Favourite George Michael song?

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?

There’s so many to choose from, but Cowboys and Angels, the piano intro, then into jazz and then his beautiful voice ❤️
He had a very rare talent with his natural singing voice that’s pure.

I have to stick with Careless Whisper as I was so in love with him at the time, and wanted to be the girl in the video. But I wouldn’t have run away !

tsmainsqueeze · 06/02/2021 20:20

I can't make you love me.
Such a lovely man , I'm not really interested in celebrity , stardom etc but i miss that he is no longer in the world .

Father Figure.

Different corner.

Number 1 when a friend died in a car crash, on a sharp bend when she was driving home at a time she shouldnt have been.

I love a lot of his songs but this one cuts deep every time I hear it.

Freedom!

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face cover. Gives me goosebumps every time.

Creamcrackersandricecakes · 06/02/2021 20:45

Oh how I love GM. So hard to choose a favourite, but I guess it has to be Heal The Pain. Closely followed by Praying For Time. Favourite Wham song - If You Were There or Everything She Wants.

So difficult! I love
Careless whisper
Fastlove
Amazing

TheVanguardSix · 06/02/2021 20:56

My God. Where to begin?!!
Older (I get so teary when I hear this song. I just feel like his suffering was palpable in so many of his songs. He really reaches you, doesn't he?)
Calling You gives me chills! You have to watch it on YT. What a duet.
Cowboys and Angels, Jesus to a Child, Amazing, Fast Love, They Won't Go When I Go, You Have Been Loved (sob!), so, so, so many...

munchbunch12 · 06/02/2021 20:56

Too Funky, Amazing and Father Figure are my favourites.

BlueThistles · 06/02/2021 21:32

December Song... still makes me tearful

AgeLikeWine · 06/02/2021 21:37

LWP is one of my all-time favourite albums, and I’m my view it’s GM’s best work by a distance. Waiting for That Day is my favourite track on the album, but I also love Freedom 90.

Shesaysso · 06/02/2021 21:37

There’s a Youtube video of him singing Victims (Culture Club) which is amazing.

SpringerJS · 06/02/2021 21:39

What a beautiful voice he had. Father Figure is my favourite, followed closely by his version of Don’t let the sun go down on me.

SpringerJS · 06/02/2021 21:40

Oh and Freedom!

Discovered my old Faith album in the car - what a friggin collection!

Father figure monkey, unbelievable

grassisjeweled · 06/02/2021 21:50

Father figure, Monkey etc

Can't remember actual title of Monkey, obv Confused

Russellbrandshair · 06/02/2021 21:51

Jesus to a child

The lyrics are breathtakingly beautiful and the song is so raw and full of emotion

dementedma · 06/02/2021 22:05

Going to have to make a Spotify play list now

gerbilfur · 06/02/2021 22:07

You Have Been Loved

im5050 · 06/02/2021 22:08

I love Older - I think it would make a wicked theme song for a James Bond film 😂
But to be honest I love all his music from Wham to his solo stuff
Love praying for time and Jesus to a child
RIP George M

‘Knew you were waiting’ is mine.
