    Aretha was such a fan of George’s that she wanted him to write and produce an album for her. When George met Aretha he was barely 21 and was so overwhelmed because Aretha was one of his idols. This duet gave Aretha her first number one in the UK of her career. And she rose to the top after being off the charts for many many years. This was a dream team. I love this!

      She did not ask George to write this. Here she is talking about how it came to be on rare MTV interview, she was complementary of George and predicted would be a hit. She had a lot of hits in the 80s, starting with her being in Blues Brother movie, #1 R&B (Get it right) written by the great Luther Vandross and then a sting of hits (Freeway of Love, Who’s Zoomin Who, Jumpin Jack Flash, Jimmy Lee) after this too. Great duet. th-cam.com/video/TPksBRJZQR4/w-d-xo.html

    @L G George did NOT seek Aretha for this song! NO! Clive Davis APPROACHED George to collaborate with Aretha. Yes! They went looking for George. They asked George to write AND produce a song for this duet, but George was too nervous to b/c he admired Aretha so much. Understand that George was VERY respected in the R&B community and his talent was recognized all over at a very early time.

    I clicked on this video SO FAST my fingers almost snapped 😄. THANK YOU for continuing to do George Michael videos. He's my favorite male pop star of all time and of course Aretha is a LEGEND. Fun fact: this single went to #1 on the Billboard chart and was released right between George leaving Wham and starting his solo career. This was the transition to his blockbuster album Faith which would be released the following year and go on to dominate the next two years on the charts. So this song always felt like one established icon (Aretha) anointing the next big pop star (George).

It’s featured on Ray Charles album Genius in Friends much more of a recent recording. George’s voice aged like fine wine. It’s just my favorite voice of all time.

Most people wouldn't even try to duet with the (still and eternal) queen of soul, George did it flawlessly and you can see in the video he's in total awe of her.
    George was an amazing vocalist as well as song writer, he always deserved more credit.

    In 1989, George Michael was the first white artist to win Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist at the American Music Awards and he was also the first white male vocalist to ever record a song with Aretha Franklin.

    You need to react to Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox in Sister Are Doing It For Themselves. You'll love their duet together. Two powerful women singing a powerful song.

    I love this song by two of the great singers who have sadly passed, RIP Aretha Franklin and George Michaels. Their voices just blend together beautifully, this I think is one of the best duets ever, their energy and the balance between their voices is perfect. Your reactions, what you said everything is spot on and I am so glad I am still awake to watch this video. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love hugs and peace to everyone Mary-Ellen UK

    The background when it changed was marvin gaye and tammi terrel, then it changed to sonny and cher. This song has always been on my playlist along with her song freeway of love.

    RIP To the queen of soul! Her catalog of music is immense. Her social activism is unmatched by a singular human. RIP George Michael a ground breaking singer who truly came into his zone once he went solo from the band Wham!

    "The duet I didn't know I needed"! Exactly! You wouldn't necessarily think of putting them together would you but there you go. And the fact that George held his own next to Aretha speaks volumes to the man's talent. If you haven't already you should check out Freedom by him or Somebody to Love which he sang with Queen as a tribute to Freddie Mercury.

    Worth a listen, if you haven’t… is when Aretha sang in honour of Carole King at the Kennedy Honors. Obama cried… Carole lost it..: awesome performance as well. Check it out!

    Both had natural effortless talent no need to try,no need for auto tune,the same live as on record.please do Aretha Franklin think from the movie the blues brothers.
