    Michael admitted to being nervous, but he knew there was no point in trying to copy Franklin's style. "Nobody can emulate Aretha Franklin," he said. "It's stupid to try. I just tried to stay in character, keep it simple - it was very understated in comparison to what she did."

Not only that this song went all the way to hit the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in America, but the song also went to hit the #1 spot on the British Pop chart as well during the spring of 1987.

    George brought his A-game for this duet...still had his swag and just dis his thing and did not try to over do it...complimented Aretha's powerhouse vocals well. You should react to George's song, "I Want Your Sex". Title sounds "dirty" but it isn't actually dirty. It was a popular bop back in the day!

    This is one of my favorite songs from 1987.
    On the screen behind Aretha and George Michael were Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Sony & Cher, and Ike & Tina Turner; other famous duos.
    I think you should check out of those famous duets, like Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "I Could Build My Whole World Arounds You", "You're All I Need to Get By", "Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing". Tammi Terrell's career was about to take off when she died and Marvin Gaye was in deep depression for a long time before coming out on the other side as a changed man and a changed artist.

    George Michael did a duet (backing vocals) on an absolutely beautiful song called "HEAVEN HELP ME"
    with a singer named Deon Estus from 1989.
    It is a gorgeous song but rarely gets played on the radio because it was a lesser known song from the late 1980s.

    @canonfodder2068 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    🥰I love it. George did so many great duets--everybody wanted to sing with him, it seems. My favorite is Mary J Blige and George Michael, "As" . A danceable track he did with Whiney Houston on her Greatest Hits 2000 album--"If I Told You" is fun. He was so active in charity concerts that a bunch of duets exist that are live only. More duets--check out crooner, Tony Bennet. He released several recent duet albums. George has a duet with him, but I would do Tony and Lady Gaga duet or early Tony in his prime like "Fly me to the Moon."

    OMG! High in the top of my list of duets. Little known fact, Clive Davis, super record exec wanted George Michael to do a duet with Whitney Houston, but somehow George wanted to do it with the queen of soul and he got his wish. This song hit #1 on the billboard hot 100 in 1987

    I had to watch this twice, these two great singers together was pure heaven! This song has been part of my workout routine for YEARS! George and Elton made a GREAT pair also with Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. I'm so happy you finally did this one.

    Finally you’ve gotten to this jewel. Now you are ready to other fantastic duos of George, such as “As” with Mary J Bligde, Dont’t let the sun go down on me with Elton, “If i told you that” wit Whitney or yet the many covers he made his own like “Somebody to love”, “Killer”, “Roxanne”, “Miss Sarajevo”, “I can’t make you love me”… well, I could spend to whole night writting down great song by him that simply can’t go wrong!😉

    You need to have a picture of George on your back wall! One of the greatest singers song writers of all time. Selling over 125 million récords in his life time. He had some impressive duets in his carear, with Stevie, Wonder, Smokey, Whitney, Ray Charles, Elton, Queen,Mary J, and the list goes on. BTW, this song gave Aretha her first and only number 1 hit in the UK,

  • @charlier711

    One of my favorite duos - 2 legends. I read where George was really nervous about performing with the Queen of Soul. But what a groove and a voice pairing. Best of the 80s. Hope they're impressing everyone in heaven with this one.

    If you love George Michael’s voice and impassioned performance style, you’ve gotta check out his cover of Queen’s “Somebody To Love”, which he sang with the surviving members of that band at the 1992 Freddie Mercury tribute concert. It is EPIC, and it’s probably the only Queen cover that’s even better than the original. Seriously, that performance is legendary and will convert anybody who still doubts how great a singer he was.

  • @shayla-lee
    @shayla-lee ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Fun fact! You would think that George Michael's people pursued Aretha's people to do this duet. WRONG! it was Aretha's crew (more specifically Clive Davis) who reached out to George's people to do a duet with Aretha. Everyone was blown away by George Michael's performance during 1985's Apollo Theatre performance in Harlem NY. Which George was also invited to - not the other way around! Smokey Robinson and George Michael did a duet together of GM's Careless Whisper. And George Michael did a duet with Stevie Wonder during the evening as well! From then on, George was respected as a true soul singer! And this song won the 1988 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group and gave Aretha her first number one hit in over 20 years - at that time. :)

  • @patcurrie9888
    @patcurrie9888 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Still hoping for Aretha's performance of "A Natural Woman"at the Kennedy Center Honors for Carole King, who wrote the song. One of Aretha's most powerful recorded performances from her last couple of years.

    This great duet is always so uplifting. Thanks to George for persuading Aretha to sing with him. He was a deep fan of Soul /R&B and often in live concerts performed tracks from Stevie Wonders ‘Songs in the key of life’ and recorded ‘As’ for a duet with Mary J Blige.
    Other comments are spot on , you must checkout Eurythmics with Aretha Franklin on ‘Sisters are doing it for themselves’.
    R.I.P Aretha & George ❤️. Heartfelt Thanks to you both for the tremendous legacy of music you’ve both left for us to keep enjoying 🙏🙏🙏

    Guys, this is amazing from two top tier musicians. You’re both asking for more duets well then try this one on for size. You reacted to a song about a month ago that’s good, but when you hear it with the following duet you’ll be blown away. React to George Michael and Elton John singing Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me. It’s recorded live at one of George’s concerts. It’s mind blowing how these two can reproduce a classic and make it a masterpiece. PLEASE give it a go. Keep it up guys
