When I was ten years old, I thought this was the best Wham song. In my mid 20s, I still thought this was the best Wham song. In my late 30s, I remained confident that this was the best Wham song. Closing in on 50 years old, nothing has changed... This is still the best Wham song! (Among many great ones...)
I love how George Michael sings to the camera with a genuine and pure feeling, this is the perfect sample of how to sing with the heart. Rest in piece, he was such an angel. Greetings from Chile.
Yes it's possible. I have been a George Michael fan forever. What a tragic loss his passing was. Most beautiful voice ever. He could sing anything at anytime and it was perfection.
This is one of the best pop songs ever written and produced. I don't care what George (or anyone else) said about Wham but this is the masterclass of pop. Simple, infectious, polished, sophisticated, groovy and flawless vocals. A masterpiece!
@@Ryune_aye No! George Michael himself distanced himself often from his past career with WHAM! He said he doesn't like the music WHAM did in interviews
….but one step further and my back will break. If my best isn’t good enough than how can it be good enough for two? I can’t work any harder than I do! 🔥
I can tell you that I first heard this song at I believe 26 years old or I remember having it on CD playing it over and over and over and I’m pretty certain that this one’s dedicated to queen bee
Andrew, yes, no Wham without him, he had to push and plod GM into doing it. GM, shy and not real confident, Andrew coaxed him into it as a friend. THANK YOU, ANDREW!!❤❤😂❤❤
1984. I was a sophomore in school of economics with 20 yrs of age, I got my bachelor degree in 1988.. Fun time in the nights club from ladies nights on Thursday to Sunday retro nights. Too much party. Now I am 60 yeah old and I remember the 80s with love, fun and good time. I live the best decade of the human being.
1984- I was 16 and no car, wanted so badly to see Wham in concert. Instead just cranked the big RCA console in living room and pretended I was there. Awesome music…RIP George
very much that, real musician that could really play instruments and produce the sound he wanted forget about the amazing singing he was all around MUSICIAN!
You never know what you got until he/she's gone for good... George Michael was one of those rare talents that defines the 80-90's music. Sadly, he's now viewing us from above. Please honour his achievements and celebrate his 53 years of life in positive ways.
Music like this and many songs from the 80's are still around because they are that good....Better than the crap they call music today, that's how i feel...RIP George.
there were tons of shitty artists and bands and groups that made music in the 80s lul. just like the ones today, there are still good bands and music today. people just focus on the main mainstream shit, because it's uninspired and people love drama without really doing much work or anything to truly convince themselves that what they're saying is 100% correct B)
yes there's always been a ton of shitty artists in the radio...but the ratio of decent ones seems to be incredibly reduced nowadays...its basically down to Kendrick and Beyoncé, the rest of the radio staples are shit
❤ Retro music greetings from coastal Mississippi. Man, how l loved WHAM back in the day.....l was honoured to have met George back in the day. What a charming man. I miss you friend😢.
This is the best voice to come out of England since the early eighties and still the best to date. Unfortunately, he died too early. Great singer and a superb voice, so clear and so powerful. He truly was the best.
yep! what a sound it had coming over the radio! so fresh, so exciting! what a pop rock sensation he was! and to think he wrote, produced, and sang nearly every single song he released - and if he didn't write it, he performed it better (like Was Not Was' Where Did Your Heart Go?, Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me, and, Rufus Wainright's Going to a Town)
I use my glasses to write this down: those were the day's of our youth... 40' years ago and now.. we still feel this music as if nothing has changed. We love you Michael ❤
One of my favorite Wham songs. "They told me marriage was a give and take, we'll you've shown me you can take you've got some giving to do". Great lyrics
I had the wonderful opportunity to see George Michaels at the Fabulous Forum the show was so amazing I purchased tickets for one of the additional shows. Wow !
Its crazy his friend gave him his confidence n then he outgrew him with his talent. Its kinda sad his best friend had to let him go to become the mega star he was destined to become
It's Sunday afternoon and the radio just finished playing this gem of a song. Some how I could not help but to shed tears. Glad to know there are others here too who feel the same way about George Michael's music. Regret that I never got a chance to see him perform live. RIP to one of the greatest singer songwriter from the greatest music era, the 80s.
This will ALWAYS be a most cherished song and time. George Michael was the truth and was born to do exactly what he did. All of his goals were achieved. Incredible feat for a young man. Thank God for Andrew Ridgley because there would have been no Wham nor a transformation of Mr Michael, without his influence.
Totalmente cierto...George Michael lo dijo...su amigo lo fué todo....era muy tìmido e inseguro y su mejor amigo todo lo contrario y lo ayudò mucho....influenciò mucho en George para bién.
In 1984, this song & Wham were everything. Still is. George M & Andrew R had the voice, the looks, the style, the moves & the fans. Great memories. Rest in paradise George Michael. Gone too soon❤
The song is clearly influenced by Billie Jean, both the production, the beat and the topic of the lyrics - but still an awesome track and arguably the band's greatest single.
Man you could just not go anywhere without hearing the most unforgettable songs and seeing the most talented artists of our lives in the early to mid 80's. Am I right?
I'm a 60s child growing up listening to The Beatles as a teenager. In the 80s it was and still is George Michael. What a talent what a voice, he wrote amazing songs, ones that stick with you! That's why in 2020 corona virus time, I'm listening more and more! Will keep you alive listening to your fabulous songs!❤❤❤❤
This song has always felt like a secret to me. I am a rocker. It doesn't quiet fit the picture, but I don't care, this song is rocking. Love it to this day.
Michael whipped this off one night on a synth and drum program, wrote up some unusually serious lyrics, and bam (or, Wham!), another #1 hit. The best song of the Wham! era, certainly. Ya know, we didn't take this guy too seriously back then, and yet one of the better pop song writers of the 20th century was under our radar. Amazing. Sorry he died so young. 53 is young, and most of us have cardiomyopathy in our 50s. But for the grace of god go the rest of us. This guy, who wrote some of the music to my youth, was only 5 years older than me, and now I'm as old as he was when he died. Time is a river. But good music is eternal.
How can a 20-21 years old guy can write such fine and mature lyrics. He had everything.
He was way ahead of his age plus genius
@@thestrangestthing5452 He was also a gay man writing about a complex predicament a lot of straight (and gay) men find themselves in. At 20.
He was onlyv15 when he wrote the first
he wrote careless whisper at 16

RIP George Michael (June 25, 1963 - December 25, 2016), aged 53
You will be remembered as a legend.

Sad. That's the age I am now and it's definitely not enough time.
Nooo doubt george is a true legend

What ????!!! I didn't know 😢 rip
Such a great time to be alive the 70s and 80s.

Best times
Yes, it has been downhill since
Absolutely!
When making minimum wage was fun!
We had a radio on & we all sang along working on the line.

And 90's children ☹️
Truly the best era
amen
And now 2019 and this song is fantastic!❤️
The bass in this song is phenomenal.
yes you're right, a Moog Phatty bassline.
Most great songs do ❤
Yeah you gotta drop D if you wanna play it on a bass.
That is only a good sign
Y la percusión expectacular
He was in Paris when he did everything for this song,,every instrument ...

In my mid 20s, I still thought this was the best Wham song.
In my late 30s, I remained confident that this was the best Wham song.

The 80's wasn't a decade, it was an emotion.
“My god I don’t even think that I love you” bro that sounded so good it brings a tear to my eye
3:52
That has to be one of the most soul-crushing things you can say to a person. Savage.
LOL!
That's my favorite part of the song.

Miss you George xxx RIP angel x
1984 seriously was the best year in music....
I agree
Hoy..hace 40 años❤🇨🇱
It's from 1985 not 84

Dang, is it at all possible to miss someone you've NEVER met? I miss this dude and his music.
Its possible
@@nasrilbachtiar5480 Thank you for your answer, because I had the same doubt as Shannon.
yes it is.... seriously, it is. Music does that to you

Has officially turned 40 years. Still one of the greatest songs ever created. Absolute masterpiece.
This is one of the best pop songs ever written and produced.
I don't care what George (or anyone else) said about Wham but this is the masterclass of pop.
Simple, infectious, polished, sophisticated, groovy and flawless vocals.
A masterpiece!
Definitely not pop,But border line R&B...Like so many 80's & 90' bands
George from culture club wud he say?
@@Ryune_aye No! George Michael himself distanced himself often from his past career with WHAM!
He said he doesn't like the music WHAM did in interviews
Absolutely true.this song is so perfect....it would be a great song to dedicate to someone you love
At the time, the LP Wham: Make It Big was in every household's collection of vinyl's along wit the staple, Thriller.
"I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to." Awesome lyric - raw!
….but one step further and my back will break. If my best isn’t good enough than how can it be good enough for two? I can’t work any harder than I do! 🔥
Rest in Paradise, Georgie!
Don't ask if we're still here ... We never left ... 💗💗💗
❤😂🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😅😊
This has been my favourite song for many years, it never gets old.
Can you imagine having during the same time both Wham and tears for fears lol
Only in 2020's you realize how lucky that generation was artistically.
Never.
It's so sad, though.
I can tell you that I first heard this song at I believe 26 years old or I remember having it on CD playing it over and over and over and I’m pretty certain that this one’s dedicated to queen bee
Right?!?!
There's no one like George Michael. What an epic performer he was.
Да, НЕТ никого лучше ..❤❤❤
And I love you for it
I just want you
We have the proof!
💯
I never get tired of listening to George Michael songs.
And Andrew Ridgeley Seems many postings forget to mention “the other guy” in the video.
Andrew, yes, no Wham without him, he had to push and plod GM into doing it. GM, shy and not real confident, Andrew coaxed him into it as a friend. THANK YOU, ANDREW!!❤❤😂❤❤

2025 anyone for this legendary song ❤
Loved George Michael. RIP. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beat is ahead of it’s time
What a soul soothing voice!!!
Take me back to 1980's 🙂
Can I tag along??🤔
He has a lovely voice
I have to listen for that very soothing experience everyday!🎉
can we all go back
80ies baby here and i agree 1981 for me
1984. I was a sophomore in school of economics with 20 yrs of age, I got my bachelor degree in 1988.. Fun time in the nights club from ladies nights on Thursday to Sunday retro nights.

like how you flex on us 80 lovers from this generation
Music from the 80's continues to get better. How is that possible?
cause day by day it stands up against the test of time
Because music today just keeps getting worse
Because music today is garbage Period
It's so hard to keep a person happy these days. Speaks volumes then and now.
I NEVER " EVER! " GET TIRED OF THIS SONG!!!
PERIOD!!!

Me either!! This will always be my shit!

1984- I was 16 and no car, wanted so badly to see Wham in concert. Instead just cranked the big RCA console in living room and pretended I was there. Awesome music…RIP George
same here, 16 in ‘84. what a great time it was
He, like so many singers from that time, had such pure raw talent and charisma! No autotune needed whatsoever. Continue to R.I.P. Legend
very much that, real musician that could really play instruments and produce the sound he wanted forget about the amazing singing he was all around MUSICIAN!
Yeah
These voices no longer exist!
In 1984 I’m in 6th grade, all the girls looooove this guy, I can’t compete 😂. RIP George.
Cual es la diferensia porqie sera de tan manera
Es asies
George has an insane amount of soul in music.
That man had some soul! I absolutely loved him!
You never know what you got until he/she's gone for good... George Michael was one of those rare talents that defines the 80-90's music. Sadly, he's now viewing us from above. Please honour his achievements and celebrate his 53 years of life in positive ways.

Shane Anthony bizcocho
Totally amazing!!! He is singing my life!!!
This song is so awesome. It has such a groovy disco/pop vibe to it. Sounds like it could have been #1 on the charts in 1979.
Nah, their sound was totally pop 80s. The seventies was disco. They weren't ready for this in 79.....
An often forgotten Wham song but in my opinion one of the best
forgotten? Nothing from george michael is EVER "forgotten"
#1 pop/rock musician in history and even the ones who do not agree place him top 5.

DO THAT 🎵 🚗 🚓 🚔
