These babies are so young they're wondering who sang it first. If they only knew how many of their generation were conceived to SIR Elton or SIR Michael 's music.
I think it is great that they feel what we all felt listening to this great music. This is what GREAT MUSIC does. It can jump generations, age and time. This song will be relevant when we have people on Mars.
Elton said this was the true test of his mettle after getting sober to sing this song with George. It is Elton's song originally, but he was terrified that he wasn't even going to have a piano to hide behind in this performance. He said that he was stoked when the crowd went crazy when George introduced him (as if he would need an intro anyway) But the live performance sounded so good that they decided to release it as a single which shot to #2 on the billboard hot 100. I am sure this being his first performance, Elton was happy to have George take on most of the vocals but he had nothing to worry about as we see here. Miss my George. Nobody like him now.
@@sandyleewhite It definitely was a big moment for Elton and generous of George to do this for his friend. I think George donated all of his royalties of this single to charity if I remember correctly. But he did that with a number of his big singles. Can you imagine how much money just this single brought in. But that was our George.
Eltons voice changed dramatically since his early years, honestly think George's voice was betterment for this songs at this time...George such a great singer on the highest level
This is def an Elton John song. But this was a George Michael concert and he brought Elton in to blow everybody's mind. It worked, don't you think? Beautiful
This was a reintroduction of sorts, With elton performing at this huge event soon after getting sober and getting out of rehab. George Michael did not have to do this for Elton, but he knew Elton still had so much to say and a lot of music left to write and knew something like this would do wonders for Elton . George Michael got good karma in return as well . This song- released as a single -gave George Michael a huge hit song as well. Sisters doing it for themselves! ❤🏳️🌈
“Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” is a song written by Elton John and his lyricist Bernie Taupin. The song was originally recorded in 1974 by Elton John for his studio album, Caribou.
George is a master at covering songs his friends have done. He sang Queens "Somebody to love " at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. Knocked it out of the park
Elton's song! They were close friends, and Elton was a huge inspiration to George growing up. One of the great duets ever. *PLEASE* do Elton John's "Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding." It is extraordinary!
KENN if you can find an ELTON John CD it's called Good BYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD and the FIRST TRACK is FUNERAL For A FRIEND and LOVE Lies BLEEDING and it's a great CD
Yes, this is Elton's song, but even though I love his original, this version moves me even more. Such a phenomenal performance. We all miss George so much! Gone too soon!
1000% agree Bernie Taupin has written a lot of Eltons greatest songs and is a music genius with words. Elton said Bernie would write all the words to the songs and send them to him to make the music to them and that's how they did it every time and it just worked like they were in the room writing the songs together.
Bernie wrote all of his songs actually. at first they worked together by sending each other letters. Bernie will write it in the paper, send it to Elton's place and Elton will write the composition. eventually they started living together because it's much more effective to work that way
Yep...Bernie wrote the lyrics and Elton did the music....Bernie is extremely talented and gets sometimes pushed to the side, but without him Elton wouldn't have the hits he had
Unlike George Michael who fully wrote the majority of his songs ever since he started with Wham, There was only a few he co-wrote with his Wham partner. Man was a truly a gifted singer songwriter and producer 100%!
Loved Aretha’s n George’s duet which won the Grammy, but my fav will always be “As” with Mary J. Blige. George collaborated with so many great ones. Ray Charles “Blame it on the sun” the best.
Love the way y'all reviewed one of my absolute favorites! Y'all killed it. I miss GM too. Him and Elton are two of the greatest to ever come out of GB.
I’m 34, my sister is 48. When we’re drinking hanging out she’ll play her 80’s list, it’s all upbeat and then this song comes up and she’ll stand up and sway to this song and even says the part, “mr Elton John!” She loves this song! I love it too now!
@@lewisner my brother died in 2007 aged 42. He collapsed and died after an undiagnosed clot in his leg went to his lung. My dad had died two years previously and the shock for my mum triggered Alzheimer’s, of which she died from. I have no other family apart from my children and my daughter has serious heart problems which will mean she has to have open heart surgery. I went from having a childhood family to none. When you want to say ‘remember when’ nobody is there.
Definitely Elton John’s song. And even though George Michael was at the height of his vocal power and Elton John had already lost his best fastball by that time, you can see George defer to Elton. Seems like he had a bunch of respect for Elton and was so happy to be singing with him. Great version of this song.
I saw Elton in concert 3 years ago, and he was spectacular! He played for almost 3 hrs and the only break he took was to walk to the front of the stage to autograph everything the crowd gave to him. He didn’t miss a beat or a note. He hasn’t lost anything! I was amazed at how good he was.
George idolized Elton when he was a teenager and meeting him was George's dream come true -- but they became extremely close friends until the end of George's life.
One of the best duets in pop history! R.I.P. George Michael - now it’s 5 years and 4 days that he passed away much too early. I am still so sorry and thankful that people like you keep him and his music alive in a younger generation… with your great reactions
The arrangement for this is spectacular and super polished. Is one of those instances, where the live performance is just as good, or even better than the original studio recording.
OK, imagine: you're attending a George Michael concert. He breaks into this song, a classic Elton John song. Then, out of nowhere..."ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elton John!" That's what this was. An amazing surprise duet for the audience.
One of the best duets ever. He's gone too soon, such talent, amazing voice!! Asia you're correct, Elton John released that song in the 70's, but this was taken to a new level with George singing
I MISS GEORGE SO MUCH. HE IS MY FAVOURITE ARTIST, EVER. IT WAS 5 YEARS AGO WE LOST HIM ON CHRISTMAS. I HOPE HE'S UP THERE MAKING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WITH ALL HIS FRIENDS. AND, I DEEPLY HOPE HE IS RESTING IN PEACE🙏🏼
I love this video mainly because it signaled the return of Elton John as he had not made any public appearances for over a year to concentrate on his sobriety after going to rehab after years and years of substance abuse. It was amazing how much more healthy he looked after losing weight and not being as pale looking. It was also so different seeing him in just a jacket and baseball cap instead of one of his flamboyant outfits he was known for.
Asia is correct, this is an Elton song. It was originally recorded in 1974 by Elton John for his studio album Caribou and was released as a single that peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, {Had this in my 45 collection when it first came out.......one of my personal top 5 songs of all time..........so glad you reacted to this!}
Elton and George go good together. They both have those powerful, soulful voices. George doesn’t get credit for being so huge. He owned the late eighties. It’s a shame he got chewed up and spit out. All his songs were strong and unique while still being mainstream and palatable to the masses.
One of Elton John’s greatest songs . From his 1974 album Caribou. Number 2 song of the year. Was stuck behind John Denver’s “Annie’s Song” at no. 2 for a month. At Live Aid, George Michael came out and sang the song while with the EJ band. Fantastic song that was brought to a whole new generation by GM. An iconic song.
This is a Song by Elton and George sang it during his concert as a surprise. The audience had no idea that Elton would appear to sing the second half. What an awesome surprise they all had. Sleep peacefully, George.
I LOVE them both. Been a huge Elton John fan since he came to the States. Both voices gave me chills, George's voice sounded so Pure & Clear. Elton's more bluesy. Angelic voices. I think this is the best "Live in Concert" duet in history. (Yes, I said it.... in history!)
Yes !!!!!!!!! Epic is the word, 2 of the best voices on the planet, live, together...doesn't get better than this!!.I have seen Elton, 3 times in concert and remember them like it was yesterday!! This is an Elton original but George Michael sings it like it is his own! Fabulous!!
George was just ridiculously talented - and by far one of the greatest performers and singers of our generation. Please, please, please do George's cover of Somebody to Love from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at Wembley Stadium. 72,00 fans singing and clapping in unison - is just an EPIC concert to watch. Also his song and video for One More Try is just beautiful. And Praying for Time is a MUST listen. Thank you and Merry Christmas from Canada :)
If you love to here George Michael live, than you must must hear the concert of hope in 1993. One more try in that concert, so beautiful, and father figure also. All the songs of GM in the concert wow
My favorite male singer George . God has given us tremendous talents. Elton John and Bernie Taupin. What an amazing due in song writing and music. I've been listening to Elton for 51 years...
Incredible harmony between the two artists, lyrics, rhythm, harmony, melody, body expression and in the end rose petals and standing ovation for a true perfect work of art in an unforgettable night for the public..
Very sad that George Michael is gone. I am jealous of everybody in the crowd who got to see such an event, what a happening for sure! Great reaction guys as always, TY.
If you had told us then that one of these 2 guys would not be with us in 2021, I think we would have guessed it would be Elton who passed. This was an Elton John song from the 70's.
That embrace at the end always gets to me. 😢. This is my vote for the best duet ever. George set it off in the beginning and Elton took it to another and level and then they both just took it to another universe. Epic. 👏
George is definitely one of the best singers of all time! I love that you both love him so much too! You must watch the duet between him and Whitney Houston! "If I Told You That." It's amazing!
It is always said that "Life is too short"... But I will leave this world one day atleast knowing I lived my life during what I believe whas the best when it comes to music, originality and togetherness. Thank you 1960's and 1970's for what you gave to me and so many others.. You both are at the #1 spot on me watching "reactions".. I've heard and watched these videos for years, so I honestly watch the face and reactions of Asia when she sees these for the first time ( no offense B.J.).. Your facial expressions sometimes, the tilting of your head and the goosebumps you get brings me to tears so may times.. I'm not sure where it all went wrong, but we are more devided now, than we were back then.. God bless the two of you, I wish you were there when it was so loving and pure......
Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" is a song written by Elton John and his lyricist Bernie Taupin. It was originally recorded by Elton John for his eighth studio album, Caribou (1974), and was released as a single that peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart. A version of the song recorded live as a duet between Elton John and George Michael reached number one in the UK in 1991 and in the US in 1992.
Two iconic and legendary artists who’s voices are just so unique. You know who they are, on the radio, the moment you hear their voices. George Michael passed way to soon! I love that song!
Elton was coming out of rehab, his 1st live performance and his friend George eased him back in. ❤ Early in Elton's career, he wrote the MUSIC to LYRICS delivered to him by Bernie Taupin. Another words, Bernie is synonymous with Elton and many younger gens don't know this. Later Elton would put pen to paper but still collaborates with Bernie. We 70s rockers know this because we didn't have internet, read album covers and sleeves loaded with info including song writing credits. 😁 George loved to cover great music and what a voice and he has a few great ones of his own. "Freedom" is powerful. Missing him...🥺

I think it is great that they feel what we all felt listening to this great music. This is what GREAT MUSIC does. It can jump generations, age and time. This song will be relevant when we have people on Mars.
Fun fact, George Michael was 11 years old when Elton and Bernie Taupin wrote this song.
And I graduated from H.S that year Capitan Fantastic Biggest album.
Elton John knew the talent of George Michael and acknowledged he was actually a better singer
This was at a AIDS concert and Elton just literally came out on rehab straight to this show , best friends. Best duet EVER
It’s George’s Cover to Cover tour 1991
It's Elton. RIP, beautiful George.
He was so well respected. He could sing with ANYONE.
George Michael was one of the absolute best voices in the 20th century. Hard to believe he has been gone 5 years now.
On Christmas, no less.
💙💙💙💙
💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is Elton Johns song
I miss him. Beautiful voice and a beautiful soul 💜
The older I get the more I understand the talent George Michael was. Fantastic.
YESSUH😊❤
Video doesn't do George Michael live justice. Such a huge difference. He was absolute electricity. Blessed to see him twice.
It was an Elton John song but George Michael made it a massive hit of his own.
My mama was a HUGE GM fan!! She'd laugh and say "all the beautiful men are gay! But LORD just LOOK at this gorgeous man!!" 🤣🤣
Two English legends … epic singers
Elton said this was the true test of his mettle after getting sober to sing this song with George.

Thank you for sharing that with us, because when I saw Elton smile when he first came out, it did seem like such a moment for him!!!
@@sandyleewhite It definitely was a big moment for Elton and generous of George to do this for his friend.

Imagine going to a George Michael concert - and then freaking Elton John shows up as well. It's almost too much awesomeness to handle.
I was in the audience at this concert. It was epic from beginning to end.
“Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” is a song written by Elton John and his lyricist Bernie Taupin. The song was originally recorded in 1974 by Elton John for his studio album, Caribou.
I always stuggle with my emotions when I hear this song. The magnitude of the loss of George hits me every time.
I totally get you
I still cry at the thought
George Michael could touch the soul with his voice.
❤😥
Asias face says it all. George was one of the best voices of all time.
George is a master at covering songs his friends have done. He sang Queens "Somebody to love " at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. Knocked it out of the park
Yes! That was an INCREDIBLE performance, just epic!!
Definitely. Well worth a listen in its own right.
The highlight of the night
Probably the best next to the original version! George killed it a the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert! 👌🔥♥️😊
The only one who didn't murder a queen song that day, the only one who had the range and power to do a queen song justice
One of the best duos in the history of duos.. Saw George Michael on his 25th anniversary tour.. miss him so....
George Michael's voice was perfect.
Yes. And it STILL is. ✌
George Michael live is better than any recording he ever made. What an exceptional voice.
Elton's song! They were close friends, and Elton was a huge inspiration to George growing up. One of the great duets ever. *PLEASE* do Elton John's "Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding." It is extraordinary!
I think thats why it was such an amazing performance....two very talented people start feeding into each other, trying to go higher and higher
One of the greatest live performances...... !!!!
i have the CD of ELTON'S it's called GOOD BYE YELLOW Brick road and the first track is FUNERAL For A FRIEND and LOVE Lies BLEEDING
KENN if you can find an ELTON John CD it's called Good BYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD and the FIRST TRACK is FUNERAL For A FRIEND and LOVE Lies BLEEDING and it's a great CD
@@rodhanson7112 Yes, I have had that LP and CD for the last 50 years, which is why I recommemded it.
Yes, this is Elton's song, but even though I love his original, this version moves me even more. Such a phenomenal performance. We all miss George so much! Gone too soon!
Don't forget about Bernie Taupin
The extra voice adds dimension.
This is a wonderful collaboration.
But we should never forget the writer of the lyrics is Bernie Taupin. He is brilliant.

If you haven’t reacted to George Michael and Aretha Franklin’s “I knew you were waiting” you should. Such a solid song 💕
GREAT suggestion!!! LOVE that song/video!!! They're amazing!!
Yes!! 💯💯
Loved Aretha’s n George’s duet which won the Grammy, but my fav will always be “As” with Mary J. Blige. George collaborated with so many great ones. Ray Charles “Blame it on the sun” the best.
Great suggestions!🥰🔥❤
An excellent collaboration! Love this song!! ♥️♥️♥️😊
61 years old now and still get chills every time I hear this song
Love the way y'all reviewed one of my absolute favorites! Y'all killed it. I miss GM too. Him and Elton are two of the greatest to ever come out of GB.
When Elton comes on stage,you know who was the man.The two of them were too powerful for one stage.
The reaction from the crowd when he calls out Elton John always gives me chills. Elton is one of my all time favorite singers.
I’m 34, my sister is 48. When we’re drinking hanging out she’ll play her 80’s list, it’s all upbeat and then this song comes up and she’ll stand up and sway to this song and even says the part, “mr Elton John!” She loves this song! I love it too now!
My sister was 13 years older than me and she died of Motor Neurone Disease at 54 in 2000. Treasure your family while you have them.

They made me cry when they did this together🤎 such emotion in this song 😢
George was awesome. He had his problems but he was an amazing singer. RIP George.
I was AT this concert - the place *erupted* when Sir Elton walked onstage (the video doesn't do it justice)!
Asia had hearts in her eyes the entire time!!! I’m dying!!!❤️
She was stuck
Definitely Elton John’s song. And even though George Michael was at the height of his vocal power and Elton John had already lost his best fastball by that time, you can see George defer to Elton. Seems like he had a bunch of respect for Elton and was so happy to be singing with him. Great version of this song.

Oh wow! Didn't know that.
George michael is real superstar legend
A candle in the wind is another great tribute song sir Elton sung in respect to Marlin Munroe. A beautiful song.
We don't need movies anymore when we have classics like to watch together. Keep em coming. Ty
One of the best duets ever. He's gone too soon, such talent, amazing voice!! Asia you're correct, Elton John released that song in the 70's, but this was taken to a new level with George singing
One of the most iconic duos of all time. This performance was absolutely magical!
I MISS GEORGE SO MUCH. HE IS MY FAVOURITE ARTIST, EVER. IT WAS 5 YEARS AGO WE LOST HIM ON CHRISTMAS. I HOPE HE'S UP THERE MAKING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WITH ALL HIS FRIENDS. AND, I DEEPLY HOPE HE IS RESTING IN PEACE🙏🏼
RIP. Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou aka George Michael June 25th 1963 - December 25th 2016.
That man could really sing.
I love this video mainly because it signaled the return of Elton John as he had not made any public appearances for over a year to concentrate on his sobriety after going to rehab after years and years of substance abuse. It was amazing how much more healthy he looked after losing weight and not being as pale looking. It was also so different seeing him in just a jacket and baseball cap instead of one of his flamboyant outfits he was known for.
My Favorite Elton song! Ever!! Then add the the gorgeous talented Mr. Michael...what magic!!🔥
Asia is correct, this is an Elton song. It was originally recorded in 1974 by Elton John for his studio album Caribou and was released as a single that peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, {Had this in my 45 collection when it first came out.......one of my personal top 5 songs of all time..........so glad you reacted to this!}
⬆ This.
It reached number 16 in the U.K. and only managed number 1 in one country. The version with George reached number 1 in 15 countries.
IT IS an Elton John song he just dropped into George's concert to help with the cover version George did.
Elton and George go good together. They both have those powerful, soulful voices. George doesn’t get credit for being so huge. He owned the late eighties. It’s a shame he got chewed up and spit out. All his songs were strong and unique while still being mainstream and palatable to the masses.
Definitely an Elton John song first but they're collaboration together there's no words that Talent!
This was a heaven on earth moment for me. My two fave singers singing one of the most timeless songs of all time. Heaven.
One of Elton John’s greatest songs . From his 1974 album Caribou. Number 2 song of the year. Was stuck behind John Denver’s “Annie’s Song” at no. 2 for a month. At Live Aid, George Michael came out and sang the song while with the EJ band. Fantastic song that was brought to a whole new generation by GM. An iconic song.
This is a Song by Elton and George sang it during his concert as a surprise. The audience had no idea that Elton would appear to sing the second half. What an awesome surprise they all had. Sleep peacefully, George.

This is an original by Elton john. but the collaboration is phenomenal.
I LOVE them both. Been a huge Elton John fan since he came to the States. Both voices gave me chills, George's voice sounded so Pure & Clear. Elton's more bluesy. Angelic voices. I think this is the best "Live in Concert" duet in history. (Yes, I said it.... in history!)
It is, hands down. 🤗 Can't believe it only made it to #2.
One of the best collaborations in music history 💕💕💕 ***RIP George Micheal, your voice lives for an eternity, in your music***
🥰🔥💖😭
Jesus To A Child is another banger by George Michael. "As" is another great collaboration song by George Michael and Mary J. Blige!
I think it's one of his most personal songs, it was absolutely heartbreaking when I learned about the meaning of song
💔😥
This gives me so nostalgic vibe. I would love to return to the '90s.
Yes !!!!!!!!! Epic is the word, 2 of the best voices on the planet, live, together...doesn't get better than this!!.I have seen Elton, 3 times in concert and remember them like it was yesterday!! This is an Elton original but George Michael sings it like it is his own! Fabulous!!
Iconic duet iconic song iconic voices George Michael just dammmmmn

They released a live single out of this, and it was a monster hit in the early 90's, absolutely massive airplay
Incredible harmony between the two artists, lyrics, rhythm, harmony, melody, body expression and in the end rose petals and standing ovation for a true perfect work of art in an unforgettable night for the public..
One of my absolute favorites and I miss George terribly
If I listen to this song every day, I think my life will be better 🙌
This is Elton Johns song 100%! George Michael just helped make it even better!!!!!!!!
This was originally Elton's. He put this song out in the '70's. They kill this song together. It's just "wow"!
It reached number 16 in the U.K. with just Elton and only managed number 1 in one country. The version with George reached number 1 in 15 countries.
Very sad that George Michael is gone. I am jealous of everybody in the crowd who got to see such an event, what a happening for sure! Great reaction guys as always, TY.
I have listened to this exact performance about 15 times lately, it's so beautiful!!!
Two huge musical icons together.....
If you had told us then that one of these 2 guys would not be with us in 2021, I think we would have guessed it would be Elton who passed.
This was an Elton John song from the 70's.
Thanks a million for reacting....two greats...I cried...literally- golden 60 s and 90s
I love this live version. Gorgeous voices
One of the sickest performances ever! Epic song. I was around when Elton John sang it himself it was really good too. But this live. Wow!
This is an Elton song that show cased the beauty of George Michaels' voice
That embrace at the end always gets to me. 😢. This is my vote for the best duet ever. George set it off in the beginning and Elton took it to another and level and then they both just took it to another universe. Epic. 👏
George is definitely one of the best singers of all time! I love that you both love him so much too! You must watch the duet between him and Whitney Houston! "If I Told You That." It's amazing!
Love George Michael to bits but Elton John's voice is out of this world!!
This is a Performance for the ages. Two extraordinary talents giving a crowd in Chicago, a night that they’ll never forget.True greatness!
It is always said that "Life is too short"... But I will leave this world one day atleast knowing I lived my life during what I believe whas the best when it comes to music, originality and togetherness. Thank you 1960's and 1970's for what you gave to me and so many others.. You both are at the #1 spot on me watching "reactions".. I've heard and watched these videos for years, so I honestly watch the face and reactions of Asia when she sees these for the first time ( no offense B.J.).. Your facial expressions sometimes, the tilting of your head and the goosebumps you get brings me to tears so may times.. I'm not sure where it all went wrong, but we are more devided now, than we were back then.. God bless the two of you, I wish you were there when it was so loving and pure......
Asia your reaction is priceless
I saw George Michael in concert in the 80’s. Fantastic!😊
Has me in tears. RIP George Michael😢💕
It was an Elton John song and George Michael collaborated with him on the song. Amazing performance! Thank you!!
Love George Michael! You should check out when he sang "Somebody To Love" with Queen.

A version of the song recorded live as a duet between Elton John and George Michael reached number one in the UK in 1991 and in the US in 1992.
Two iconic and legendary artists who’s voices are just so unique. You know who they are, on the radio, the moment you hear their voices. George Michael passed way to soon! I love that song!
It's an Elton John song!!
It featured George Michael as a guest. Get it right!🙂 Jus kiddi'n
It was a joy to watch you both share this with us all. TY😌
George takes over the stage with Elton in this little rendition-I think!!
r.i.p GEORGE Michael you were a GREAT TALENT
Elton was coming out of rehab, his 1st live performance and his friend George eased him back in. ❤
Early in Elton's career, he wrote the MUSIC to LYRICS delivered to him by Bernie Taupin. Another words, Bernie is synonymous with Elton and many younger gens don't know this. Later Elton would put pen to paper but still collaborates with Bernie. We 70s rockers know this because we didn't have internet, read album covers and sleeves loaded with info including song writing credits. 😁
George loved to cover great music and what a voice and he has a few great ones of his own. "Freedom" is powerful.
Missing him...🥺
George and Elton.. Legends!
I don't know why but that performance always makes me tear up!! AMAZING ❤
Two of the best at thier best..
