      Not in 1987 he wasn't. He was still the pretty boy pop star. Aretha (and probably her management team) saw a little more in him. And they were right.

    Listen to George with Whitney, Mary j , Ray Charles, etc. They became friends, Aretha went to George’s Faith concert n they did this duet. George stayed with Aretha a few days. She introduced him to fried chicken, yams n cauligreens. Won Grammy for best duet. Listen to “ Kissin a fool”

    Awesome song. Aretha contacted George because she wanted to do a duet with him, but he held off for awhile.. and she kept on pushing. Finally they got together and it was lit. I could tell this was the 80's because Ms. Aretha was wearing door knocker earrings. lol RIP Aretha & George. xx React to Aretha Franklin's "I Say a Little Prayer", which was another big hit of Aretha's.

    George is legendary himself.Aretha loved George and asked him to produce and write an album for her. He was the tender age of 22 when she requested this.. He was so intimidated, and so nervous that he couldn’t agree to it at that point. This duet won them a Grammy and went to number 1. In addition, George helped Aretha achieve her first and only number 1 with this song in the UK. George was always respected by his peers and admired for his songwriting skills and production skills. He collaborated with the best of the best because he was a phenomenal singer. George sold over 125 -150 million records including Wham!, worldwide and you have to remember the majority was all before the age of streaming and downloading. George was adored world wide and rightly so! The duets with Whitney, Ray Charles and Stevie are among the best duets of all time. George sang with Queen, and he blew it out of the stadium.

    Aretha’s voice was a gift from God. She was absolutely unbelievable. You should check out a video when Aretha sang opera at the Grammy Awards, filling in at the last minute for Luciano Pavarotti, who was too ill to perform. Aretha also wrote songs, one of which was Daydreaming. She was a powerhouse in every respect. R.I.P. Queen of Soul. 👏👏❤️

Blige "As", Queen (at Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert) "Somebody To Love" is a legendary performance and a definite must see/hear. His Live performances are always perfection. You should definitely check out as many of those as possible. Anything from the Concert of Hope in 1993, his performance of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing at the Mandala birthday concert in 1988, his performance of A Different Corner" on the BBC Parkinson Show, anything from the MTV Unplugged Session.

    I think this was the brainchild of legendary producer/manager/record God Clive Davis (the major driving force behind the careers of Whitney H amongst others), George I think was already planning to launch a solo career and wanted to get away from the ‘boy band’ image of Wham! after 4 years of success with that and I think Aretha had been away from the charts for some time so they were good for each other’s cause. And even though George in the early to mid 80’s was doing great ass part of Wham!, you’re right others were noticing him. Elton John released an album in 1985 (thereabouts) called Ice On Fire. There were at least two singles I remember being released (certainly in the UK), one called Nikita and another called Wrap Her Up which featured GM, George did the backing vocals on the Nikita track 😊

    In my opinion, I think their voices were beautiful together, but I think they could have chosen a better song. I just don't think the song itself was worthy of either performer, though I do love that it gives Aretha the opportunity to give young George the "I know you did" a couple of times, which he must have loved, being as big a fan of hers as I heard he was. I would have loved a duet that let them both let loose a little more.
