    This song is credited as "Wham!" It came out in late 1984, and became the #1 song of 1985 in the USA. The sax riff is one of the most recognized in music history!!!
    There are some songs on George Michael's "Faith" album that are absolutely essential! They are "Faith," "Father Figure" and "One More Try." That album had SIX top 5 hits, including FOUR #1 hits! There are also some Wham! classics, like "Everything She Wants," Freedom" and "A Different Corner."

    George was an exceptionally talented singer and you should check out George as lead singer with" QUEEN " singing SOMEBODY TO LOVE as a tribute to the late Freddie Mercury and this was George at his absolute best and it was an outstanding performance and so worth watching as his vocals are superb and you Guys will love this.

    Freedom '90, Outside, Father Figure, and Fastlove are all excellent songs to check out as well.

    I wasn't into this style of music back in 1984 still this song entered my mind and never let go again!! This is simpy one of those songs that once you heard them they won't let go with you.

    George Michael's song "One more try" is amazing as well as "Praying for Time" If you choose to react to any of those you won't be disappointed
