#Wham #GeorgeMichael - Zábava
Just think George went on to become one of the most loved stars and songwriters of our lifetime. Genius in the making. This is just fun. More George Michael Please!! Thank you.💕
George was 18 when the song was first released. Early June 1982. His 19th birthday was later that month.
Wham ! It is so funny to watch again those songs after all those years !
George Michael's voice was absolutely gorgeous... and nobody is watching his chest respectfully... never 😆
Glad it’s not just me! 😂❤️
...so true!!! 😆😆😆
LOL For real ! 😁 I'm 69 & I'm not watching George's chest respectfully, at all ! 😂😂😂 Love you, George ! ❤ Mwah 💋
" I'm your man" is the best song by far, but so underrated, the sax, the bass, the looks of George, everything is Great!
He's at his most gorgeous.
Underrated in 🇺🇸not in Europe
WHAM! were HUGE... Even if Andrew Ridgeley was fake in everything...! George was WHAM! for everything, as he was in his solo career.
Too long to say..!!!
George was a GENIUS, an ICON, a very private person and philanthropist you have no idea...!!!
HIS generosity was endless..!!!
Maybe too much sometimes ..!!! A lot of Gold diggers around him..!!! 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Kitcat363 certainly not... !!!!
@@carolinegilles9181 Andrew was true in his friendship and gave George the courage to get on stage. Why you have to be down on the man. He was just as much a part of Wham! becoming a thing. We all know George was the musical talent, but a performing group is more than that.
It just doesn't get much better than those guys in their early 20s giving it their all. Speaking for myself, you don't have to be as gay as a box of birds to fully enjoy these - but it sure helps. My gaydar was pegged all those years ago when I first heard the lyric in WMUBYGG, "You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day." I turned to my friend and said "I think George rides our bus." As you have no doubt surmised, we had a lot of fun in our 80's club days. Thanks, Dude.
Haha, that’s great! Thank you so much for watching. 😊
Right? I remember first seeing the video of WMUBYGG, with George wearing earings in both ears (men didn't at the time), not to mention the hair, the tight short shorts, and Doris freakin' Day and thinking the same: This man has gotta be as hard-core gay as I am!
And yet every woman I knew at the time would have........ 😉
@@rogerstarkey5390 I'm gay and I would have. I loved George since I was 11 - it was his fault I thought I was bi for so long! We love who we love. The first Wham! songs esp Bad Boys were total piss takes and George admitted as much - they were age 18/19 on those videos in Wham! Rap; Bad Boys. George had a great sense of humour and I miss him more than I can say. Also, RIP Deon Estus the amazing bass player in the I'm Your Man video died a week ago xx. Thanks so much, Bryson for the reaction - stare away at gorgeous George all you want, we all did and still do!! :D X
It was Wake me Up that woke me up to George Michael.. the moment he threw his back with fingerless gloves..😂..It was amazing how his sexuality was even up for debate, but he admitted in an interview, that if he came out, it would've ended his career, and he was right..
Lots of WHAM songs have an old Motown feel to them.
“If you’re gonna do it, do it right! Do it with me.”
In love with George🥰 and always will be!!!! That voice …. That face… miss him!
I was 19 years old and in love with George Michael. Many years later, I am a wife, mother and grandmother.
Thank you for reminding me of the young and carefree George...a beautiful man, with a beautiful soul.xx
Thank you for watching! 😊
The guy on sax in the "I'm Your Man" video is none other than Andy Hamilton, who also played with Duran Duran a lot (he did the sax solos on Rio, Tiger Tiger, Union of the Snake... and toured with them 1982-1984 & again on the reunion tour in 2004-2005).
What, that was Andy???? Now I have to go back and watch again. I never knew that!
I was a teen in the 80's, loved Wham! & had one of those white "GO GO" tees w/ neon pink print! I wore it every week! & It was funny, my aunt once said, "George Michael just has to sit on my couch so I can just stare at him for hours!" 😂😂 ❤❤
I would LOVE one of those shirts. Also, your aunt really gets it! 😂😂😂
I didn't want this to end! Wham! Rap was Wham's first song and it was 1982, George was 19 when it was released. It's actually quite a political song. Britain in 1982 was experiencing its highest unemployment rates, George mentions the DHSS = Department of Health and Social Services, if you were out of work, unemployed, you could 'sign on' with the DHSS for Government assistance while you looked for work.
It’s so funny that as a kid I never understood what this song was about. Listening to it now I’m like 😱. I just thought it was about being too cool to work haha. And I guess technically it is but there’s a deeper meaning to it.
I’ll definitely be giving the song another listen so that I can pay closer attention to the lyrics. As always, thank you for watching! ❤️
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude another bit on context, at the beginning George says 'B1 and B2, make a claim on your name is all you have to do' the B1 and B2 were the forms you had to fill in to apply for benefits. And 'down the line' refers to the job line = there would be long queues at the job centres, where people would go to try and find jobs, often out the door and into the streets and they would have to wait for ages to be seen.
George was 18 when Wham! Rap was released. So you are right, they looked young and were young. It was Wham’s first record in early 1982. I saw them making one of their first public appearances at Bolts gay club in London that year. They were so polished that I had a feeling that with the right material they would be very big.
I was HUGELY into Wham back in the 80's, They were a massive part of my teenage years! Great Feel Good Music 🎶🎵🇬🇧🎤🎼❤️ George decided on a solo career and shot to stardom with his incredible talent as a songwriter and producer. ADORED HIM SO SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Saw him live in Manchester and I'll never forget it! God Bless Him... RIP Yog xxx
Oh, it must be that day of the week where you show up to make my week! Because let me tell you, this has by far been my favorite set of videos you’ve reacted to so far. I have so many feelings!
Bad Boys-This is definitely in my top 3 Wham songs/videos. That dance sequence at the end really does add a lot, and I love them in their leather bad boy outfits. Such a cool vibe.
I’m Your Man-I’d actually never seen that intro/outro before! So this was awesome! And they have such great energy on stage, don’t they? You can stare at George’s chest, I’ll cover the hips.
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go-What I loved most about this is your smile as it went on. It’s impossible to not smile when watching this one, isn’t it? The song is so upbeat and infectious, and you see the fun side of the boys in the video. It’s one of my favorites for that reason.
Wham Rap-Yes, they were SO young! I love the dancing in it and the scenes with the parents as well.
So as much as I love George Michael as an artist, you can see why I was heartbroken when Wham! separated. They had this fun energy that no one else did and that’s what I still miss to this day. You’ve now covered all of my favorites except Edge of Heaven, which I think is necessary to complete the Wham! saga. It’s their last performance, their goodbye video for fans. And I get emotional every time but it’s also so fun and upbeat that it puts you in a good mood just like all of these did. Thank you so so much for reacting to these! You really did brighten my day and now I’m in a good mood, too!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. I do share your sentiments regarding their energy. Each of these music videos managed to put a smile on my face, even though I’m quite late to the party. 😊❤️
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude It’s never too late to appreciate good music. 😊
"Yes, George. Swing those hips." LOL!
WHAM RAP Wham's first single and was reworked for later releases - specifically the lyrics are completely different. But man ... listen to the extended version from 'The Final' album, it's an absolute BANGER. Also from the same album listen to BattleStations, very much a leadup to George's solo career.
Wake me up before you go go was inspired by Andrew writing George a note while George was sleeping great reaction as always 🙏😎 I too didn't know that I needed a dance sequence 😂😂😂😂
That's awesome! 😂 Thank you for watching!!
Actually, it was Andrew who wrote a.note to his mother to wake him up the next morning. He accidently wrote "Wake me before you go (go)
George Michael was such a brilliant singer. With Wham it was still a little boy-band bubblegum, but they were sooooo popular. Loved them too. The older George was more himself and became better and better. Gone too soon..... :( LJ
Love Wham! Such good songs that it’s hard not to dance to if the music is upbeat. Definitely would have wanted more from them together.
Thank you for watching! 😊
You should do Edge of Heaven - such a fun farewell song for the band!
I was a very innocent circa fourth grade girl when these videos came out, so funny to watch these through your eyes now!!
Oh, beautiful George. Still a few more Wham! videos for you to check out, but maybe add to that Deon Estus; "Heaven Help me" that came out in the late 80s. He was their bass player and you see him quite a bit in "I'm your man". Such a good song and George does background vocals 💞
Thank you for watching! 😊❤️
OMG YES I've been waiting for the Bad Boys reaction (well, all of them, but particularly that one).
The wait is over! Thank you for watching! 😊
These songs make me such a great mood! Thanks for your video ♥
George is just adorable in the "Wake Me Up" video and so incredibly sexy in "I’m Your Man" 😍😍 And as for "Bad Boys" and "Wham! Rap" I can definitely say that his legs are just made for blue skinny jeans 🔥
I share your sentiments! Thank you for watching. 😊
You’ve Made My Day! The band Wham is like the word wham….it doesn’t mean much and yet gets the point across in a fun way. On a side note, Dion Estes, the bass player for both Wham and G.M. passed away recently. If you get the chance, you should react to Heaven Help Me by Dion with GM backing vocals.
Thank you so much for watching!
I love that song so much.
Oh my god that song with dion Estes is amazing
Just brilliant! The soundtrack of my youth. Gets even better with age.
Last Christimas is the first song that pops in my head when thinking about this group. Lol
This is the soundtrack to my childhood…happy days! Thanks for the trip down memory lane…😁
the eighties were FUN!
George showed real maturity with "Careless Whisper" and."A Different Corner", his future solo career was no surprise.
apparently Grandmaster Flash commented that the first line of Wham Rap -' hey everybody take a look at me, ive got street cred-ibil-ity' is one of the best lines in rap
Good to see some Wham reactions. Still miss George and RIP Bassist Deon Estus...
Hey there Pancake! Glad to see you enjoyed Wham! The background vocalists Pepsi and Shirley and their bassist, Deon Estus had come out with albums of their own. "Heartache" from Pepsi and Shirley. "Heaven Help Me" from Deon Estus who unfortunately recently passed away. Their albums weren't successful in the US but those 2 singles are worth a listen. Enjoy! 🎶
I was a huge Wham fan when I was young teenager and had all their albums. I listened to them over and over and knew all the words to their songs, some I still remember.
George and Andy were really good since the beginning of their career, especially George, who became one of the greatest performer and songwriter in his solo career. They were 21 in these days and The Marquee was a very famous club in London in which all '80 musicians played. The chorists, Pepsie & Shirlie recorded one or two hits and the blonde one, Shirlie, is Martin Kemp's wife (Spandau Ballet bassist player). London music scene in these days was incredible and I remember I desired to live there in the '80 (I'm italian). Good reaction ❤
Thank you for watching!
The 2nd song is one of my favorites. My other is EVERYTHING SHE WANTS.
Had so much fun watching this. I was 14 in ‘84; he was everywhere.
George Michael--scary talented. He could have legitimately taken over in Queen.
The Edge Of Heaven, Careless Whisper, Last Christmas, Credit Card Baby and Everything She Wants are all Wham bangers worth checking out!
George was, is, and will continue to be my first love.. I think the whole entire world was in love with him. What a Heartbreaker... gone too soon, RIP GEORGE 💕💕💕
Aretha Franklin’s song Freeway Of Love sounds so much like I’m Your Man, same sound and instrumentation. Since they did a duo together, George had to have produced that song for her. They’re too similar to just be a coincidence.
Have you already listened to (I Can’t remember)
A Different Corner
Father Figure
Praying For Time
One More Try
Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Jesus To A Child
Kissing A Fool
If you haven’t.. these are some of his best works, and will show you much softer and passionate side of George where his voice really shines.
George was such a massive Queen/Freddie Mercury fan, and the inspiration, it really shows in his music.
Gone too soon, Rest In Peace, Mr. George Michael.
I’ve covered all of those on the channel except “A Different Corner” 😊
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude
That one is definitely worth a listen.
It’s one of my favorites, I’ve sung it many times, both at karaoke and live with only my guitar to accompany my voice, and it’s just a good song.
Lots of long notes held with lingering vibrato, saturated with that delicious reverb and delay that we know him for.
The WHAM RAP was their first single and had been performing it in local discos. According to RIDGELY ( George Andrew and another schoolmate became friends and musical collaborators in high school) they planned early on to become big-time pop stars. I guess they had the pulse of the British youth because very shortly
the press decended on them and their records went to no 1. THIS WAS HOW YOU BECAME A FAMOUS POP GROUP in those days. I've never seen anything quite like WHAM. Kudos on your reviews and comments. The videography is hilarious and gets your attention at the same time. You didn't have to be a teen to enjoy the vibe WHAM projected. I think the game surprised them as well.
Thank you so much for watching!
Lmao my whole room was covered with wham! Posters when I was a little kid. I still love and miss George so much. Ps I had a ' choose life' tshirt lol. Pps they were 20 in wham rap lol
Perfect blend of music and vocals
czcams.com/video/JX_zmcVE0Wc/video.html
I love this version of wham wrap better
Yeesss!! Wham really did help popularize neon colors and fingerless gloves with this video.❤️
Please make a part 2..... this was fun☝️
Sure thing! Thanks for watching. 😊
Love This! I'm Your Man is definitely my favorite WHAM song. Could you do Wham in China Live. The song is called Blue. George's live vocals are amazing as usual.
You would look great in finger-less gloves! Loved your reaction. Your humor is a joy 😁🤩✨!
Thank you!!
As a young gun myself in the 80s I really loved Wham! and still listen to then now.
There is another version of the Wham rap that is even better. They look the cutest on the "Club Tropicana" video. If you liked "Bad boys" check out "Young Guns"
yes ive been waiting for this!!
😊❤️
I'm in a good mood too now. The combo of talent, beats, colour, dance and cheese, adds up to FUN! Thank you for this.
Thank you for this! I love Wham!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Speaking of the '80s could you do a Culture Club selection. It's a miracle, Victims, War Song and Move Away.
Rewatching your reaction vids to Wham! because I recently just rewatched the documentary on Netflix
It was so much fun watching you explore the iconic music of WHAM! and their videos for the first time. WHAM! the documentary on NETFLIX is excellent if you haven't already seen it. I was really thrilled to see how you immediately picked up on the amazing production of these songs - the rhythms, the harmonies, the infusion of sax at precise moments - along with zeroing in on the cultural and fashion statements being made in their videos. Each and every one of them is a time capsule of the early 80s! Very perceptive. I don't think George or Andrew ever got enough credit for the amazing production of their music, let alone the value of their song-writing genius. BTW I believe both boys were 19 when "Wham Rap - Enjoy What You Do!" - their debut single - came out. WHAM!'s music remains timeless, classic, ageless and a pure joy to listen to all these years later. They deserve to be heard and celebrated for generations to come. Thank you for sharing! 💖💖💖
Boi I just KNOW everyone watching this video was smiling. If there isn't absolute CRACK in their songs- It's literally just PURE serotonin wrapped up in music istg
Wham! Rap and Bad Boys were when George & Andy were 18.
I was lucky enough to see George live twice. He was probably the most important performer in my life for over half my life, and his death was devastating in 2016.
But I'm glad he's finding a new audience. It's nice to see some of this stuff coming up. They were very, very campy and I think George kind of regretted that later because he had to sue the record company for the right to make the music he wanted to make. It wound up depriving us of a lot of music for a few years.
During the lawsuit, George did a tour in which he refused to play any of his own music because he didn't want to make the record company any money -- so all he did was cover songs for the whole concert, stuff like Lady Marmelade and Stevie's Superstition and Elton John, etc. I was a very lucky teenaged girl and got to see that concert live.
Then I saw him again around 2011 or so, when he was a very different person onstage but still wildly fun to see.
***
Just a technical note on your stuff: It would be great if you could change the mix level for your voice input versus the music audio -- right now, you're drowning out the music and it's kinda disorienting when watching it. I like that you raise the voice mix a bit, but it's too out of balance right now. Tweak it a bit and it'll be great. It's really nice to hear your interjections, though. It sounds like you talking is 80% of the volume versus 20% for the music when it should be 60-40/50-50 or such, at least.
(First time watching you! I''ve queued a couple more.)
Thank you for the reaction collection!!! You're awesome!!! WHAM ROCKS!!!!
Thank-you for doing this video! To me, Wham! was what the 80's were all about! Genuine simple fun, 2 good-looking guys, and you could totally dance to their music!
Thank you for watching! 😊
FABULOUS! I had a crappy day today and this was just what I needed to lift my spirits. You gotta do a part two. There is so much more young Wham! to enjoy. I gotta say, I thought the shorts George was wearing in the Wake Me Up vid would get a special mention. He looked so hot in them and had great legs. I swear back in the day we had no idea he was gay but when you look back now, I guess it's easier to imagine. The vids were camp fun, but much of the music/vids in the 80s was. On a serious(ish) note, before George came out, he was dating a lady called Pat. She's the black woman with the plaits in the Wake Me Up vid. As a mixed race kid growing up in a still very prejudiced time, I cannot tell you how much I loved finding out he had a black girlfriend who wasn't stick thin - even if she was possibly a beard. As you can tell, George was my idol growing up. I adored him and still do. Thanks SO much for doing this special on Wham! Loved it and loved your reaction.
I am sending you my best regards. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your memories!! Seems like George's ability to make people smile is timeless. That said, there will ABSOLUTELY be an Episode 2. 🙂♥️
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude I just checked your history and saw you've seen most of them already. Other suggestions are Edge Of Heaven, Where Did Your Heart Go, Young Guns Go For It (from the Bad Boys phase so you should love it) and Last Christmas. By the way, depending on when Bad Boys was released, George was either 19 or 20.
I too, always get conflicted when i see George in in blue shorts and a pink sweater.
Love your videos!!! George has been and will always be my idol!! I have loved him since I was 13 and saw the Wake Me Up video. I am 50 now. He was a beautiful man in every way. Of course he was an amazing singer. Producer. Arranger. But he was also just an amazing human. Gave so much to charity. I wish he was still here .
Thank you!
Two more wham songs you will love. One of them you may have heard every Christmas and didn't even know it.
I liiiiive for the video/song for EVERYTHING SHE WANTS. And the other one is LAST CHRISTMAS. That song has been redone so many horrible times. But nothing beats out the original.
So glad you are enjoying Wham!
They had so little time together, but still made a pop culture impact.
I'd say that it was around the time when CARELESS WHISPERS came out, that the media started raising the question of what does Andrew really add to the duo, when George can do it without him." That's when things shifted.
Next thing we knew, they published a statement that the duo was breaking up, but on good terms...and that George was going solo.
Andrew has admitted, so long ago, that his heart wasn't in it anymore. He sort of dropped off for the quiet life.
NEW EDIT: I found your reaction to EVERYTHING SHE WANTS. I can't believe I didn't catch that one. And it's my favorite song @ no. 1 on my top 3 Wham! songs.
And as I commented in that video reaction, that I just found.
You looked so Technicolor. Just beautiful. 🤗
Thank you for watching! 😊
I strongly recommend you watch/react to wham club Tropicana
😉
czcams.com/video/lMH_AdLaxPI/video.html 😊
hi, i was hoping you'd do a Wham" session. The first demo tape Geroge pitched to a record company consisted of "wham"-rap and fragments of "Careless Whisper" and "Club Tropicana". Two weeks later came the rejection.
Thank you for watching!
Great Reaction, Bryson! Next bunch are 'Club Tropicana' Everything She Wants and Freedom
I’ve already reacted to all 3 of those! You can find them in my George Michael playlist. 😊❤️
I am from Arabia and big fan of George Michael since he was in Wham! Very talented writer and composer…you missed great songs such as Different Corner, Careless Whisper, Edge of Heaven, where dis your heart go?, and Club Tropicana
About those short-shorts in Wake Me Up, growing up and even through college those were just referred to as shorts. (Older men wore Bermuda shorts which were more modest, only 2-3 inches above the knee!). Then in the 90's fashion suddenly dictated a drastic change in men's shorts to long and baggy, which at first looked totally ridiculous and laughable. But within a few years the shorter shorts disappeared from the stores. Glad the fashion is finally going back in reverse!
Me too! Thank you for the info!
Andrew put a note on his bedroom door asking his parents to wake him up before they go go that's where George got the inspiration for wake me up before you go go in the last video they were 19 he was a genius from the start and so gorgeous and you of course 😊♥️
'I'm your man' Oh god, if only, but it wouldn't have lasted an English summer, PMD! He'd be walking the woods at night, in ultra posh Hampstead, N. London let's face it! Looking for 'snow' or....
The song Bad Boys was a commissioned work and ordered by the record company. George did not like the song. He also didn't like the image of the band in the early days. Later in his solo career he mostly played only Everything She Wants at concerts. Sometimes also Freedom, I'm Your Man or The Edge Of Heaven.
There are other songs by Wham! that are worth listening to. For example Where Did Your Heart Go?, A Different Corner his second solo single and of course Last Christmas!
In case you didn't know the chronological order of the music videos are June 16th 1982 Wham Rap!, May 2nd 1983 Bad Boys, May 14th 1984 Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and November 11th 1985 I'm Your Man. There are more music videos from them. I'll try to mention them in the comment section.
Young man, you warm my GenX heart. 🥰
Thank you so much for watching! 😊❤️
Wham rap was their first single, they were 18/19
Such fun! Thank you for lifting my spirits with these fantastic videos from when I was in my 20's.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching. 😊
George Michael a unique voice at the least
Love, Love, Love it!!!........ Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
George and Andrew were just 19 when Wham Rap was released; George was 18 when he wrote it. Only a teenager could have advocated choosing to sign on the dole as a way of life! FYI, the dole is a term for unemployment benefit and the DHSS was the government department for health and social security. I was a teenager then and didn't take the song seriously, in fact I thought that it was poking fun at that mindset.
He just loves to dance!!!
Young Guns (Go For It) should be your next Wham video.
I loved wham … still do. But this looked like the late 80’s or early 90’s locking back on the 50’s and trying to straighten them out. I don’t remember this one but George M.did most of the writing and I’ll listen to anything he did. It was always the words first for me. And I taught my daughter that with her choosing music. George wasn’t always sex symbol. He was spiritual and it came out in the music. He had his charities and went to hospital to engage with the sick patient. His and Princes labels messed with them and stole their written music. Love George.
Yup. Wake me up before you go go and jitterbug. That was my Wham song I suppose you could say. I tried. I really did try to jitterbug. I was 10. I sucked at it. But that was a must to that song!
Wham the final (at wembley stadium) was filmed but never released. You can find bad quality footage on youtube of that too. But Wham in China is fun and interesting for an hour. x
Can't believe that I never saw the video to Bad Boys. Maybe because they performed it on TV shows and there wasn't a video clip show here until 1983..
Oh I WAS purposely staring at his chest. Staring, zooming in, screencapping...
😂😂😂
For a visual treat, Club Tropicana.

I am here for the studded black leather and the hot pants too!
love the 80s music and clothes everything
Shirley (the blonde one ) is married to Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet who were another great 80s new romantic group they had some amazing songs True To cut a long story short u would love them 😊😊😊
George Michael...the hottest tambourine shaker to walk this earth :))
WHAM so awesome, what a time that was, still great.
❤R.I.P. beautiful George.
You have such an infectious smile I love your little comments all whams songs get you moving go go was Motown sounding I loved it as well as George of course
Thank you!
D.H.S.S. stands for Department Of Health And Social Security. They where in their late teens to early 20's.
I never saw or heard boys ever! You taught me something!
Till this day, I'm angry with my dad for not allowing me and my sister go to the filming of WMUBYGG video, (we were 12 and 14 years old)...😤🙄🤣 I Remember it being announced on the local radio that they wanted fans to come down and to bring 2 outfits... 1 white and the other dayglow/florescent... We were ready, all good to go, but dad had other plans... Scarred for life🤣
Oh no!! 😂
When Lennox was on tour in the mid 80s with here quite severe looking cropped hair, she was held at passport control in one country because they didn’t believe she was a woman and thought her passport was wrong. Women just didn’t wear suits back then. It was a radical thing to do. The only person to eclipse Lennox in breaking that barrier was Grace Jones. A black woman with a flat top hair cut and heavy shouldered trouser suit was just too much for some small minds back then. One of Lennox’s best live moments was when she dressed as Elvis but went full drag king with it. Our poor cousins in the US must have thought something was in the water in the 80s with us sending Boy George, Elton John and Annie Lennox to them.
Favorite has always been ‘I’m Your Man’.
