NEW George Michael single - You And I (Stevie Wonder cover)

Fantastic version!

George Covers Stevie Wonder for Will & Kate

To celebrate The Royal Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton on April 29, George has covered Stevie Wonder’s romantic classic, “You and I”.

For a limited time, you can download a free MP3 of this song. George would like to encourage everyone who downloads this special track to make a contribution to The Prince William & Miss Catherine Middleton Charitable Gift Fund. To learn more or to make a donation, please visit the official site.

I'm following him on Twitter, where he is pretty personal (the video of his dogs in his garden was cute). He talked a lot about the process of recording this song, so it's extra nice to hear it now.

beautiful song, but i think that of every of George's songs. cool

Sick of Will and Katie--get married already. This cover is fine but no one can sing "You And I" with as much loving passion as Wonder.

I kinda like O'Bryan's version better than Stevie's.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

nod Co-sign.

I also agree about GM doing a Stevie tribute album. We can already compile at least an EP of his covers.

Nice rendition- doesn't go for the runs that Stevie does, but who does? I like the production. I actually not too much of a fan of the studio version of Stevie's "You and I"- too much reverb on his vocals. Everytime he performs this live, he slays though.

George on Twitter is the best. He's using it perfectly. Witty, candid insights and the occasional promotion of new material. And I love when he drunk tweets Boy George.

Nice, another one to add to my collection of George Michael Stevie Wonder covers. Hopefully one day there will be enough of them to fill a CDR. I still love his version of They Won't Go the best tho.

Keep your headphones on.

That was "As" he covered with MJB. He has covered a few Stevie songs, but not this one.

The vocal effect is faithful to the original.

He sounds disinterested though.
