    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.
