The only man who sang with Aretha Fraklin, Whitney Houston & Mary J Blige and be able to hold his own with the three queens of R&B!!!! You are missed!!!!
I think people really don't realize how big of a voice he had. I remember seeing a video of him singing live and his voice!!! It was so loud, clear, and magical. RIP George
I saw him once in Glasgow, I was dying of a hangover and my friend had a spare VIP ticket. I was nonchalant before, after that concert my life changed. I cried my eyes out on Christmas, when he passed. A beautiful soul.
Look at ALL the greats he performed with, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston Maryjay, Elton John, Tony Bennett, Astrud Gilberto Freddie Mercury in queen and the list goes on. Only George could tackle such a diverse roster
This version has so much soul and emotion in it, it sounds like a gospel song. After watching the WHAM! docu I can see how this version was George's brain child. He was such a sweet soul.
I'd be honored if some George Michael fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal TH-cam performances of ONE MORE TRY and PRAYING FOR TIME in tribute to 2 of George's many legendary compositions. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. THANK YOU GEORGE, WE MISS YOU.
LOL yes he was and I was positive I was going to marry him in my young mind - then I "grew up" and just had to go with BUT, DARN HE STILL FINE - HAPPY FRIDAY ALL
Wouldn't it have been awesome if George and Mary could have done a whole album together? Their voices blend so well. George's voice says relax and enjoy, and Mary's voice says we going to church.
I remember this kut from The "Best Man" movie soundtrack, back in1998!! Damn, this quarantine is helping me discover all these R&B Gems!! I didn't even know they made a music video for this track!! George Michael and Mary J. Blige!! DAMN!! This is still the Jam!! Thank You, Mr. Stevie Wonder!!
Imho only man who comes close is Freddy then Johnny Mathis. This man sounds like he has 1000000 worth of studio effects and it's all damn natural. Holy shit like hot butter!!!
Having to watch George Michael and Mary J Blige clones in one room is a helluva party. Took a Stevie Wonder classic and make another classic? ICONIC!!!! RIP GEORGE, YOU'LL BE FOREVER MISSED
George Michael is the ONLY male artiste who can cover a Stevie Wonder song and make it sound beautiful. This is how it's done. And the always wonderful and legendary Mary J. Blige was the best duet partner for this classic. Wonderful!! You don't just cover a Stevie Wonder classic, it cannot be done, I thought...until I saw and heard this. I'm not gay, but I gotta say, George Michael was a beautiful-looking man, and that suit is perfection!
Man, Stevie must’ve been honored to have two giants of the music industry covering his song. Brilliant version of an awesome song! And George had a voice like pure velvet. I miss him….. 😞
Good Lord. That man’s groove is out of this world. I hope to the Heavens he’s still dancing that ass off with a choir of heavenly host, and feeling all the joy he always deserved. Thanks, suave George. You’re the best.
George Michael was one of few individuals who really understood the true beauty of song and how to showcase it with his magnificent talent. Words cannot explain or describe just how truly exceptional he was.
The sleek tone of George and rough edges of Mary's soulful tone is ethereal.....The bass line and the video is amazing... I can see this video a million times....
I saw Mary J Blige this morn on the Tamrin Hall show 4/25/2024 and George Michael's name was mentioned about this song they did together and they showed his picture. That made me happy that we aren't the only ones that love him and miss him. George will be with us forever in heart and mind.💕💋
I will love George Michael forever. He was just unique, the only one,a true musician and So so handsome inside and outside. It's so sad that he was so frustrated inside and unhappy himself during his last 10 yrs of life as he had to take refuge in drugs mostly.People ran for glimpse of him and he was running for peace in life although being so talented and rich. All his billions have been donated by him. What a great soul !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😭😭
Ever since his WHAM! days, the love has just kept on growing from then until now; and even though he is no longer with us, I still love me some YOG .. may he rest in peace.
@@petersutherland7779, actually it was her record company, who refused to add the song to her album, respectively George couldn't add it to the US version of his Greatest hits album. Regardless, the result is still the same - the song didn't get the attention it deserved because of some biased a$$hole.
George Michael was a soul brother. Phenomenal talent. All his collabs with the great soul singers Mary, Whitney, Aretha were great productions. This video is a work of cinmatic art.
George Michael, in my opinion was the cooliest white man that ever lived. He had a genuine swag. The music, moves, dance, his voice was everything. R.I.P. George Michael. I'll have your music in my ipod forever.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the technical wizardry that went into making this music video. Pure late 90’s slickness! Modern music videos just feel so cheap and uncreative in comparison.
I usually don’t care for remakes, but George Michael and Mary J. Blige definitely did their thing on this Stevie Wonder remake. The video is very creative too! Continue to RIP #GeorgeMichael
I'm pretty much of the same opinion regarding remakes.. but I've literally just watched Stevie on one of the music channels and I've just watched GM & MJB right here. They did an awesome job, keeping it faithful to the original version but with a slightly more urban vibe, due to Mary's huskier voice. Didn't appreciate George back in the day when he was part of Wham; songs were OK, but candyfloss and bubblegum pop. The talent was always there, bursting to come out, it was only when he went solo that the world saw what he was really made of and now I see that he was a truly gifted and talented man, with one of the best ( in my opinion) voices and songwriting skills the UK has produced in the last 30 or so years. Sorely missed.
The British love of American soul and R'n'B goes back a long way. George grew up listening to it and he essentially became a soul singer himself who had the ability to write and produce great songs. His legacy speaks for itself and the fact that Aretha, Whitney, Stevie, Smokey, Mary J and Beyonce all wanted to work with him (and they did) says everything. George Michael was a soul singer.
This video always amazes me. All of the George's and Mary's in it, how the different vocalizations are done with all the different George's and Mary's. I just love it and the song. I hope it won a video music award when it came out, truly unique.
Still listening to it in 2022 and loving every bit of it. RIP George Michael, you are truly unique and thank you for brining so much of joy to millions of people through your music.
Everything about this is fire... the song, it’s arrangement, their voices EVERYTHING. I think this is his very best duet. RIP George, we love and miss you so very much.
I lived ten miles from his house and rode there on my bike the day after he died, it was chaos with all the press but there was also a peace, an overall respect despite the amount of people, it was quite something
Because idiots that got into positions of power and influence in the music business and industry decided that vulgarity was to be praised and encouraged over talent and true musical beauty.
@@scottnever8732 Ariana grande?? She’s cute but there’s nothing legendary about her if you said Beyoncé now that would make sense she’s the only younger artist that can be named in the same league as Whitney and Aretha
My Mum passed away 18 months ago & sorry to hear about your Mum as well. As time goes by the pain get easier to live with though. Always remember that your Mum is looking down on you smiling. Keep your head up baby girl & make her proud.
WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? This man is absolutely mainline to pure singing magic that belongs in a different galaxy altogether…absolute, astonishing, jaw-dropping genius from George Michael
@@karnallsop9673 his kindness was off the charts. He did and gave so much to charity anonymously. He thought nothing of giving the royalties from a hit song to charity.
The song is ICONIC because of the legendary Stevie Wonder!! But these two voices made the new generation listen too. And the video is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!
He was, indeed, Gorgeous and had a voice to go with it! I still find tears running from my eyes a great deal of the time what a travisty that he is no longer with us.
A few days before George died he finished his documentary called Freedom. There's a clip where Stevie Wonder says that when he heard this song and what George had done with it he was in complete awe.
Who's still listening to this lovely song in January 2021. On another day that history is being made. Sing Mary, Sing George. True Legends! Thank you Stevie for this song.
You are ABSOLUTELY right. He is naturally cool. His swag was everything. It was EFFORTLESS without even trying. What makes it bad is that this man was humble, handsome, kind and he gave ALOT to charity. There are so many good things I could say about this wonderful man. Just miss him so. But we will have your music FOREVER.💜❤💯💯
Wow! Mary J. Blige is a lucky lady.😉 FYI, George Michael covered 13 songs, which were written by childhood idol Stevie Wonder, at studios or live concerts during his lifetime. He especially sang duets with Stevie in 1985 and 1997. All the songs are as follows: 1. Love's In Need Of Love Today live (1985, 1987, 1988) 2. Village Ghetto Land live (1988) 3. Too Shy To Say live (1988) 4. Pastime Paradise live (1989) 5. They Won't Go When I Go studio & live (1990, 1991) 6. I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever) live (1991) 7. Superstition live (1991) 8. Living For The City live (1991, 1997) 9. As with Mary J. Blige (1999) 10. Blame It On The Sun with Ray Charles (2005) 11. Knocks Me Off My Feet studio rehearsal & live (2006, 2007) 12. Another Star live (2007) 13. You And I studio & live (2011) George was a massive fan of Stevie, wasn't he?

@@jennykennedy3338 it is the song I walked out to!! ;)
Only 17 but this WILL be in my wedding 😭
You rock Barbara✌️🐨💕😉
I can't believe he had gone.. His voice is eternal.. R.I.P George.. your careless whisper is always in my heart 🌷🌸🌹
He is in the sky near to God
Can’t listen to any of George’s songs without getting emotional...... I miss you George!😢🌷
Amazing artist. So many great songs. Rip George.
True. Watching and tearing up. I’ve only cried for George Michael and Prince. Both such a gift and gone too soon.
I lived ten miles from his house and rode there on my bike the day after he died, it was chaos with all the press but there was also a peace, an overall respect despite the amount of people, it was quite something
@@lurkster1974
Wow. Thanks for sharing.
I know what you mean, so sad he isn't here anymore 😢😢😢
Why they don't make songs like this anymore??😭😭
Stevie did write some of the best songs.
И почему больше нет таких исполнителей как Д.М.?
Because idiots that got into positions of power and influence in the music business and industry decided that vulgarity was to be praised and encouraged over talent and true musical beauty.
@@Avillo100 So true and so well said.Thank you.
Rigghhtt?!!!!
I always love the multiple George’s and Mary’s dancing ❤️❤️❤️
what a talent. but since his passing I've come to realise how much more i love his work...
😪 Cantava Muito
There will never be another Man who can do duets with voices like M Blige, Whitney, Aretha Franklin, true Divas of Soul and Pop.
which Madonna, which superbowl two thousand twelve?!
Soundbird
if they're dead no but there will always be legends of music. Ariana Grande is young and a legend and record holder
@SummerBreeze Michael a legend on his own
@@scottnever8732 Ariana grande?? She’s cute but there’s nothing legendary about her if you said Beyoncé now that would make sense she’s the only younger artist that can be named in the same league as Whitney and Aretha
Only love for George Michael
RIP George died the same day my mother did the Lord rest both their precious souls
josie your beautiful
My Mum passed away 18 months ago & sorry to hear about your Mum as well. As time goes by the pain get easier to live with though. Always remember that your Mum is looking down on you smiling. Keep your head up baby girl & make her proud.
Thanks xx
Josie's Space Sorry for your loss. I lost my mom too, a little over a year ago.
Josie's Space 🙏🏿😢🙏🏿
WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? This man is absolutely mainline to pure singing magic that belongs in a different galaxy altogether…absolute, astonishing, jaw-dropping genius from George Michael
One of my fav songs of all time R.I.P George, one of the UKs greatest!!!
UR3ANFISH me too😭😭😭
God ,he was georgous. And one of best dancers ever 💋
Beautiful man. RIP George Michael. The World was Blessed to have you grace us with your talent and presence.
Hello 🤗, how are you doing

When you have two legends doing a duet you end up with a masterpiece like this one.
When you have two legends doing a duet *that was written by another legend* you end up with a masterpiece like this one. 👍

Thanks for sharing that your 100% correct.
👍😊✌
Agreed.
@@82youtubeshared
100%
👍😊
He had some funky grooves! He was a looker, a singer, a writer and an amazing dancer! 😍❤️
I am usually not a fan of remakes and covers of classic songs, but this right here....flawless!
Me pasa lo mismo. No me gustan muchos los remakes o covers.....pero este me gusta más que la canción original
Agreed, along with Sound of Silence by Disturbed and Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit.
@@dlaweed stop lying the original is still good.
Mmm, no es seguro,@@dlaweed. ¿Cuándo fuiste el último tiempo escuchaste la canción de Stevie Wonder? Es muy especial.
Es que George podia hacer cover de lo que sea y le quedaba bien.
Solo escucha Songs From The Last Century.
Боже мой,какой у него волшебный голос!!Помним,любим,слушаем,смотрим клипы,и на сердце такая тоска!💗💔😥🙏🌹
He really had the greatest voice ever. Just angelic.
George & Mary …. WOW, never get bored of this tune!!!!❤
God he was BEAUTIFUL 😢❤❤
The most handsome man ever inside and out.
I agree with that comment 💯%
George had everything, not only his music.. but looks kindness style etc.
💕
Yes, and always loved this duet...would make Stevie Wonder proud.
He’s beautiful omg!! His voice is sooooo beautiful!!
@@karnallsop9673 his kindness was off the charts. He did and gave so much to charity anonymously. He thought nothing of giving the royalties from a hit song to charity.
Korect☝️😘😘
The song is ICONIC because of the legendary Stevie Wonder!! But these two voices made the new generation listen too. And the video is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!
This video is *EVERYTHING* !!!!!!! 💖💕😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
George Michael is another one of the great vocalist of this generation . I put him among the greats like Luther Vandross , Marvin Gaye , Sam Cooke .
This man George Michael, his voice was out of this world 🔥🔥
So is he. But life is like that.
Hi faith, how are you doing
One the best looking men in the world in the 80's and 90's, and a voice that lives forever.
💯
You covered it, Will !!
How is Ed Sheeran considered anywhere near this level
Agree
He was, indeed, Gorgeous and had a voice to go with it! I still find tears running from my eyes a great deal of the time what a travisty that he is no longer with us.
2024 still going strong getting stuck in my head randomly ❤
My mom loved the way George danced in this video. RIP mom and George Michael
Dance his ass off honey
My mom loved George too! I know heaven is pretty crowded but I hope my mom got a chance to say whassup to George. RIP Mom and George.
@@onewoman4274 ikr if I caught him dancing at a club I would cut in. be like excuse me mary. and afterwards buy him some dranxs !
Blessings To Yo MOMZ. SO very sorry for your own Loss. HUGGZ
@@SuperLuminalElfThank you so much. It’s been 17 years but it still hits me every now and then. God Bless you and your loved ones
Stevie must've been very proud of both Mary and George doing an outstanding remake of one of his hits
He was He said he was in awww ... look at GM document freedom!
A few days before George died he finished his documentary called Freedom. There's a clip where Stevie Wonder says that when he heard this song and what George had done with it he was in complete awe.
Yes he gave permission for them to cover what happened to Mary j
NICE DANCE NICE VOICE
MrAntiSellOut definitely
Who's still listening to this lovely song in January 2021. On another day that history is being made. Sing Mary, Sing George. True Legends! Thank you Stevie for this song.
I am. Jan/30/21
GOD BLESS YOU A. ROBINSON
@@lance111 Thank you so much. Blessings to you as well.
I am because I love it because it's song by two greats that remade it from an extremely talented man ❤❤❤ Yvette
February 2021
I still listen to all his music and I’m 86…. This is October 2024. He was an absolute musical genius and gorgeous to look at. Will always love him.❤
You are ABSOLUTELY right. He is naturally cool. His swag was everything. It was EFFORTLESS without even trying. What makes it bad is that this man was humble, handsome, kind and he gave ALOT to charity. There are so many good things I could say about this wonderful man. Just miss him so. But we will have your music FOREVER.💜❤💯💯
AMEN that can be said again and again and again. Soooo true . RIP and I know your still singing now.

George was a massive fan of Stevie, wasn't he? Please point out if there are any inaccuracies.

Thank you so much, this is so useful!! They are my two favourite artists and I always love discovering overlaps between the two.
@@mannybelt My pleasure. Thank you!😊
Accidentally missed one. George also sang 'Love's In Need Of Love Today' at the Concert Of Hope in Dec. 1993.
thank you . you are a fantastic librarian. i am not being facetious. [ it is not a criticism, it is a praise]
@@kenmurray1600 Thank you so much!😊
This cover does two amazing things: it honours a great song by Stevie Wonder AND it transforms into a magnificent duet 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
J'irai déposer 53 roses rouges sur la tombe de cet homme merveilleux qu'est Georges Michael quand je me rendrai en grande Bretagne.❤❤❤❤❤😢,
If you sing a Steve Wonder song, this is how it's done.
Exactly. For me, he was the king of covers.
He was wonderful because he never tried to "duplicate" the original. This man had so much style and a beautiful soul and it came through in song!
Chad Sanders Amen to that
Agree to that!
Chad Sanders agreed but nothing can touch the original
This is my fave. He was great as part of a duo, a solo artist, and in collaborating. Anything George Michael touches turns to gold.
Hi Ricca, how are you doing today
Two true icons!! Love this version of the song!! Mary J Blige and George Michael ♥️
He had such a beautiful voice. RIP 💙 Mary J is such a treat ❤ ALWAYS 😊
As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's a cure
You can rest your mind assured
That I'll be lovin' you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be lovin' you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
That last through forever
Another day
As today I know I'm living for tomorrow
Couldn't make me be the past but that I mustn't fear
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I left behind
And I'll be loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphins fly and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
(True love don't wanna pay)
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever
Another day
As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I left behind
That I'll be lovin' you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphins fly and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more
Always
Always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphins fly and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more
This is still one of the best remakes of an amazing original songs fronted by an incredible video. RIP George
