A radio host refused to announce I Want Your Sex at the time.

 

I just read this yesterday in Guardian:

 

 

George Michael found success quickly in the US, briefly eclipsing even superstars such as Michael Jackson and Madonna at the tail end of the 1980s.

As a solo artist and with Wham!, the singer collected 10 No 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including Faith, Father Figure, One More Try and Careless Whisper, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and Everything She Wants.

Over on the albums charts, Wham! claimed a No 1 with its breakthrough album Make It Big, while Michael led the list as a soloist with Faith, spending 12 weeks in the top spot in 1988.

As the Rolling Stone writer Greg Pond noted that year: “He is only 24 – three years younger than Prince, five years younger than Michael Jackson, and outselling both of them. He is ridiculously famous; he has more money than he can spend. And for most of his brief career, he has had virtually no artistic credibility.”

 

 

 

Crazy. It was brief, but... it all went downhill after his battle with Sony.

I would really like it if the music industry wasn't basically owned by Sony. :saladga:

just a few more must have singles from George's career.  Several of these hit US radio...mainly dance charts. But he was also a hit overseas.  His third solo album was HUGE in the U.K.  

If you don't know his stuff, give it just one more try. 😉
