Ladies and Gentlemen: Best Of

Product Information

to his later solo work, George Michael was one of the biggest-selling pop superstars of the 1980s, on par with Madonna and Michael Jackson. Ladies And Gentlemen charts this journey, from his duets with pop elite such as Aretha Franklin ("I Knew You Waiting (For Me)") and Elton John ("Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"), to dance floor classics such as "Too Funky" and "Fastlove" and bleak, evocative numbers such as "Jesus To A Child" and "A Different Corner". Genuine confusion as most artists have their greatest hits issued on vinyl nowadays and yet George's is only available for streaming and CD.
