    This won the grammy for best duet in 1988 and also soared Aretha's career again especially in the UK. George adored her. My fav will always be his duet with Mary J. Blige "As" though. He sang with the best of them, Whitney & Beyonce too.

    I love this song! I had the Joy of being at the George Michael concert in Detroit (home of Aretha Franklin). She's afraid of flying, so her touring was somewhat limited. Since she was in her city, SHE SHOWED UP & they performed this song!!! It was Magnificent & I had the Best seats (& yes, George was even more gorgeous in person). He was such an admirer of hers & sought her out to work with her. Now, they're both gone & they just tore down the arena (Palace of Auburn Hills), but these two will forever live in my heart, esp. seeing them together. 💖

    The video you must react to is the George Michael tribute to Freddie Mercury with Queen from 1992, George absolutely killed the song "SOMEBODY TO LOVE", Freddy would have been looking down and saying "God I Wish I Was There This Is Fantastic" what a talent George was, and only really appreciated with what a great voice he had when he was gone, R.I.P George and Freddy, truly missed so much.

Girl we were as shocked as you when they premiered this video,..had no idea at the time they they were collaborating together,..Aretha,..she was still in it darlin,..I teared up like I think you did, but only because like you said,.they're both gone,..its hard to believe such God given talent had walked the earth,so long ago, seems a lifetime ago,..George,..ohh God,.the boy had pipes,..you know Aretha wouldn't have done a song with him if he didn't,.huh,..ohh and she also did a song with Annie Lenox,. "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves", again Aretha didn't play around,..she worked with people who could share the stage,.stand up to muster as they say,..I was too thrilled when that song came out,..another woman impowerment song!,..that song should've existed when women were working in bomb factories during WW II, there's a picture of a woman with her sleeves rolled up, and flexing her biceps 💪 you know,..I don't remember if its in the actual video,..but I think of that with that song, women are a force,..I would blast that song on the radio,..and when it was on MTV,..yess there's a video for that too!,..ohh and in this video, did you see the video behind Aretha?,.did you see the couple?,.Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terell,..guess it was a like honorable nod,.tribute to them,..might have been around the time Marvin died, not sure,..do keep going,..some older established artists would collaborate with younger up and coming artists,..look at Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga,..I so love that they did that,..its such a joy,.young artist like Gaga,..getting a little mentoring from someone like Bennett,..who worked with the greats,.Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Burt Bacharach, it rubs off and can only enrich Gaga's work from here on,..God bless, so thankful she got to work with him,..do keep going young people,.do latch on to this old music,..many old artists are gone and leaving ,..thank you for taking an interest, Godspeed, Peace ✌
