a legend (even in 85) but R&B Singers (mostly Male) didnt embrace George in the beginning. Aretha accepted the paring for unity purposes. Plus, it was a boon for her - for she had just revamped herself to younger audience with "Freeway of love". So the paring with a Guy that just had the number one song of 1984 "Carless Whispers" didn't hurt her new found visibility to the teens.

    Aretha wouldn't let anybody outshine her. You should check out a special Divas Live concert where she and other powerhouses of the day performed together.... Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Shania Twain, Carole King. They would pair up and do some duets and some songs with all of them and Aretha wouldn't let anybody out-sing her.

    You need to react to "RETURN OF THE SPACE COWBOY" by Jamiroquai. I'm actually shocked that you haven't done any music by them yet. I see that you loved the Brand New Heavies, who were also another one of the great Brit Soul bands that did a major part in the ACID JAZZ movement of the 90s. I suspect that you're going to be blown away as I have been and still to this very day by this groundbreaking musical innovation of that particularly fertile period in popular music.

    I think that was the whole point. You don't out sing Aretha, pretty much nobody can. This was on Aretha's album, so, George was a guest. You don't dare even try and out shine Aretha you just compliment her.

    Not trying to throw shade on George Michael, but how high up in the mix did they have feature his vocal to even come close to standing up to the absolute powerhouse that is the Queen of Soul? Aretha is incomparable.
