This hits me right in the childhood.

My sister and I used to stage elaborate theatrical productions to Wham! songs with our toys. That seems really weird putting that into text form... but yeah. We played that tape over and over until it busted.

Then when I was 12 I remember my mom confiscating my Faith tape, and my uncle giving me his when I moaned about it.

Hell, the first time I ever danced with a boy was to One More Try at a school dance.

For some bizarre reason this morning I was surfing the web wondering if some well-known star would bite the dust today. I think the Carrie Fisher episode made me think it might be her, though I was wondering if it would end up being someone else. Lo and behold after doing some stuff today I came home to check the news on the web, and almost as if I had a premonition, there was the news about George Michael. Though, I didn't have anyone in particular in mind, except maybe Carrie Fisher.

I sure hope we won't be writing in stuff like this in a thread about her any time soon!

Poor George----53 is no age to die.

The semi-pro cover band I was in in the late '80s and 90s used to perform "Faith" and an instrumental version of this one.  Rest in peace, sir.

RIP.  'Older' is a great low-key album he dedicated to Antonio Carlos Jobim. Check it out. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world, George.
