My Dad used to work for him, his driver. Apparently & unlike many others, George would always prefer to sit at the front & would quite often from nowhere bust out a song & start singing. He told me that it was hard to fathom the scale of his talent, it simply defied belief. What George Michael did in entertaining us during his career was exactly what he was put on this Earth to do. You can't be that good for any other reason. His passing was a disaster & it still stings me but you just can't help but smile when watching this. An incredible artist.
Let’s hear it for Andrew who was a massive part of Wham and set George on his path to success, a talent of which we all got to be touched by. Bless Andrew and his now or never attitude. 💜
When you've been listening to someone for over 30 years and then something like this happens,it's incredibly sad. You may never have met them but they leave an imprint on your heart. RIP George
Oh man I grew up on Bowie and the old 70s stuff. When George passed away I cried everytime I played careless whisper . That was the most beautiful slow song ever written. I've never cried at any other artists passing . Something about George just pure kind brilliance
@@oldskoolpaul89 Careless Whisper now has 1 Billion views.. shows how loved GM was.. Bowie another absolute legend 💫🕊️🕊️ Two of my fav male artists.. in fact blasting Bowie right now!!
@@Samantha_C1 I always loved George but I did feel sorry for Andrew as he helped build the confidence of George. Then every time they were interviewed George was always speaking, partly because that is what tv company wanted.
You know....probably not. But, damn. They were a very entertaining band. I can listen to Elvis and hear pain...and despair even in the happy songs. But with GM....he always was for making people smile. Both still tortured souls but not as melancholy.
We all are doing it right, George. Sometimes we do it wrong or left, but you will always be the Man as will Andrew. You made the 80s and beyond better.
After watching the Wham! documentary on Netflix I realized that Andrew Ridgeley's influence on George Michael's career was huge. He was the one that encouraged George Michael to continue with his music career despite his insecurities. The friendship between them was real, sincere and genuine. Despite George's success in his solo music career, Andrew did not envy him. Therefore it was even more sad when Andrew got this phone call about George Michael's death. The pain of this loss would have been horrific for poor Andrew. I was always more charmed by Andrew and after seeing the documentary even more.
I found that to be the most interesting part of the documentary. When you think about how egos can get in the way, and it didn't happen with them, even when Andrew admitted that George's songwriting had progressed to the point where he did all of it. He seemed genuinely happy for George's success and it's great that they remained friends to the end and he has no bitterness about his time in the industry.
My wife and I went to Ireland for our Honeymoon 40 years ago . And careless Whisper came on the radio and I mean every 30 minutes it came on . And we drove thru all of Ireland listening to George ! He was a great one !!!!
There was no other U.K. ‘pop’ singer who could sing like this, a bit gospel like really. He was our only r and b singer but no one realised it.There was only the top 40 and top of the pops back then, we didn’t have different charts like the USA.
tamegomait Check out the true life story of a 5 year old boy Luke Ruehiman, Dr. Eli Lasch and others. George had a purpose which he fulfilled in a brilliant way. If you don't keep an open mind, you will never believe anything even if it happens in front of you.
MARITZA I think SCOTT WALKER IS THE BEST BRITISH MALE SINGER and one of the most talented artists of the 20th century. Beautiful man , beautiful voice!!!!!. NO REGRETS - THE WALKER BROTHERS - BRILLIANT!!!! George Micheal had Greek heritage but unfortunately I never heard him speak about it or acknowledge it. I never heard him speak one word of Greek not even to say ' HELLO' . I am sure he had many Greek fans and admirers. I like watching him dance on U tube Videos- Great dancer and RHYTHM all over the stage!!!! YOG Yiorgos Panayiodou . Thank you.for all your ENTERTAINING AND HUGE TALENT. I am sorry your life had a tragic end. YOUR legacy lives on and is immortal just like Scott WALKER.🤗👍🤗🤗👍👍💗💗🧡❤💕💟💜💜💜💜😍💚🧡❤💓💗💕🤗🤗🤗🤗💞💜💜💜💟❤💓💓💗🤗🤗🤗
@@gonzalopriale3293 George's dad didn't like him taking up singing as his career as being the only son in the family he had other plans for George. So he never accepted that George can sing and was devastated when George left school and started a band with Andrew and other friends. George speaks about this in many interviews. But later on when his dad saw the success George was becoming as an artist he has become very happy and proud of his son and has joined his mother to be at the shows
I’m 21 years old and I’m huge fan of george (and wham!! )his kindness his generosity his dances his everything he really had the full package when I hear his songs I’m both happy and sad☹️ I’m happy that I have the chance to hear his songs and dance to them (his songs always bring me joy and fun) but I’m really sad that I will not have the opportunity to see him in reality and maybe Give him a big hug and tell him he's the best And I won't have this opportunity to see him live): I wish I had been born in the 70's or 80's and could have enjoyed all this lovely artists live.. R.I.P gorge Michael your present you’re beautiful soul and your music will be always very missed love you forever 🙏🕊️
He was such a talented performer and beautiful on the Inside as well I saw an interview with him on TV I can't remember all the details but it was after his friend who he was with had died and I remember some thing about him saying people were mean
My daughter (RIP) was 21 when she died 6 years ago, she would love to hear me talk about the 70s and 80s. I was in my 20s in the 80s, best time 🎉of my life!! My daughter would say she wished she was born back then! I would reply, then I wouldn't be your mom! 😮 we'd both laugh ... sweet memories 💞🌹
My family lives in Miami. The round building at the end of the video is in Coconut Grove and every visit I look for it to remember George & this song. Me every time: “LOOK! The Careless Whisper building!!!”. What a gorgeous legacy George left us with his songwriting & that unforgettable, distinct powerhouse of a voice. I miss him.❤️
I do not give a shit about race, sexuality (Godamm I have not had sex in 8 years) I like it because it takes me back to when i loved music and a girlfriend I lost...but hey it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
I am 51 and even though I wasn't into this music when it came out it does make me reflect on the good times of the 1980s. We had no idea how good we had things. It sounds cliche but the world really is just getting worse and worse. I am glad I never had children because it is next to impossible to get ahead for the average person and owning a home is starting to become nothing more than a dream to far too many people in urban centers.
I'd be honored if some George Michael & 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of George's acclaimed hit PRAYING FOR TIME and also PURPLE RAIN by Prince on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
Oh. Yeah. I. Remember. Wham. Very. Well. The. Love. Of. Life. That. Unfortunately. Passed. In2012. She. Loved. Their. Music. Williams music goes back to the '80s. Great. Music. Then. Great. Music. Today
One of the best pop songs of all time. Was lucky enough to see Wham! live, George solo as well & I treasure the memories, what a phenomenal talent. Thanks to George & Andrew for the fun times and great music.
This is such a freakin tune!!! I am 51 and I remember this too like yesterday, and am now head booping and educating my kids on the George tunes...Rock on George RIP!!
I was a huge Wham fan in my teens and still am. So many magical, timeless songs. George had magnificent voice, really great charisma and super style. This is one of my favorite songs of many groups and solo artists ladies and blokes since the early 70's, I'm now 55. RIP Wham and George.
@@feliciak5560and he tastefully sang back up vocals on it. He was always happy to help other artists and stay in the background. I believe he produced several songs on Deon's album as writing them as you mentioned.

I’m 59 and this song is still my favorite as well! Makes me smile and dance around the house!! Seeing the video always kicks it up a few notches!! 💃 💃💃
What a talent...he is sadly missed!! A great upbeat pop song...no matter what mood you were in this would lift you right up and tap your feet. Miss the 80s. Such a carefree time.
What I wouldn’t give to go back to this era. Best time to be alive. I love this version of Freedom. The horns at the end are amazing. Thanks George and Andrew. You’re truly missed Yog!
@@CraftyGirlNC Actually he wasn't a full Greek. He was English/Greek Cypriot. Which is better i think. If he was full Greek he'd be an arrogant wankuh:) look at me i'm superstar don't even glance my way:))
Andrew was the true definition of a best friend. When I saw the Wham documentary he gave George his blessing to go solo. He helped George with his confidence almost like a mentor. I did not know they knew each other at ages 11 and 12. I thought they met in High School which is how most groups are formed.
the documentary really changed everything for me. I had no idea of what WHAM really was, I was young then. Watching it was so poignant, there is truly no talent like George - but without Andrew, the world wouldn't have had George. A BEAUTIFUL documentary!
This is my favorite song by Wham. It also is on my list of all time favorite songs. George Micheal was soooo talented. What a gift he was. Miss you. RIP
אומן גדול מהחיים ....באמת בהיקף של כשרון בלתי נתפס ....כל תקופת הנעורים סגדתי לשיריו המדהימים לקולו המיוחד ולמראהו הנאה .....פשוט יצירת מופת אמיתית של אומן ששר ורוקד עם כל הלב והנשמה .....למרות שלעיתים שקע למנלכוליה .....הדחיק הצידה והמשיך להפגין את כישוריו כאומן גדול מן השורה הראשונה .......אישית מאד כאב לי היום בו שמעתי שנפטר .....נוצר סדק מסויים בלב כיוון שהערצתי אותו בכל ליבי ונשמתי .....זה היה יום שחור בתולדות עולם המוסיקה לאבד אומן דגול שכזה ......וגם לאנושות ....כי בסהכ" היה אדם נדיב טוב לב חייכן ונאה .....אובדן גדול ללא שום ספק
I always enjoyed WHAM! and George Michael's music in the 80s. But it is only in recent years that I have begun to appreciate just how good his voice was. The fact that he could keep up in a duet with Aretha Franklin says it all. So sad he was gone too soon.
To this day George has that voice to make you Swoon... 😀 He will always be one of my favourite music artists. So blast this song as loud as you can, and dance like there is no tomorrow.
I love George Michael songs!! George Michael is the greatest singer in the world!! George Michael's voice is unbelievable I love listen to George Michael's music over and over and over again!! God-bless George Michael may he rest in peace And God-bless his family We love you Always and forever!!❤🙏😇✝️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌝🥰
@JPT "Do what"??? Must be rough having only two braincells that are constantly fighting one other... I sincerely pity You... especially Your miserable attitude.
In 1985 the chorus of this song, "If you're going to do it, do it right," helped to save my life and has been my guiding philosophy about life ever since. I have autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy. As with most lifelong painful and potentially lethal diseases, the great challenge of survival is not physical but psychological. Since November of 1985, I never waste five minutes on anything I don't feel 100% right about, even things that are relatively trivial. If I do anything I do it right and that has been true for over 30 years. I don't think I would have survived this disease without it. I thought so many times about writing to George to tell him what his song did for me, but I thought he got so much fan mail he'd probably never even read it. Now I wish to the bottom of my heart that I had written that letter. George, your songs were so imbued with love that even a f*** song was life-affirming and, in my case, life-saving.
George was great. He managed to engineer a big sound into his music production. I lived just outside of London in 1980 and saw his confidence and huge talent grow through the 80's and beyond. Talent with a capital T.
Hearing this song after so many years....what an unbelievable talent..his voice, his energy...simply amazing! He and Andrew were the best! What could have been....we will never know...miss him and his music...true talent...sweet person...always caring for others!! Miss you Mr. Michael...
Check out the Freddie Mercury tribute whe he sings Somebody To Love. I love Freddie too, but George's performance is outstanding! They're both singing in Heaven now. Pray I get to meet them both when I die! 😊
💯 AGREE! I always thought he looked SO gorgeous with his natural dark hair! This video was always my favorite! Everyone seems so happy. So much fun! George is 🔥! Andrew’s smile! Deon Estus slapping the bass! That bongo player is just jammin’ away! Wish I had been there! Magical!💖💖💖
I just love the way he whispers and squeezes his eyes shut at 219 , most gorgeous man on the planet , he was the best singer, performer dancer,he did it all , you are so missed George, never to be forgotten ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great song. Along with the duet he did with Aretha Franklin my two favorite George Michael songs. Simply incredible voice on this tune. Clear as a bell perfect pitch full of energy. It’s really an all-around great song.
I loved this song growing up and still do. Although now it makes me a little sad watching him in his prime. So young and energetic and to have him gone so young. He was and always will be a Legend.RIP George.
My mom passed two days ago. Before she passed I told her to say hello and give all my other departed relatives, furbabies, and George a big hug from me. :(
I am so so thankful for my parents. I'm almost 14 years old and I can proudly say that this was a song i loved in my (younger) childhood. I would always beg my parents to put this song on whenever they put the DVD in. Still love this song and George Michael R.I.P ❤️
I grew up with his music and loved the Wham Days! A happier time in my life. Such a beautiful clear voice, RIP, you will be missed, what a really sad year

Well said. It seems that without Andrew’s enthusiasm & encouragement we probably would never have had the sublime talent of George.

I absolutely miss him
And love him, and miss him and love him.❤❤❤😢😢❤❤

He has one of the best voices. Up there with Freddie Mercury. 💖
Definitely
Imma say he was better then freddie in everyway.
I agree
Better george had a much cleaner tone than freddy
@@deanviescas1705 son diferentes no tiene nada que ver uno con el otro
This is a superb Motown pastiche, absolutely sublime. Just close your eyes and you can see The Supremes singing it. Genius.
"If your gonna do it, do it right". Great quote by George Michael.😊😊😊
My all time favorite, feels he's still alive with his band.
What a talent...he is sadly missed!! A great upbeat pop song...no matter what mood you were in this would lift you right up and tap your feet. Miss the 80s. Such a carefree time.
The best decade in the last 80 years hands down!!
80s were the best decade hands down how wish i i could go back in time
What I wouldn’t give to go back to this era. Best time to be alive. I love this version of Freedom. The horns at the end are amazing. Thanks George and Andrew. You’re truly missed Yog!
SOMETHING SO PHYSICAL AND SIMPLE AND NATURAL ABOUT THIS SONG!!!!! I CANT LOOK AWAY OR STOP PLAYING IT!!!!!!!❤😂🎉
I feel the same way it's just how you want a man to feel like that about you first lAst only one you ask
George was such a handsome man like a Greek God.
Ridiculously handsome George was.
Well, he was Greek after all...❤
@@CraftyGirlNC Actually he wasn't a full Greek. He was English/Greek Cypriot. Which is better i think. If he was full Greek he'd be an arrogant wankuh:) look at me i'm superstar don't even glance my way:))
Andrew was the true definition of a best friend. When I saw the Wham documentary he gave George his blessing to go solo. He helped George with his confidence almost like a mentor. I did not know they knew each other at ages 11 and 12. I thought they met in High School which is how most groups are formed.
11 and 12 is high school age
the documentary really changed everything for me. I had no idea of what WHAM really was, I was young then. Watching it was so poignant, there is truly no talent like George - but without Andrew, the world wouldn't have had George. A BEAUTIFUL documentary!
Bawled my eyes. Pure talent. Miss the 80's. Gen X.
Hey! Could you tell me which documentary you are talking about?
@RossBg98 It's "wham!" on Netflix.
He had no clue how much he was loved, did he? Not just for his music, or his looks, but his humor, his generosity, his kindness.
This is my favorite song by Wham. It also is on my list of all time favorite songs. George Micheal was soooo talented. What a gift he was. Miss you. RIP
Im sure we all miss George Michael. He was so talented.
🕊 Phenomenal Talent 🍃
🕊 Magical Charm 🍃
This song is so upbeat and catchy. Its brilliance is undeniable.
אומן גדול מהחיים ....באמת בהיקף של כשרון בלתי נתפס ....כל תקופת הנעורים סגדתי לשיריו המדהימים לקולו המיוחד ולמראהו הנאה .....פשוט יצירת מופת אמיתית של אומן ששר ורוקד עם כל הלב והנשמה .....למרות שלעיתים שקע למנלכוליה .....הדחיק הצידה והמשיך להפגין את כישוריו כאומן גדול מן השורה הראשונה .......אישית מאד כאב לי היום בו שמעתי שנפטר .....נוצר סדק מסויים בלב כיוון שהערצתי אותו בכל ליבי ונשמתי .....זה היה יום שחור בתולדות עולם המוסיקה לאבד אומן דגול שכזה ......וגם לאנושות ....כי בסהכ" היה אדם נדיב טוב לב חייכן ונאה .....אובדן גדול ללא שום ספק
Rip George. You songs will never ever vanish from this world. What a voice you had. We will always cherish the good part of your life. Miss you yog
I am 70 and I hope I see George in heaven later !! What a treasure he was !!
@@wendylecker6937 I certainly will....just a gem of a person! Kind and made us all happy..
His music lives on
Few artists ever put their heart, soul & guts into the music. Rest in peace
I always enjoyed WHAM! and George Michael's music in the 80s. But it is only in recent years that I have begun to appreciate just how good his voice was. The fact that he could keep up in a duet with Aretha Franklin says it all. So sad he was gone too soon.
To this day George has that voice to make you Swoon... 😀 He will always be one of my favourite music artists. So blast this song as loud as you can, and dance like there is no tomorrow.
I love George Michael songs!! George Michael is the greatest singer in the world!! George Michael's voice is unbelievable I love listen to George Michael's music over and over and over again!! God-bless George Michael may he rest in peace And God-bless his family We love you Always and forever!!❤🙏😇✝️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌝🥰
@JPT
"Do what"???
Must be rough having only two braincells that are constantly fighting one other...
I sincerely pity You... especially Your miserable attitude.
Ok, take me back to the 80's immediately or take me out of this life...I've had enough.
I get it, really do.😢❤
R.I.P. Thank you for allowing us to grow up with you. Your performances, and talent will be missed ooxxoo!
In 1985 the chorus of this song, "If you're going to do it, do it right," helped to save my life and has been my guiding philosophy about life ever since. I have autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy. As with most lifelong painful and potentially lethal diseases, the great challenge of survival is not physical but psychological. Since November of 1985, I never waste five minutes on anything I don't feel 100% right about, even things that are relatively trivial. If I do anything I do it right and that has been true for over 30 years. I don't think I would have survived this disease without it. I thought so many times about writing to George to tell him what his song did for me, but I thought he got so much fan mail he'd probably never even read it. Now I wish to the bottom of my heart that I had written that letter. George, your songs were so imbued with love that even a f*** song was life-affirming and, in my case, life-saving.
incredible voice gorgeous George Michael.
More than 40 years have passed and still going on. Endless music
Miss that voice. Powerful hits every note crisp and effortlessly. Not many artists who can truly sing anymore
....or write, arrange, produce and perform their own songs!
Hue Nhuan, unbelievable talent, our precious George. He is so missed by all of us😢
George was great. He managed to engineer a big sound into his music production. I lived just outside of London in 1980 and saw his confidence and huge talent grow through the 80's and beyond. Talent with a capital T.
Hearing this song after so many years....what an unbelievable talent..his voice, his energy...simply amazing! He and Andrew were the best! What could have been....we will never know...miss him and his music...true talent...sweet person...always caring for others!! Miss you Mr. Michael...
This great song takes me back in time, when life was simple and carefree, when I was young.
Wow, I think he may be at the peak of his beauty in this video.
He was getting there...... The next several years after this he was insanely hot I mean insanely hot
@@Janine-vi1xn ok, I'll check it out if you insist. 🙂
Check out the Freddie Mercury tribute whe he sings Somebody To Love. I love Freddie too, but George's performance is outstanding! They're both singing in Heaven now. Pray I get to meet them both when I die! 😊
No the monkey video!!
💯 AGREE!
I always thought he looked SO gorgeous with his natural dark hair! This video was always my favorite! Everyone seems so happy. So much fun! George is 🔥!
Andrew’s smile!
Deon Estus slapping the bass!
That bongo player is just jammin’ away!
Wish I had been there!
Magical!💖💖💖
I just love the way he whispers and squeezes his eyes shut at 219 , most gorgeous man on the planet , he was the best singer, performer dancer,he did it all , you are so missed George, never to be forgotten ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unforgettable, magic, unique, great 80s...thanks for all, George
Great song. Along with the duet he did with Aretha Franklin my two favorite George Michael songs.
Simply incredible voice on this tune. Clear as a bell perfect pitch full of energy.
It’s really an all-around great song.
Love these two men. The talent, the energy...George had presence!!
Hi Vivi
I loved this song growing up and still do. Although now it makes me a little sad watching him in his prime. So young and energetic and to have him gone so young. He was and always will be a Legend.RIP George.
My mom passed two days ago. Before she passed I told her to say hello and give all my other departed relatives, furbabies, and George a big hug from me. :(
I'm so sorry for your mom! Wish you all the best.....
❤❤❤
The sheer joy in his movement!!!!!!! What a gift!!
thanks for all your music and courage.
Wow even the audience is in sync. I've never seen that before! Good editing and choreography.
I wish I could have been there!
Soul, funk, gospel and pop wrapped into one beautiful package. Love this. ❤️
Great song from the brilliant wham. Amazing voice, super talented artist. You truly are one of the greatest George. Miss you ♥️.
George Michael could have had any girl on the planet but he was not that way
thanks for the memories...RIP GEORGE
I am so so thankful for my parents. I'm almost 14 years old and I can proudly say that this was a song i loved in my (younger) childhood. I would always beg my parents to put this song on whenever they put the DVD in. Still love this song and George Michael R.I.P ❤️
So awesome to see the younger generation listening to this great music... Bless your parents for opening up that world for you.. Keep rocking it out 🤟
May I ask what dvd?
80 s vibes...the best time...❤❤❤
I grew up with his music and loved the Wham Days! A happier time in my life. Such a beautiful clear voice, RIP, you will be missed, what a really sad year
What a legend George Michael big hole in the heart the day he left us 😢
On Christmas my GF woke me up to tell me George had passed away. I was devastated.
Definitely need to use better grammar if you're gonna use the sentence 'George Micheal Big Hole' 😂
Such a beautiful man with a tremendous talent. You will be forever missed xxx
RIP George Michael (June 25, 1963 - December 25, 2016), aged 53
You will be remembered as a legend.
He's voice was just unique
