I always liked this version. Babyface, did a great job producing it.

I think the correct term was "Munipulating his genitals". Now of all the things to munipulate....

It freaks me out when so many people say: George Michael had sex with another in the restroom blablabla.
He just had a wank, that's all. He thought the policeman was a gay crusier too and GM showed him his penis, in the hope the policeman could start wanking with him as well....

anyway, the album was released at the end of 1998, the single in 1999 and it's track two on the Ladies & Gentleman CD 2.

It's an old cover. I remember it was very popular when I first moved toMilan in '97 or so...the video used to come on Italian MTV every 5 minutes smile

Here is a bit of trivia. Even though, Stevie had written this song, Sister Sledge had recorded their version of it first. It did not do to well on the charts, however. Come to think of it, I don't think Stevie's version was ever released, officially.

Mr. Wonder has said, of all the songs he's written, "As" is his favorite.

Lovely remake by Mr. Michael & Ms, Blige. music

I'm guessing she meant as a single (no pun intended).

It's a good cover. GM has made a habit of making good overs of Stevie's songs.

Actually,Stevie's version of "As" was released as a single.It was the third single,after "Sir Duke" and "I Wish".The final single was "Another Star".
