So glad you liked this! The other killer George Michael duet is with Elton John, Don't Let the Sun Go Down. It's very special. The other Aretha Franklin duet I love is with Annie Lennox, from Eurythmics, Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves. Both duets are must hears!

Aretha Franklin and George Michael two two amazing voices on one song. It doesn't get any better than that. May they both Rest in Peace🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I immediately clicked on this. I love this duet. Such an honor for George Michael to collaborate with the Queen of Soul. Very big hit in the day

Love this song! Aretha and Annie Lennox duet "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" and Aretha with Lauryn Hill "A Rose is Still a Rose" are also great duets.

This is such a great song! I was pregnant with my oldest son when it first came out and, after he was born, I would dance around the house while holding him. He would smile so big and flail his little arms to the music. I love how music can take you back to precious memories. ❤

What a classic 80's song! It was a more perfect pairing than anyone could've imagined.

Michael admitted to being nervous, but he knew there was no point in trying to copy Franklin's style. "Nobody can emulate Aretha Franklin," he said. "It's stupid to try. I just tried to stay in character, keep it simple - it was very understated in comparison to what she did."

This duet is Heaven for the ears. The way their voices sound together makes my heart smile 😊!

Ah, yes! One of the more legendary duets in all of music! Rest in peace to both people.

I also suggest Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, duet by George Michael and Elton John. Also, George Michael's cover of Somebody to Love (Queen) is fantastic.

This was a stellar duet. So glad you’re checking it out. R.I.P. George and Aretha…💔

Another reason why the 80’s was such an awesome decade! So many great legendary artists on so many great songs, we got awesome duets like this! Aretha didn’t just perform with anybody, you had to to be great, and George Michael had the chops! Instant classic! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great song. As a matter of fact that was the number one this week on the Billboard chart in 1987!

Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" when he was in Wham! !! Jay & Amber, you'll love her "You Make Me Feel Like (A Natural Woman)" ; "Spanish Harlem" and "Until You Come Back To Me!!!!

I just got goosebumps all over at their high notes!

Now we're cooking. The voice of the queen and George. Cant lose!👍👍🤟🤟⚘⚘⚘⚘

Awesome song and RIP to George Michael and Aretha Franklin...

This song was the one and only time that both George Michael and Aretha Franklin singing together. Not only that this song went all the way to hit the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in America, but the song also went to hit the #1 spot on the British Pop chart as well during the spring of 1987. One more thing about this song. This song was Aretha Franklin's only #1 hit on the British Pop chart ever!!! RIP both to George and Aretha

No matter what decade Aretha sang in, 50s. 60s . 70s, 80s,90s 00s , she was/is always Queen of Soul to me.

I've always loved this song by these two icons. Another amazing duet that came out shortly after this one is Put A Little Love In Your Heart by Al Green and Annie Lennox.

This is one of my favorite songs from 1987. On the screen behind Aretha and George Michael were Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Sony & Cher, and Ike & Tina Turner; other famous duos. I think you should check out of those famous duets, like Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "I Could Build My Whole World Arounds You", "You're All I Need to Get By", "Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing". Tammi Terrell's career was about to take off when she died and Marvin Gaye was in deep depression for a long time before coming out on the other side as a changed man and a changed artist.

They were magical. I loved this song when it first came out, and I still love it today! The one thing I'll always regret is not seeing George Michael live.

Another one that I've been waiting for you two to react to! This is one of my "crank up the volume and clean my house" songs. I am always singing the chorus at the top of my lungs when it comes on. Sometimes I'm Aretha, sometimes I'm George.

I love this duet. George Michael is finally nominated for The Rock Hall of Fame this year. We’ll know in 2 weeks whether he made it or not. Fingers crossed! This is an excellent song to end on on a Saturday night. Great song choice y’all!

The 1980's were some of the best years of all time to be young ambitious with a sunny road of opportunities ahead of you. it showed in the life people lived, the music they listened to, the night life they enjoyed and the people they surrounded themselves with.

Two amazingly talented individuals

Aretha and George RIP and thank you for this beautiful duet. If you haven’t reacted to George Michael with Lisa Stansfield singing Queen’s song “The Days of Our Lives” I would highly recommend it. One year after Freddy Mercury’s death they held a tribute concert. And this duet is beautiful. I loved Aretha Franklin at the Kennedy Center Honors Carole King! It is an incredible performance! Thank you for the reaction!

Yes!!!! I knew that you would LOVE this! I bought the Love of my Life a personalized coffee mug that had that line, "when the river was deep, I didn't falter. When the mountain was high, I still believed. When the valley was low..." She only had the mug for 5 months before passing away from complications following a cardiac arrest. I still love the song. Thank you for reacting to this.

This song is a masterpiece and sung by two legends

'Everything She Wants' by Wham! is an absolute BANGER!!!

Hell yes!!! Clicked on this one right away, this is such an amazing duet and song!

Two fabulous vocal greats .........sadly gone but never forgotten .

I'm glad you reacted to this, George Michael loved Aretha's music but he was nervous about performing with her because he considered himself unworthy, but they ended up making a terrific song together

🥰I love it. George did so many great duets--everybody wanted to sing with him, it seems. My favorite is Mary J Blige and George Michael, "As" . A danceable track he did with Whiney Houston on her Greatest Hits 2000 album--"If I Told You" is fun. He was so active in charity concerts that a bunch of duets exist that are live only. More duets--check out crooner, Tony Bennet. He released several recent duet albums. George has a duet with him, but I would do Tony and Lady Gaga duet or early Tony in his prime like "Fly me to the Moon."

Happy birthday, J. You'd love the duet George Michael did with Elton John singing "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". An awesome performance from both of them.

Peter Cetera from the band Chicago did a great number of Duets. He did one with Cher, another one with Amy Grant and one more with Agnetha Faltskog from ABBA. You guys should check them out

I love that y'all added this to your list! You wouldn't think this duet would work, but man does it! George also did a duet with another R&B queen, Mary J Blige, called "As," which is good too. They're backed by a gospel choir. He used to always bring the magic. :)

George Michael One More Try is SO GOOD, you can really see how much of a GREAT singer he is in this one. Not that we don't already know, but you can see just how high and angelic his voice is here. I get chills everytime I hear One more try!!!! Amber u will love it, both of u will honestly, but it's so good!!!!

George and Elton version of Dont let the sun go down on me is A must. His range is insane

george was a great songwriter as well as producer.....in addition to the alltime great voice

Wonderful reaction Jay and Amber - I've been waitng on this one. :) Their voices complement each other well - Aretha's sheer power with Michael's smoothness and swagger.

Finally you’ve gotten to this jewel. Now you are ready to other fantastic duos of George, such as “As” with Mary J Bligde, Dont’t let the sun go down on me with Elton, “If i told you that” wit Whitney or yet the many covers he made his own like “Somebody to love”, “Killer”, “Roxanne”, “Miss Sarajevo”, “I can’t make you love me”… well, I could spend to whole night writting down great song by him that simply can’t go wrong!😉

George brought his A-game for this duet...still had his swag and just dis his thing and did not try to over do it...complimented Aretha's powerhouse vocals well. You should react to George's song, "I Want Your Sex". Title sounds "dirty" but it isn't actually dirty. It was a popular bop back in the day!

Oh yeah...doesn't get better than this...2 of the greatest singers together? Heaven ❤❤❤

2 icons that will be forever be a great duo of musical genius! Both are missed today with music. RIP to both George and Aretha!

So happy you got to this one!!❤❤❤

This song still gets constant play even now

One of the greatest duets to come out of the 80’s with 2 of the biggest powerhouse voices in that decade!

Even though it’s a duet, this has been my very favorite Aretha song ever since the first time I heard. She shows every single color of her voice in this arrangement and the tune itself is infectious. Great pick guys!!!

Love this song. Reminds me of my mom R.I.P. She used to turn the stereo up really loud and we would dance to it. Great memories.

What a song!! With the beautiful Aretha Franklin & the awesome George Michael - just SUPERB!!!! xx

You put 2 of the best voices together you get perfection 🥰 ❤

For some truly great George Michael, definitely check out "Queen & George Michael - Somebody to Love (HD Remastered) (The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert)". You will absolutely love it!

“One more try” by George Michael is a great song to react to

I love how, the minute the track started, Amber recognized that it was an 80s tune. You have both grown so much in your knowledge.

How bloody good is this track? Best male & female voices ever!!!!!!

YES! This is my absolute favorite collaboration of two AMAZING artists!

Guys, you need to check out Tina Turner and Bryan Adams with It’s Only Love. Amazing duo and song.

RIP To the queen, George also did duets with Whitney & Mary J.

I haven't heard this one in a long time. Such a wonderful song by 2 great artists. Nice choice u 2. 😊

This great duet is always so uplifting. Thanks to George for persuading Aretha to sing with him. He was a deep fan of Soul /R&B and often in live concerts performed tracks from Stevie Wonders ‘Songs in the key of life’ and recorded ‘As’ for a duet with Mary J Blige. Other comments are spot on , you must checkout Eurythmics with Aretha Franklin on ‘Sisters are doing it for themselves’. R.I.P Aretha & George ❤️. Heartfelt Thanks to you both for the tremendous legacy of music you’ve both left for us to keep enjoying 🙏🙏🙏

Can I just say you two just made my night with your reaction?! So glad you got to this one and you really enjoyed their voices together!! Just hours before my birthday … an early present! 😊💜 Next should be George’s tribute to Freddie Mercury ‘Someone to Love’. One of his best live vocal performances.

Oh, this brings joy to my heart! Thank you for reminding me. 🎉

Can't go wrong with either George or Aretha and with this song, it's just awesome in many ways!! Many great songs of the 80s and this is certainly one of them and is near the top of my favorites!!

OMG! High in the top of my list of duets. Little known fact, Clive Davis, super record exec wanted George Michael to do a duet with Whitney Houston, but somehow George wanted to do it with the queen of soul and he got his wish. This song hit #1 on the billboard hot 100 in 1987

Duets to put on your list: Phil Collins & Philip Bailey - Easy Lover. Aretha & Annie Lennox - Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves.

Thank you for finally getting around to this gem. Their collab was magical. RIP to both 🌹

George Michael and Elton John singing Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me is an absolute must!!

One of my all time favorites! So glad you got to experience this vocal pairing.

Two legends. George also has another duet with another legend Whitney Houston. Also another classic is with Mary J Blige. Love them all. Awesome reaction.

George Michael did a duet (backing vocals) on an absolutely beautiful song called "HEAVEN HELP ME" with a singer named Deon Estus from 1989. It is a gorgeous song but rarely gets played on the radio because it was a lesser known song from the late 1980s.

What Do You Know... Apparently I'm 1st with a Thumbs Up. Wow... Aretha's Voice is SO Powerful! Love This Song! Great Choice & Great Reaction, You Guys!

Rip To Both Great Singer's,We Still Miss You Both

😍😍😍 I don't remember seeing you react to Aretha's song "RESPECT" (1967). It's awesome. R.I.P. to both Michael and Aretha.

George Michaels is one of the FEW male voices who could of done this song with Aretha Franklin. This has always been in my favorite 6 to 8 songs George did. Glad you both finally HEARD it and SAW it

One of the best ever duets. Probably the best of the 80s.

One of my favorite duos - 2 legends. I read where George was really nervous about performing with the Queen of Soul. But what a groove and a voice pairing. Best of the 80s. Hope they're impressing everyone in heaven with this one.

This was a SHOCKING pair when I heard about it but, the song was 🔥!!! George definitely held his own with her! Long LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!

One of the greatest duets of all time.

I LOVE THIS SONG. George Michael has a perfect voice, and with Aretha, they are incredible. I just really love this one. I listen to it, a lot, all the time, still to this day. One of my fav's! Cheers! one of my favorite George Michael tunes is Spinning the Wheel. It really showcases his incredible vocal range, and his pristine tone. Also - anything from his Listen without Prejudice Vol.1 (Waiting for That Day, Something to Save (my personal favorite)).

Always loved this song- and the both of them. Legends of music that are both greatly missed.

When collabs were real and sincere. Love this song since it came out.

You need to have a picture of George on your back wall! One of the greatest singers song writers of all time. Selling over 125 million récords in his life time. He had some impressive duets in his carear, with Stevie, Wonder, Smokey, Whitney, Ray Charles, Elton, Queen,Mary J, and the list goes on. BTW, this song gave Aretha her first and only number 1 hit in the UK,

Aretha Franklin loved his voice and wanted to sing with him. She was one of the first to accept him as a soul/blue eyed soul/R&B/pop singer. Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, and Stevie Wonder accepted him in.

I had to watch this twice, these two great singers together was pure heaven! This song has been part of my workout routine for YEARS! George and Elton made a GREAT pair also with Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. I'm so happy you finally did this one.

Take a listen to 'The Long and Winding Road' by Aretha Franklin. It's a Beatles cover, and a great one at that!

George Michael has sang with all the power voices. Whitney, Mary J , yall need to get into it

I knew you'd like this one. Iconic and Aretha knew it. She wanted George to to a duet when he was in WHAM! Her first number one in a very long time.

If you love George Michael’s voice and impassioned performance style, you’ve gotta check out his cover of Queen’s “Somebody To Love”, which he sang with the surviving members of that band at the 1992 Freddie Mercury tribute concert. It is EPIC, and it’s probably the only Queen cover that’s even better than the original. Seriously, that performance is legendary and will convert anybody who still doubts how great a singer he was.

WELL, FINALLY!!!! WE'VE BEEN REQUESTING THIS DUET FOREVER!!!! More great duets: Billy Preston & Syreeta Wright (Stevie Wonder's lst wife) - With You I'm Born Again Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway - The Closer I get to You, Where is the Love George Michael & Mary J .Blige - great cover of Stevie's As Aretha & Annie Lennox - Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves

This totally made my day. I've posted on other George Michael posts, and this is one of my top faves because I absolutely love Aretha. George is definitely beyond pop. The reason why he was able to do a duets with Aretha, Whitney, Mary J, Smokey, etc. Is because he was that great. I really recommend digging way deeper with him. He has more songs that definitely show his talent that would blow your mind, and he could take anyone's song, and I swear sing it better than they did. Not to mention, he sounded even better live. I'm excited for you to really explore his talent❤

I loved that in the background they showed Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and Sonny and Cher. Such a great song.

Guys, this is amazing from two top tier musicians. You’re both asking for more duets well then try this one on for size. You reacted to a song about a month ago that’s good, but when you hear it with the following duet you’ll be blown away. React to George Michael and Elton John singing Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me. It’s recorded live at one of George’s concerts. It’s mind blowing how these two can reproduce a classic and make it a masterpiece. PLEASE give it a go. Keep it up guys

George Michael and Mary J. Blige did a remake (which I usually hate) of "As" by Stevie Wonder and they rocked it. One of my favorite remakes ever. You all should check it out.

Rest well to the 2 Legends that made my Childhood Immortal, Forever Missed & Tina Turner too 😔😪😢🌹💐👏⭐🌟💫🎗🕊

George's singing voice is so effortless, smooth, and crystal clear.

Another duet from this same time period - "What Have I Done To Deserve This" by Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield. It peaked at # 2 in early 1988.

Pure alchemy! Such great memories❤‍🔥 Still hoping for Aretha's performance of "A Natural Woman"at the Kennedy Center Honors for Carole King, who wrote the song. One of Aretha's most powerful recorded performances from her last couple of years.

This takes me straight back to college- if I remember correctly it was 1986? I was in the pub and someone put this on the jukebox - I was stunned, I loved it! xxx

Great song! Two legends with strong vocals ! Another duet George Michael and Whitney Houston - " If I told that " RIP George, Aretha, Whitney!!!!
