Caught a George Michael documentary on All 4 and just reminded me what an amazing singer and songwriter he really was.
I love Cowboys and Angels, the introduction is just perfection. What's your favourite?

Too many to choose just one.

Kissing a Fool - so simple, so wonderful
Praying for Time
Faith

Saw him live on the "Faith" tour with a special appearance by Andrew Ridgley

So sad he's gone, a wonderful voice, so versatile and emotional and a lovely guy who sadly couldn't defeat his demons.

QuantamBaby · 27/06/2020 21:38

So many to choose from!

Spinning the wheel is my favourite although I do absolutely love Careless Whisper

Ghostlyfeet · 27/06/2020 21:42

Oooh Fastlove and This is not real love

What was the documentary?

wellerhugs5 · 27/06/2020 22:04

First one that popped into my head was 'Spinning the Wheel'. His voice was so perfect...so many favourites from him though x

Flawless

Mouthfulofquiz · 27/06/2020 22:23

I really love ‘amazing’ it’s such a beautiful sentiment.
For simply the beauty of his voice ‘somebody to love’ cover of the famous Queen song.

Binterested · 27/06/2020 22:23

All of the above.

Fastlove
Outside
Father Figure
Jesus to a child
Different Corner

But also from the Wham years, I especially love Everything She Wants and Club Tropicana. The latter is just so evocative. It's sort of 80s and has a cheesy reputation but is actually brilliant.

Shmithecat2 · 27/06/2020 22:23

Wham wise - Everything She Wants.
Solo is harder. Spinning The Wheel probably, although Cowboys And Angels is also fab. And Amazing.

I also really love December Song. The video to that has me in bits.

Itsacakebaby · 27/06/2020 22:25

Cowboys and Angels
Close 2nd Father Figure

Such an amazing and unique voice.

Binterested · 27/06/2020 22:25

Oh and when he does Somebody to Love and Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me - Goosebumps.

And the cover of Stevie Wonder's As with Mary J Blige

Lightsareon · 27/06/2020 22:25

Never thought of myself as a fan particularly but I've surprised myself with how difficult I've found it choose one song Shock It's Praying for Time, I think Grin

YgritteSnow · 27/06/2020 22:25

His duet with Aretha Franklin - "I knew you were waiting"

Shmithecat2 · 27/06/2020 22:27

@Unevenbeard

Somebody To Love

RedLemon · 27/06/2020 22:28

Totally agree with @Jagsy
I can’t make you love me gets me every time. Amazing.

Also the amazing live Queen cover he did-Somebody to Love. Ace.

LaureBerthaud · 27/06/2020 22:31

I know he didn’t write it, but the way he sang “long and winding road” chills every time

Me too. And he is absolutely gorgeous in that video as well.
