This should have been a massive HIT...IN THE PRESCENCE OF TRUE STARS!!! George Michael my absolute 💯 Man! I miss you so much. 61now and I always come back to you! 2023 and you're still on my play list🇬🇧🙏🏾♥️🙌🏾🕊🕯😢😇😥😭😓😪💋👏🏾💯
It would be amazing if they released a compilation of all the legendary songs George sang on. He went toe to toe with legends and in some cases out sung them. Loved Queen but George’s version of Somebody to Love at the memorial concert even blew David Bowie as his rehearsal was just as good as the live version. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Would love to have heard George sing with Ed Sheeran. It would have been amazing 🤩
I agree, I'm waiting with bated breath. If only, there was an album of the duets that George sang throughout his lifetime. What an amazing piece of work that would be!
He was a legend - he didn't need to "go toe to toe" with them, he was as good, in some cases, better. He was not underrated as many people often say. In the U.S. he was disappeared from our radios by his own record company who was pissed he wouldn't do business the way they demanded. But, in the rest of the world, he was always heard and listened to and his albums sold elsewhere like crazy even though here we didn't even know he had released albums.
When George went solo, he had this theory that to break into the North American market he needed someone well known to do a duet with.. Hence Aretha. Since then artists are more than happy to work with him. Hell if I could sing I would love to do duet with him. GM is God"s gift to us, and we treasure him.
Sheila mcfarlane Where did you hear that he thought he needed to do a duet with someone to beak into the US market? (He was already huge here, but yes it definitely confirmed and solidified our perception that the sound of his voice and budding talent were on a very high level in comparison to most current artists and that he could be huge with adults and around for a very long time. We didn't think he would disappear here only 4 years later.) :-(
@@jr9249 We can thank the SUITS If you will for that. Remember, money is the root of all evil! It always rings true, sadly! We can be thankful that George continued on with his life & love of music. YA!🕯😇🎶🎶
Stevie Wonders 2nd album released in 1962 was called A Tribute to Uncle Ray, he was 11 yrs old and he did Ray Charles songs. And hearing this is it all coming full circle!! Now Uncle Ray tributes his prodigy!! My eternal gratitude for and to both of these amazing people, musicians, singers, souls and spirits. The world is a brighter place because of them! God bless them and all of humanity.
Talking book was something transcendental and unreachable. Hits such as Superstition and You are the sunshine of my life were musically weakest in the whole album.
Heard this for the first time about a week ago. Listening to it is like sitting by a warm fire on a snowy, winter evening sipping on a hot toddy made of good whiskey and sweet honey. Ray's voice is the good whiskey and George's voice is the sweet honey! Miss you both!
What a lovely, sweet sentiment. George will be gone 5 years on this Christmas Day. Hard to believe. His music and generosity to orphanages and other causez. Is a testament to him.
Yes, I completely agree. You may want to try HOW DO YOU KEPT THE MUSIC PLAYING. George & Tony Benett Did this recording in one take! Amazing & Beautiful. I don't think many know of this song, You must check It out, Allie! Here's wishing you a Happy & Healthy New Year, Keep Smiling!🕯😇🎶🎶
Every time I hear this song I get so emotional. I lost my Brother who was my best friend, protector. He loved this track. I wish he lived long enough to see what I have made of myself and would have shared with him.
Stunning...This and Edith and the King pin. ...hidden gems ....miss you Yog❤😢❤😢❤....still sad x (Rip to you both..I'm convinced your beautiful souls are)xxxx😇 😇 xxx
Wow......Legends ❤❤❤ This is just BEAUTIFUL. DIES ANYONE KNOW WHETHER THEY ACTUALLY PERFORMED THIS PUBLICLY. ..HOW DID THIS UNION COME TOGETHER AND WHEN? XXX....❤❤❤❤ Can't get enough of this song....George just had it in Spades....toooooo sad....😢😢😢😢.....still so rawxxxxxx💝💝💝💝
Try George with Tony Bennet/ HOW DO I KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING! They made this recording in one take! I don't think many people even know It exists, what a shame. Beautiful as always! ENJOY!🕯😇🎼🎶
Mary J Blige's video is amazing... Only the 2 of them on so many takes.. Maybe it took longer to do those shots than the actual singing.. None the less as always : priceless, perfection.
This is my favorite collaboration with George & Ray. The words to this song are perfect right now. But my tears are falling like rain. I'm so glad to hear this song as a reaction, Thank You! 🕯😇😘💕💔🥲
Beautiful song lyrically and melodically...Wonderful meshing of two of the most soulful singers ever...both gentlemen knew how to tell a story and pull you in...especially love George's voice at the very end:"Your heart blames it on you this time "... chills...
@@shirleyadams2580 Hello Shirley, I hear you. You might want to try George & Tony Bennett. They recorded this song in one take. Not many people know of this song, and It's beautiful. The song is called, HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING! Get your tissues, you may have the same response! Have a Happy & Healthy New Year! LOL!🕯😇
This remix is, I won't say is better than the original, but it's equal to the first one. Ray Charles & George Michael's it wouldn't be my first choice, but however done the collaborating, well I thank you, they really set it off 🖤...
couple of days ago I've been searching for this song, but couldn't find it and today I gave another try and finally found it :)))) Thnak you so much for uploading
Wow, NICE! I only knew this song as sung by Diana Ross. Thanks for posting this as I never knew about it and really like this cover. Not sure who's came first, Miss Ross or this awesome duet.
@@aesh3011 Hi Anthony, There's also another recording on a CD-George's Collaborations Album! What an awesome team they Made! But, who wasn't when they worked with George? LOL BK🕯😇🎶🎶
Sandra Jones But the contrast is so special that's what makes it so special...for me anyway. You can really hear the pure quality in Yogs voice...stunning. He really felt every note he sang...that's why for me he is the greatest artist of his generation. He loved SOUL BECAUSE HE ALWAYS SANG FROM HIS SOUL WHICH IS WHY HE TOUCHED SO MANY HEARTS WITH TRUE AUTHENTICITY AND words and EXPERIENCES THAT WE COULD RELATE TO....just still unbelievable for ME that he has left this earth but BOY WHAT A LEGACY💋👏❤👏💜💓💕💖👏💗👏💞👏 💟👏💝👏 Xxxxx😢😁
@@shininglightjoi6627 Hello Shininglight, Yes, George is all that & more! Isn't It A wonder how such a beyond talented man be as honest, humble, polite & kind as George was, given to us as a gift to the world? For myself, I couldn't imagine my life without George in It, could you? What a Blessing George still is for all of us! Thank You for the input of your feelings. Have a Happy & Healthy New Year! LOL Always, BK 🕯😇🎼🎶🎶
@@cellobus2961 Sorry, but that's the biggest nonsense i have ever heard.😂🤣🤣 Do you know all George Michael songs? Have you ever been to one of his concerts? No? No one sounds like George Michael, my friend. And NO ONE can beat him live. Tell me, who was Kenny Loggins again?
Ahh George ❤ I love that voice my darling 😊💕
Forever Ray Charles and George Michael !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Two Masters of music, simply outstanding.
This should have been a massive HIT...IN THE PRESCENCE OF TRUE STARS!!!
George Michael my absolute 💯 Man!
I miss you so much.

Me Too...And I Am 72...George Always & Forever...😇💕
Love this George you where perfect what ever you sang and who ever you sang with.
I will be a fan till I die you are forever missed
Estupendos los dos....Dos hermosas voces voces....Belllo tema❤❤❤❤
The Years may go by, these two giants of music are eternal
Georg÷!ND Eay. AMEN
Heavenly song Andy e voices in even more so♥️

George did sing FAME, in a concert. Of course magnificently! Just type It in & It will come up! ENJOY!🕯😇🎶
I agree, I'm waiting with bated breath. If only, there was an album of the duets that George sang throughout his lifetime. What an amazing piece of work that would be!
Adele would've been a great duet, too. Also, Gaga and Billy Joel are two more I'd have loved to hear.
He wanted to colab with Sade and she wouldn't, that would have been amazing and i know he was interested in Adele

Sensacional voz perfeita!!!
what a song! Especially when George get into... what a colour of voice was that!!!
ЧУДЕСНЫЙ ДУЭТ ОБОЖАЮ ДЖОРДЖА ОН САМЫЙ ЛУЧШИЙ СВЕТЛАЯ ПАМЯТЬ

No bun hi
In my mind - the best recording of this song ever made. Such a perfect blend of two amazing voices.
Brilliant version of a brilliant Stevie Wonder song. Love George and Ray. Both are missed
Two excelentes cantantes 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😉😉

Originally done by Stevie Wonder on his Talking Book LP. Ray and George took the song to whole different level. RIP Ray and George .

Muito linda essa música.Meu amor Vou como sempre majestoso...
GM still the best
so impressed that George does so many duets and shares his talents with other vocalists. Adele someday, yeah?
This comment makes me sad
Beautiful Never heard it till I hit play a couple of Minutes ago. THeir voices blended so beautifully
2 MASTERS

WoW i have not heard this song before ! It is a great song
Melts mystery heart
amazing
Lovely
How can anyone give the thumbs down to this. Go and get a life if you don’t think this is great, or no musicality in your soul.
Legends
Incredible.
Wow, NICE! I only knew this song as sung by Diana Ross. Thanks for posting this as I never knew about it and really like this cover. Not sure who's came first, Miss Ross or this awesome duet.
#StevieWonderDid. #HeWroteItAfterAll

2 magnifiques artistes... mais des vibrations inégalables dans la voix de GM, quelle perte...
Maravilloso o Dios mio
❤❤❤
Don’t know if Ray ever recorded this with Stevie. I absolutely adore this, but would love to have heard ray and stevie
❣️
Old or young-everyone loves Stevie Wonder!
also Jody Whatley and Tony Bennett and Queen
Kapossssssssssss!!
...it takes two, baby...
All he deserves was his freedom .
You can here that Ray is very aged.I love the duet.
VELLUTO
Is there a Cd for this ???
It's on the Ray Charles Genius & Friends CD.

Simplement immortel.
A good effort, but not a patch on Stevie's original
Original ce duo mais je préfère quand même la version originale de Stevie !
Ray Charles just blows George Michael out of the water.George Michael's voice is pure pop.But good old Ray has SOUL
🤣
Really, I think George should have sung this is solo. I'm not feeling Ray on this one.
Sandra Jones But the contrast is so special that's what makes it so special...for me anyway.

George is really sounding like Stevie Wonder, huh?
Sandra Jones where do not sound like Stevie where do hear that? He sound like himself.
Err no.

George could never sound like anyone but George Michael. His voice was one in a million and so was he.
Nobody sounds like Stevie Wonder. And George made a career out of channeling Kenny Loggins.
