A very talented musician passed today. Although not my usual genre, I always thought he was a great vocalist.  I love this version he did:

 

His early demise came as no surprise, but George Michaels was indeed a gifted singer.

My favorite recording by George was "One More Time" (Teacher) .

From what I've read, repeatedly hitting the high tremolo in this song cost Michaels temporary voice loss

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never a big fan, though I'm a fan of amazing voices.

And I consider him one of the many....

 

I loved his jazzy "Kissing a Fool"...

The curse of 2016, Bowie, Prince and now GM, all gone in the same year.

An eclectic group for sure.

I remember when my wife and I had our engagement pictures taken that WHAM was playing in the background. RIP George.

Had a chance to see him live a few years ago, I figured I'd catch his show the next time around.  I should have gone...

RIP George.

Listen without prejudice is one of my all time favorite albums. He had a great jazz voice.

Man, what a sad time.  First George, then my number one female actress "Prince Lea" Carrie Fisher, and now her mom.  

I'm a fan of 80's music so between him and Prince we have lost some great singers.
