Remember this Tune? "Heaven Help Me"- Deon Estus ftrg. George Michael Deon Estus w/ George Michael - y'all remember this track from '88 or so....Estus was formerly the bassist in George Michael's band....
 My girlfriend and I had just broken up at the time this tune came out, so for me, it carried a lot more weight than it normally would have,

This is a great song, although at first I thought it was George singing the whole thing. What ever happened to Deon? I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

I still listen to this song. It was 10th grade for me, and I was living in the middle of nowhere in upstate New York. This song would get a lot of radio play. It shoulda been billed as George Michael f/Deon Estus. Not many people remember Deon as the performer. | |

Oh yes... definitely a jam. I remember I was pissed because the radio never mentioned Deon Estus. I was hounding the record stores for a new single from George Michael and nobody knew WTF I was talking about | |

I remember Deon Estus! That was a good song. It's true that everyone assumed it was just George Michael singing. Poor Deon, he got no love. Was he a Brit too? | |

He co-wrote it with Deon, and produced it... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

How come no one brings up "Shake" by Andrew Ridgely?
For the first ten seconds I thought it was going to be a jam. OK, a good song. I kept waiting for it to get better. Oh well. | |

I used to love this song. I remember Video Soul and Video Vibrations would play this song all the time and I would think, that sounds like George Michael in the song and of course it was. I didn't remember who sang it until I read the title of the thread but I always knew that the guy was in GM's band. I haven't heard it since then but it always stuck with me. It also reminds me of how George Michael really dominated 1988. He was and still is the bomb. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

I thought it was George singing it too. Deon sounds a lot like George, and his vocal style is very similar. Not sure what Deon is up to nowadays, need to do a little research on the internet.  RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
