  • *Live footage but not the full song/This is all my tape has (perhaps all that was filmed)** - Aretha Franklin guests w/ George Michael on "Knew You Were Waiting" at his Detroit show in 1988. The video doesn't have the full song, but it's likely this all that was filmed (at least by this cameraman). The video is still much longer/cleaner than the broadcasted segment which has been on RUclips. After the song footage cuts there is a raw interview w/ Aretha recorded just after she came off stage.

    I was there! Only 14 years old. It was ELECTRIFYING!!! We lost our minds when Aretha hit that stage! I was George Michael obsessed, so put Aretha on top of that? Unmatched! 💙💚 Their voices were superb.

    Ms. Aretha didn’t like many ppl so the fact that she liked George enough to agree to do a duet with him tells you all you know about him. Not to mention the duets with Whitney and Mary J. ❤️

    There is absolutely no one in music history who has had such a meteoric rise than the legendary George Michael. He-like Aretha Franklin-was truly exceptional. From 1983 to 1987 (group to solo career- years), George became a contender with Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson; juggernauts and proven stuperstars-many times over. I guess Madonna might be someone who moved to the top of the music food chain as quickly if not quicker as I am now recalling. Bravo Mr George Michael! I will forever, fondly remember your music and how it made me feel when I first heard it. God bless your spirit's journey.
