well, it's no news but thanks for reminding people for it. I have the song as an MP3... but George is one of those who checks out how many people download his songs and stuff.
so PLEASE, go any download it!! If this is an success he might do it more often in the future!

I already had it

I love George Michael's music ever since he started out.

I am checking out his website and love the songs he has playing there. I have to purchase some of these songs.


So far I love these 3:
This is not real love
Shoot the Dog
Understand

Love the Stevie Wonder cover of "As" with Mary J.

So far I like what I'm listening to.

I was disapointed with Easier Affair and Understand but like This Is Not Real Love.
As is great!!!

I can't find it on iTunes.

You have to download it from his website (www.georgemichael.com).

I wish they would've included some artwork. Anyone have a nice fan-created image?

Thanks!

U need 2 pick up the 3cd edition of 25 (TwentyFive). It is really good. Much better than the "Ladies and Gentleman" collection.

daPrettyman said:

I'm not so sure. Since most people should be getting the albums anyway, there's something to be said for Ladies and Gentlemen including the Jam & Lewis single remix of "Monkey" and the "Burn Rubber"-sampling single remix of "Star People '97." Those two are essential IMO.

Alex, my version doesn't have Monkey. I think yours is without As instead, right?

honestly, i think one should rather buy George's studio albums than the best of. You're missing so much.
On Faith i adore Hard Day and Hand To Mouth, you don't get them on any best of.

LWP has so many great songs. Something To Save, Soul Free... that aren't on his best of. I mean, the second one doesn't even include Cowboys & Angels???

daPrettyman said:

Thanks will look into that.

I listened to the song only recently and I like it.

I like the chord progression very much.

Not fond of the lyrics, but I do love the line:

There was always Christmas time
to wipe the year away.
I guess that mom and dad decided
that the war would have to wait.

Not a big fan of the intro and outtro choir either.

Yes, I was talking about the North American version.


"Hard Day" is indeed on the American version. That makes sense, because it was so popular it just missed the top 20 on the R&B chart.


The albums are definitely required, but it would be nice if there were one package that contained all of the necessary non-album tracks (remixed single versions like "Monkey" and "Star People '97," b-sides like "Fantasy," and singles like "As" and "Too Funky").

Downloaded it today.

Nice site. I had not checked it out before.
