    This song won the grammy for best duet, can't remember 86 or 87. If you want to see a great duet check out George with Mary J. Blige "As". It's my fav. George did duets with Smokey, Whitney, Stevie, Queen, Paverratti, Beyonce, Ray Charles, Garth Brooks, Elton, etc. etc. etc. Can't remember how many. Pop singers back in the day were good, but always looking for the great producer or song writer. George did it all with his songs, wrote, sang, produced and did many of the instruments on his songs. I'm 71, I'm still a big fan of his. There will never be another George MIchael. I also love Aretha. I remember an interview I saw where Aretha said she introduced George to "soul food", fried chicken, yams and corn bread were his favs. He would eat at her house when he was on tour for his "Faith" album.

Listen to, Different Corner, Jesus to a Child, she has been loved, careless whisper, Freedom, fast love, these are just a few of his top 10 hits in UK

    Heck Yha I'd love for you to do more George Michael. Fact: Believe it or not, Aretha at first didn't want to do this song with George but she did, And this turned out to be her first hit in 20 years. It sure looked like she liked doing this song to me. I have to say, They defiantly made good music together. George did a lot of collaborations with iconic artists, you need to check them out. But 1st and foremost, George was in a league all by himself, perfection! As you get to know & experience Georges music, you'll be amazed at what your seeing & hearing. I would love to see you listen to STAR PEOPLE, He put the FUNK IN FUNKY. Thanks, I enjoyed your reaction.

      Actually it was George Michael who was too nervous to do this collab with Aretha. When Aretha's people approached him about this,, he was nervous about singing with the legendary Aretha Franklin whom he admired as a child - of course and he was also used to producing his own music, he was apprehensive about being produced as well - being such a perfectionist. But Aretha's people and GM's manager was persistent. He flew to Detroit to record this with Aretha and the rest is perfection history. :)
