There is a video on RUclips that I suggest you listen to Jamal. It is called Harmonica Blues compilation, and I think that you would absolutely love the earliest versions of the music that brings you joy now. Also, the stank face it gives you is indescribable.
The video is like a mini soap opera. When you're careless you're gonna pay the consequences. The song is beautifully done and sung. Miss you George! RIP!😥❤
As talented as George Michael was , he was even more generous. His philanthropy was not disclosed until after his death, he was a kind man and a true gentleman. Can you review Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Power of Love? That video and that song are beautiful!!
Careless whisper is a beautiful song love George Michael he had such a great voice man one of my favorite songs jamel great reaction it's a awesome song great video man👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So, the story goes that although George wrote the song himself age 15/16 years old, he added Andrew Ridgeley (his partner in Wham) to the writing credits so that Andrew would always be taken care of financially.
The thing that never ceases to amaze me about this song is how he could write a song sooo deep at the age of 17...an absolute legend... One of the best singers ever as well.
I'm sad I didn't fully appreciate George Michael when he was alive and making music. His solo music and stuff he made with Wham! is pop majesty. That said, I wasn't a hater; he just wasn't fully on my radar back then. Also, no dislikes so far. Even the haters love them some George. Finally, that saxophone lick is the GOAT sax lick.
Thanks for the George Michael love. He didn’t like to sing the song in concert as he got older because it didn’t mean anything to him, but he did it because his fans loved it. Imagine him writing this sax bit at 17!
As a child of the '80s, I gotta say, I miss saxophones in songs. Didn't realize how vital it was back in my teens. But now...gawd...miss it. I've loved this song for decades now...Thanks for bringing it some love here.
George Michael was such a legend. This song is just a sample of his greatness. One of the greatest love songs ever written. Thank you for the reaction. Such a great 80s memory 👍🎶
Finally!! Thanks Jamal. More George Michael please. Spinning the Wheel, Jesus to a Child, One More Try, They Won’t Go When I Go, A Different Corner, Father Figure, etc. He wrote, composed, arranged, and produced all his songs as well as playing some instruments. And there are duets with Mary J Blige, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Mutya Buena, etc.
Was never a big George Michaels fan or wham for that matter BUT, Hold up. I'm now older and wiser. That sax line is Fire!! And gotta give credit where credits due. Dude could sing!!! And I get it why the girls were goin nuts for him. RIP George. Great song👍🙏
I knew the "bad girl" in this video, such a beautiful, shy, and unaffected person, nothing like what she portrayed in this video, she was not an actress but a model who was chosen strictly for her "look", sadly she passed away in 2012 from cancer, we all greatly miss you sweet Madeline Andrews.
When this song first came out, I was young and really didn't grasp what he was singing about; like maybe doing somebody wrong and then trying to dance with the consequences, but now...for as quality as George Michael could sing, he could be talking about the rounds for a dumpster driver on a typical work day and it still would be a hit.
George Michael was the lead of the group “Wham!” with Andrew Ridgeley. I was a teenager in high school when this song debuted. This song is an absolute classic. RIP George.
Even if is not a “real reaction” as you said (and I totally relate to it), I must say that is nice to hear great music together with you, specially because it’s always a pleasure to listen great artists as George over and over again. Thanks for helping to keep his art alive.
The man is so very missed even till today such a shame he never had a child to pass on his legacy in hopes of getting all that good heartened and talent as well love you george I miss you 🥺🥺🥺💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏
This is one of many George Michael songs that, you can be as "manly" as you want, but you know you sing this in the car on the way to work. Freedom is another. If you aren't belting out Freedom when it comes on, you need to see a dr.
George wrote this song as a teenager! Such an incredible talent! Amazing songwriter, one of the best singers EVER, a talented musician, inspiring composer, genius lyricist, and arranger, plus a philanthropist, and oh so charming and passionate, etc...! And besties with the wonderful, happy, and sweet Andrew! Thank you for responding to this video, Mel! 🥰 (Ok, yes, i got a little excited! 😁 But it's WHAM!! 🎊)
Definitely a top 5 in the Sax Category! Right up there with: Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street Sade - Smooth Operator Men at Work - Who can it be now? Beastie Boys - Brass Monkey
One of the greatest singers and songs in music history!! The sax player is excellent. I believe you may enjoy IM YR MAN, when he was a part of Wham. Good day!
Ok when this came out in 84…i was a married young mom…but oh my…I was not dead..i melted into a complete puddle. The saxophone literally went thru my nerve endings …..I have listened to it zillions of times and it still does that…..listen to me out there you guys…good music has no years…period. i was so sad when he told us his real feelings but there is no sexier man to either sex. Love my Micheal
what an amazing person George was, he wrote this song when he was 16/ 17 , he wrote the music and the lyrics..... fun fact here...after Aretha Franklin heard that George had wrote this song himself, she asked him to write a song for her and at the time he was still unsure of himself and said no.... when he had decided to go solo and was still with Wham! , he approached Clive Davis and asked to do a duet with one of his artists for his first solo song and that is where I Knew You Were Waiting came from ...his duet with Aretha !

Please Please Please
Listen to Maxi Priest... Close To You...
Released 1990...You will Love this song...

It’s a fantastic saxophone here! Undoubtedly.
However, we can’t really compare with the jazz legends and such.
Nonetheless, sublime sax 🎷🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻✌🏻
"I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm." That's poetry, my friends.
And he and his buddy wrote this at 17 years old 😳
This song will forever be a CLASSIC.
You read my mind...exactly what i wanted to post.
Yep! 🎷❤️🎵
And Father Figure!
Amen
We were blessed to be young when this came out.
He wrote that masterpiece when He was only 16
Amazing singer, rest in peace to George Michael
Thank you brother ♥️
And he eventually disliked the song. It was one of his least favorite songs.
@@ashleydowney1222 what about that ha?
And It's one of his most famous songs
Thought he was 17 ?
@@ethanlavelle6877 ugh...seriously?
HE CO WROTE IT WITH ANDREW RIDGELEY
Rip George Michael. Another legend that will always be remembered.
Yes he was. Alas, eventually we will all be skeletons.
The video is like a mini soap opera. When you're careless you're gonna pay the consequences. The song is beautifully done and sung. Miss you George! RIP!😥❤
I couldn’t have said it better.
@@christinewaide5249 Thank you!😊
For me George Michael is one of the greatest singers in the history of music. His voice is unmatched!
My heart broke when this magical singer died 💔 always loved this song so very much! We lost too many great ones 😪
*George Michael - Cowboys & Angels.* Immaculate. One for the list.
Beautiful song. I love every song from Listen Without Prejudice. ♥️🎶
As talented as George Michael was , he was even more generous. His philanthropy was not disclosed until after his death, he was a kind man and a true gentleman. Can you review Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Power of Love? That video and that song are beautiful!!
george gave away around $10million,,,
@@nonenone7250 IIRC, he was giving something else away in a bathroom and got in biiiig trouble for it.
Oh, I was going to suggest 'Frankie Goes to Hollywood' as well.
This song don't need any explanation, just see the video and listen to George.
@@Befree898 They're saying this song didn't mean anything to him, he just wrote it. Do you think there is an actual "Stairway to Heaven" too? LOL
This song is like a Time Machine to 1984! Definite Top 5 in the Sax Dept.! RIP George Michael
A tour de force. Beautiful. Sublime.
This song will play on forever... A classic and damn that 📯 is killer
It's got to be the most recognized sax solo. Love it!
724 million views is impossible...I've watched it a billion times! Thanks for reacting...RIP George
Careless whisper is a beautiful song love George Michael he had such a great voice man one of my favorite songs jamel great reaction it's a awesome song great video man👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Blue eyed soul at its very best!! My cousin once attended a concert with George Michael and says it's one of the best concerts he has ever been to!
So, the story goes that although George wrote the song himself age 15/16 years old, he added Andrew Ridgeley (his partner in Wham) to the writing credits so that Andrew would always be taken care of financially.
Shouldn't last Christmas have sorted that out?
@@Thisandthat8908 no.
The thing that never ceases to amaze me about this song is how he could write a song sooo deep at the age of 17...an absolute legend... One of the best singers ever as well.
One of the best songs written by a teenager ever!!

Everything She Wants is a much overlooked Wham! classic.
Thanks for the George Michael love. He didn’t like to sing the song in concert as he got older because it didn’t mean anything to him, but he did it because his fans loved it. Imagine him writing this sax bit at 17!
Another Beautiful Soul gone way to soon..
Your legacy lives on ...
You are missed George rest in peace love..
I fell in love with him to this song. What a voice. Guilty feet have got no rhythm. Unreal. Loving your reaction Jamel! Thank you for this. Bliss❤️
16 years old was he when he wrote this....truly special.
One of the best voices and singer ever.
All George Michael songs are fantastic❤❤
The sax playing is a 10 out of 10- fantastic.
This and "You Belong to the City" by Glenn Frey have such great sax playing.... 10/10 for sure.
You should watch the China live version
I have always loved this song... OMG... that sax!!!!!!!!!!! And the lyrics and his voice. Incredible!
Glad you reacted to GM. Miss you George RIP!
Wham's "A Different Corner" never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Classic George Michael. RIP.
A true legend. Sorely missed. Had many slow, smoochy dances to this classic
Love George Michael love this song....

So Missed ..dear George
the music was immaculate in this song...the lyric great and great vocals. just masterpiece.

One of my all time favorite songs.
The world lost a truly talented person in George Michael

Have always loved this song. RIP George Michael. ☮️ You’re music will always be remembered.
That sax alone is iconic!
I love George, he is my favorite singer in the world and this is my favorite song!
George was only 17 when he wrote this and gives a preview of the great songwriter he would become.
George was, is and will always be my number one male singer ever, such an artist sadly not with us anymore. Love your reaction, thanks for sharing
This is one of many George Michael songs that, you can be as "manly" as you want, but you know you sing this in the car on the way to work. Freedom is another. If you aren't belting out Freedom when it comes on, you need to see a dr.
That sax blooms and grows. It is way up there.
Another gem from the greatest year of the 80s. 1984. No1 in the Summer. Remember smooching to this one.
George wrote this song as a teenager! Such an incredible talent! Amazing songwriter, one of the best singers EVER, a talented musician, inspiring composer, genius lyricist, and arranger, plus a philanthropist, and oh so charming and passionate, etc...!

(Ok, yes, i got a little excited! 😁 But it's WHAM!! 🎊)
George had a gorgeous voice....another icon gone too soon...thanks for your reaction, Jamel...💔💖
Definitely a top 5 in the Sax Category!
Right up there with:
Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
Sade - Smooth Operator
Men at Work - Who can it be now?
Beastie Boys - Brass Monkey
Brother Theresa knows what's up
Deacon Blues?
@@UnknownDamone, wouldn’t really classify that as a Sax Song. It’s more of a timeless classic with an excellent sax solo.
yep
No Clarence?
Shout out to the INCREDIBLE Bass work on this song. The instrumentation as a whole is just MASTERFUL
This song can bring even an angry badass, to teary eyes.
One of the greatest ever!!!!!
Legendary sax intro. I lost my mind when I first heard this song. 😊😘🔥
I just love this song my best friend bought me this song for my 18th birthday on vinyl👍❤🎶🎶
Jamel thanks for keeping great music alive! And the saxophone playing is very beautiful and is important to this classic song. R.I.P. George.
One of my guilty pleasure singers... along with Bee gees ....80s Metal Head.....
My favorite song from the 80's!
He is legend. RIP George, the world did not deserve you especially the way it treated you.
The instrumental alone stands up as a beautiful piece of music!
Every slow dance my entire high school life.
Every mix tape left at my door.
Don't let the collars fool you. The 80/90s had a lot of sentimental guys.
Haven't heard this great song in a long time great to hear this one again
Oh yeah !!! One of the PREMIERE slow jams of the 80's. Great choice !
I was in high school when this came out! Will always be my favorite song! RIP George!
One of the greatest singers and songs in music history!! The sax player is excellent. I believe you may enjoy IM YR MAN, when he was a part of Wham. Good day!
Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince and George Michael. The best of the 80's! Jamel can we see more of these artist on your channel.
George's MTV Unplugged is AMAZING!!
