So, I was listening to "Miss Mary" by Slim Thug and it's got a vocal sample in it that goes:

Can't keep holdin' it in

or something like that.

The credits say the sample is "A Moment With You" by George Michael.

I tried to put in some research but all I could turn up was the Best Of George Michael album from 1998.

Was this a new track made for that Best Of?

Not a track I have heard of. and I am pretty good with all his music...unless it was a B-Side or something

A Moment With You and Outside were the new tracks on the Greatest Hits in 1998.

I don't have this 2-CD collection. I was curious when it was recorded.

Hey!! Thank you, Axchi696!

I tottally stand corrected. I have this here with me at work. I feel stupid now. Yeah it's on there...and yes it was made for the best of. To be honest, it doesn't stick out in my mind at all, and I am sure I've heard it a billion times, as I have listened to the GH about that many.

I LOVE "A Moment With You". George's vocals are gorgeous as usual, but the vocal arrangement and melody are what stand out to me. Very, very nice. Bump it in the car when you're on the highway. Beautiful.

I haven't heard "Miss Mary" by Slim Thug, but that "Can't keep holdin' it in " sounds like it would a good snippet for a sample.

Check the whole song, Cee. You won't be disappointed.

The compilation still looks rather definitive.

CinisterCee said:

I have it, and I enjoy it.
In fact, I bought it after hearing "A Moment With You" in a friend's car several years ago. Up until then, I'd never heard "Cowboys And Angels" or "Praying For Time".

I LOVE THIS TRACK!!!

One of his best moments.

nah,
the best moment was when he got down and tried to seduce the cop in the toilets,

that was a real "moment", lol

This collection is key! Everyone should own this!

dirtyman2005 said:

a friend who is totally about George told me this song was dedicated to the cop who arrested him.

Axchi696 said:

Along with "As".

madartista said:

That's what he said at the time. It's a love song for the cop

SquirrelMeat said:

...but not in America. We didn't get that track.

JediMaster said:

Nope.

OdysseyMiles said:

You arent missing too much

Sdldawn said:

Truth.

JediMaster said:

Any idea why they axed it? It would seem even more relevant in the US with Mary J on it.

We get it lucky in the UK. George is about to release tour dates.

Sdldawn said:

I ordered the import, so I have it. Personally, I think it's a fantastic cover.

SquirrelMeat said:

I think it had something to do with MJB's record label not wanting her to get involved in the controversy that was surrounding George's career at the time.

SquirrelMeat said:

Mary's record label in the US wouldn't give clearance. They were mum on the matter, but it's pretty obvious that it was because of his arrest and coming out. Just another example of homophobia. If they had half a brain, they'd realize that 75% of Mary's fan base is gay men.
