He was only 17 years old when he wrote this song. He wrote it, sang it, arranged it and produced it, as he did all his other music.This man was a Mega Mega talent

His voice is so hauntingly beautiful. It is so clear and the depth is amazing. This song is timeless, and most definitely speaks to the soul. Huge loss when he passed. R.I.P. George Michael.

17...he was 17 when he wrote this! "guilty feet have got no rhythm"... Sublime! You guys should do his song "Praying for Time".

17years of age when he wrote this masterpiece and in this video 1984 only 21 years of age....❤

Another must see is him singing with Queen at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert he nailed somebody to love 75k was at Wembly stadium

Fun fact, George Michael went through 8 sax players before he found one who gave him the sound he wanted.

So most girls loved him. He was not out then... His biography is very interesting. My best friend died a couple days after she went to his concert. So this song and others remind me of that time. I was supposed to go and couldn't. But have always loved his voice! Like I have said before his version of Somebody to Love is so great!!!! Queen wanted him to be their lead singer. He decided to continue his solo career. My brother in law came in the dinning room that Christmas Day and told us he died. I could not believe it at first. 2016: David Bowie, Glen Frye, Prince, George Michael... 😢 Wham is fun, but his solo career is 🔥!!!!!

Thanks for being respectful of his talent. He had a hard time coming out. It was a different time.

George Michael genius who wrote,sung,arranged,produced ,played most of the instruments and even part engineered some of his songs try spinning the wheel or cowboys and angels next

Check out George Michael at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert singing Somebody To Love with Queen.

0:41 One More Try. Listen to One More Try. Please. George Michael has hits. He was impressive at every turn. His songwriting was top tier mastery. His voice was velvet. Such a huge loss. ❤️🙏🏾❤️🔥

he wrote this song in his bedroom when he was 17. the man was a genius. RIP George

Please more GEORGE MICHAEL!!! 😊😊😊

You gotta do more George Michael! He crafted some of the most perfect pop songs and his voice is silky smooth perfection.

One of the very best songwriters of his generation. Such a phenomenal talent that we lost way too soon. RIP George, we miss you ❤️

George was a brilliant writer, singer and great man, gave so much to charity that was not revealed till after his death, helped many people, such a loss. R.I.P. George Michael.

This is one of the most wonderful ballads I've ever listened to. It marked the 80s. George was beautifully unique. He used to sing in such a way that his singing had you magically to start a timeless journey.

I was fortunate to see George Michael sing this song live in a beautiful outdoor venue at night in the 1980s. His voice sounds even better live.

Don't know what he looked like in later years but back in the day he was a stud!

🙏❤🌹George🌹❤🙏

George will be inducted in hall of this year in November. George was 17 when he wrote this song

George Michael is a special talent. An incredible musician, best singer of his era

He has the best voice ever. I was lucky enough to see Wham in concert in Houston. Such an amazing and energetic show. He will be deeply missed, But his voice will live on forever. Not many know this but George was a very generous man. Helping charities and individuals. God bless him. RIP George.

And yes, George was in the closet for awhile. Most people were back then. Then, he released a song called Freedom and it was finally obvious and he was finally free. It’s a fantastic song with a great video. Iconic, really.

He recorded the best Christmas Song!

The ring was a gift from his mom and it fit his right hand better. George is amazing and so handsome straight or not. He came out later. I didn’t care. Love him. Great reaction!

This song is AUDIO GOLD! It'll live on 4EVER!!!

You can date this video by just looking at the Princess Diana's hairstyle on the girlfriend.

He blew up the RB charts back then. This song fit yacht rock vibe too. Good choice!

George wrote and produced this. Also played most of the instruments on the song. Originally, his record label wanted Jerry Wexler to produce this. Wexler was the legendary producer of numerous songs sung by people like Ray Charles & Aretha Franklin. Jerry's version was so bad that his label asked George to produce it himself. He auditioned 10 different sax players and played all the other instruments on the song. He was a genius writer, producer and singer and this is considered on the best pop songs of the past 50 years

So many great George Michael songs. Jesus to a Child, but my favourite is George but under the Wham label. A Different Corner.

This track was released in 1984. It's my understanding that he "came out" in 1998. Back in the 1980s record producers and film makers preferred the artists to not come out. Most probably having to do with sales. We are obviously in a much different era today. I do not believe that he ever got married. The ring on his finger was most likely a prop.

It was about 2 girls he was seeing cos there were girlfriends he said he wasn't sure he was gay he thought he was bisexual most of his songs were about some one or about him he was a genius and gorgeous

I have this vinyl, love GM and Wham. This song 🎵 played at every single Dance during my middle and High School years

"The Edge of Heaven" by Wham! is full of energy and well worth a listen.

Besides this song, others that come to mind when I think of GM are “Faith”, “Father Figure” and “Freedom ‘90”. Nick should know at least one of ‘em. ✌🏽

Great song from a great artist. Most people suspected George was gay, when Wham! first hit the scene, but we weren't sure. After all, it was the '80s and a bunch of male singers were wearing makeup and sporting wild hair; George Michael was not that unusual. Him having a girlfriend was even in the entertainment news, with her appearing in one of his videos. She was very hot, and he grew a short scruff on his face, making him look more masculine. Therefore, many people were surprised to learn about him being gay, especially in such a public way. But, his fans still loved him, and they always will. His se× life should have been no one's business but his own. But hey, we've still got his music!

The best vocal performance I've ever heard from him was his duet with Elton John on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me".

I always enjoyed George Michael's voice. There are a lot of songs of his that you guys can enjoy.

He came out to his friends and family just before WHAM! split up, but his record company wouldn't let him come out in public for years. When he was caught cottaging in a public toilet in the USA, he released the single "Outside," one of the biggest up-yours ever. Worth a watch!

Father figure from the concert of hope is so freaking amazing I could watch it daily please dive into George Michael catalog thanks Gina

Loving how Ryan's upper body instantaneously went into turbo groove-move with that very first sax note😂😍💖

Fun fact: did you know that George Michael ( with his friend Andy as Wham) started his career in 1981 with a Rap song? Its called Wham Rap and it celebrates the fun of being a unemployed young man in Margaret Thatchers Britain beginning of the 80ties when economy was down...its just great!

Now go for Fast Love. You'll love the groove and the video.

I turned thirteen in 1980 so I am an 80's kid. In response to questions Nick posed; George wasn't "out" at this point partly because he wasn't sure of his preference himself. He briefly dated Brooke Sheilds and reportedly his song "A Different Corner" was about her. DJ Kathy Jeung, who starred as George Michael's love interest in his 1987 video for 'I Want Your Sex', dated the singer in the late '80s for three years, when George was 24-years-old. The 80's was an incredible decade but the Aids epidemic brought uncertainty, bigotry and massive death tolls to the gay community. This alone kept many people "in the closet." Great video guys! Keep up the great song selections.

Do Fastlove !

R.I.P George Michael

One thing I didn’t see mentioned is that his partner in Wham! was given writing credits on this track in an act of generosity by Michael. He knew it was going to be a hit and set his friend up for financial security. Very few artists who were gay in that era were out. For good reason. I loved his voice then and still do. Never really changed my mind about his music or Queen’s music upon learning Freddie Mercury’s orientation. Iconic, pure passionate voices. And they will be missed.

George will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Fall. This video has reached the 1 Billion views club. George's complete video is below. I would highly suggest you watch his live performance at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. It is unbelievable. For my money he is one of the best vocalist of all time. George can sing anybody's song and make it sound incredible but I have never heard anyone be able to due justice to one of his songs. His live performances are absolute perfection.

Kissing A fool,Victims,KILLER papa...,Tonight,First time...Love is need...Waiting for thad day,One more try....❤❤❤

Please do Kissing a Fool! Jazzy soulful tune by the amazing George Michael! Thanks for the reaction guys! ✌🏻😉✌🏻

Ryan, Nick & Ty= 3 Superfly guys

This is proof that the 502 are equal opportunity reactors... lol

Besides Gerry Rafferty Baker Street, this sax is known off the bat! In an early interview he spoke about this being about this was about his high school sweetheart and she knew about him before he was coming to terms with himself and his preference. This song had a special meaning to him because she was so important throughout his entire life and always maintained contact. That’s awesome. As far as the song it’s fantastic and the video was great as well. I agree on the studio version being too long and this is really never been known as a WHAM song. Even though it’s on their album. It’s great! So great and Everything She Wants is absolutely perfect from WHAM! So awesome and then his solo album Faith was absolutely incredible! Do more George Michael for sure!! On the gay note…he told Oprah after the huge arrest scandal that everyone thought Andrew was gay and he wasn’t. He married one of the Bananarama girls. He said specifically..”Andrew didn’t care what people said, but I was so confused because I’m in dayglow outfits. I guess no one wanted to accept I was gay at the time..including me”. An Edit here…Everything She Wants is about Brooke Shields. I don’t think they were married but I may be wrong.

“One more Try” is one of my fave of his.

George did all the backing vocals on this as well. Also, the girl in this clip apparently kept fainting while filming, he was that much of a heart throb. 😂 He didn’t come out until the 90’s. First he was bisexual but then came out fully some years later

This was THE slow dance song at all of my high school dances.

Here something for U to think about; when Wham appeared on American Bandstand in 1983 and Mr. George was wearing the really short shorts everyone should have known then.. I like Mr. George, he is a great singer; I think "Careless Whisper is his best song.. ♠W.G.

There is soooo much more to George than Careless Whisper, try delving a little bit deeper, I think you'll be very surprised. Have a look at his live stuff, MTV unplugged session from 1996, the concert of hope, twenty five live. The ring George wore was a gift from his family and had the name YOG on it which was George's nickname 💜

Michael ❤

This song reminds me of a horrible beach trip in the 80's. It was playing on the way home and I thought I might ...🤢🤪. 70's is my decade. I was having babies in the 80's. But this song is a classic.

GREAT reaction guys! I always refer to this song as being the sexiest song of the 80's. I can never hear this song too much. RIP George Michael. He is sorely missed...he had the voice of an angel. 2016 was a horrible year because we lost George Michael, David Bowie and Prince. 💔 I imagine they are all up there having a huge jam session.

Indeed icone, and it this adjective has a deeper meaning if we think that he was only 17 when he wrote this which is pne of the most known song around the globe for more than 35 years. Hope you guys also react to other songs from George’s great carear and don’t get stuck to the Wham times, because George didn’t!

I read an interview with him where he said this was literally written about a school dance where he promised his friend he’d go with her and took someone else (or something similarly simple) and he felt bad and wrote this on the bus at 17. ❤

His managers etc told him he couldn't be gay or he would lose most of his fans. Hes been with women but came out after being caught publicly (toilets) and had to cine out after being arrested but it never stopped us from loving him. Hes a musical genius and easy on the eye.

It's not a secret many artists have very little input on the final product (video in this case)... And that's the eternal rebellion of Artists Vs. Management when things start to grow... Do yourselves a favor and react to George Michael's "Cowboys and Angels" 😎

This is such a great song. His voice and soul, the sax, and the lyrics absolutely make it. "Guilty feet have got no rhythm." RIP George Michael

The video is in Miami, Coconut Grove, this building is still there, 1985, I had just arrived to live here, many memories and beautiful melody and voice.

Please react to George’s song Kissing A Fool! You will not be disappointed! Groovy like this. Beautiful song and instruments and vocals! Great channel! ❤

Oh gosh this takes me back! George has such a smooth voice in every song he sings. His tunes were always on the radio. Thanks guys for reacting to this one!

WHAM! had three albums Fantastic, Make It Big, Music from the edge of heaven.

If you like the SAX listen to Bob Seger - Turn the Page

Such a talent and so missed. Please listen to “Jesus to a Child” - hauntingly beautiful. Thanks for your insightful reactions, guys.🇬🇧🇺🇸

Can't make you love me from MTV uncut really shows what a beautiful voice he had.

George was a top top performer & song writer , he made many wonderful songs . I would suggest In a Different Corner may be even better than this may is the operative word here., but everybody should listen to 'Mothers Pride' it's George with his thinking head on. Glorious !

This and Father Figure are just great songs that stand out to me among so many.

I can't believe its been almost 15 years since i saw him in concert he sounded exactly like he does on his albums live the studio did not have to help him out at all. He was in the closet for a lot of the 80's . His passing bummed out my Christmas I would have seen him many more times live if I could

The tremor in the force was never as loud, as the day all of the women in the world heard…………..

Loved loved loved his voice and thought he looked like a werewolf.

PHENOMENAL VOICE.

god damn I've seen this video umpteen times and I've never noticed the girl taking the ring off at the end until you mentioned it. It was also the first time I noticed near the beginning, when they are talking, she mouths the word "yes" twice.

George lived in the same building in West LA as a good friend of mine in the late 80s and EVERY time I saw him (albeit briefly) he had multiple incredibly good looking women with him and he was the nicest guy you could imagine....huge loss

Ty, iconic sax playing in a song is in "Urgent" by Foreigner. You won't be disappointed.

The banter between you guys 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

George got better and better after this.

my most favourite song by george is "one more try" it is devastatingly beautiful 💔 and if you think this vid is gorgeous you need to see duran duran's "save a prayer" - STUNNING. duran really set the bar for amazing videos in the '80s, everyone else just followed (except for a-ha's "take on me" - that was a game-changer). also check out DD's vids for "the chauffer" and "rio".

Last Christmas might be one of the best crafted pop songs ever, thus all the covers. Damn i wish i wrote it, it rings up the cash every year... He did some well written pop.

Loved this.. My first slow dance was to this song.

I miss George so much ! Although I am into metal esp pantera: George Michael is my true love ❤️💔😔 And you nailed it: the bridge is extraordinary, showing his vocal abilities! I mean he was also the only one imo who could sing and feel (what is so important!) Freddie Mercury’s somebody to love: he had the voice and he feels this song like Freddie did cause he was a lost soul looking for love like Freddie) So my request is „somebody to love“ George feat. Queen live !!!

You need to play One More Try video and Don't let the Sun go down on me with Elton John live version !

George Michael has an amazing voice. His solo album older is completely amazing. You would not even believe how good he sounds and the song are Beyond this world.

One of my favs from the 80s!

The greatest decade of music and movies in history will be the 80's. Most people did not know George wrote 95% if his songs. As to the others he co-wrote. With that beautiful voice he smoked two packs of smokes a day. If you ever got to go to his concerts even better to know him was a Blessing. Listen to him live.

His best song lyrically is Kissing a Fool.

R.I.P. George❤

It's interesting to hear "the kids" wonder about whether George was in the closet back then, like it was a casual choice some people might have made for this or that reason. I'm not being critical. I get it. The world's been a different place for the last 20 or so years as far as that kind of thing is concerned. In the 1980s, in most places and among most people, being gay was seen as one of the worst possible things you could admit to. Gay bars were illegal in most places through the 1960s and into the 1970s. In the 1980s, same-sex intimacy was a crime in at least half the US. The social stigma, even for the rich and famous, was downright brutal except in a very few places. And the rest of the country made derisive jokes about "those people" in New York and San Francisco. Even where there were rumors that somebody *might* be gay, everyone automatically assumed that they would never "admit" to it, just like nobody would be expected to admit to being an abusive spouse or an embezzler. It's amazing how much has changed in such a short time.

I went to high school in the early 80s, and Wham debuted when I was in high school or just after. I would have to say that the ring was for the video. He never married and might not have ever come out except that he was caught having sex with another man in a public bathroom. He was charged with lewdness. It was a huge issue back then. This was well into his solo career. I just discovered your channel when I stumbled across your reaction to Baker Street. I was a kid in the 70s and went to high school in the early 80s, and I love that you're doing so many songs from that era. You all seem too young to have these eras in your playlists naturally. I love that you are into the music of my youth and childhood. Thank you!

His album Faith is amazing from start to finish! Had this song as my ringtone for many years.😂❤

my favourite singer from england i know u like ur saxaphone i would love to see ur reaction to a love of ur own by average white band r and b singers from 70s and 80s great reaction to george no 1 mike from england cheers

GOOD CHOICE LOVE HIS VIBE AN SONGS KEEP ROCKIN THANKS 👍🙏💗💘🔥🤩☮️♾️
