I've never paid the attention this song really deserves up until 2 day! Brilliant

"They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears"

His vocal performance is particularly brilliant here, and the song is very good. However the album, Vibrator, had in my opinion some flaws, which was something new, as the three previous ones had been top from beginning to end.

I'm curious about his albums now...I'll be checking them out. And yes, his vocal performance here is brilliant!

Possibly my favourite by him. The live version is sublime:

Well as some people on the org know, i have been in a huge TTD phase. His 4 albums before turning into Sananda are absolute brilliance upon brilliance.

I have started getting into his Sananda stuff as well, this song is excellent!

Glad to see this man getting love on the org

For me Vibrator is the one TTD album on which I completely love every single song . I love his other albums too, but Vibrator for me is his best work from start to finish.

Holding On To You is my favourite song ever by any artist: it's just pefect IMO.

Vibrator is my favourite album of his, Holding on to you especially is a masterpiece!!

Can't understand the lack of love he gets from the public, he's a genius!

Yeah, one of my favourite performances of his.

I just found this video of George Michael covering "Let Her Down Easy" in Prague.

The reason why I posted this video here, is because, at the beginning of the performance, he talks about how Sony ruined TTD's career by failing to promote him and keeping him signed.

Also he encourages the audience to go out and buy the "Vibrator" album. Pretty cool of him.

I really must say, though, about as much as I love George Michael, nobody can sing "Let Her Down Easy" like TTD.

Defo one of my Top 5 TTD songs.

George Michael has a really good taste when choosing soul covers. His version of Stevie Wonder's They Won't Go When I Go in Listen Without Prejudice is amazing. I heard it before Stevie's own version. Now, while I prefer Stevie's, I think George's isn't very far.

Yes, I also heard George's version of "They Wont Go When I Go" before I heard Stevie's.

Ditto for "I Believe When I Fall In Love" and "Love's in need of love today."

Same goes for songs like "Sexual Healing" and "If I Were Your Woman."

good to know George appreciated TTD.

Holding on To You is just aiight to me. It feels forced. I'd say its kinda overrated among TTD fans.

I guess I'll have to go get Neither Fish Nor Flesh after all these years and see what i've missed

I am a fan, but honestly I never quite got the overwhelming love for this song. In fact, Vibrator is not my favorite album of his in general.

In my opinion, you've missed one of the bestest albums of all time and one exciting experience indeed. So come one, get it!

YES YES YES! This was the last song he did on The Vibrator Tour here in NYC. Simply Beautiful!

ok, this might sound a porn statement but I'm in love with "Vibrator" right now. How did I ever miss that album??

It's a great album. As I said before, it's not my favourite of his, but it has impressive songs such as Read My Lips, Undeniably and C.Y.F.M.L.A.Y., to name only three.

I decided 2 start from Vibrator and then go backwards. If the other albums are even better than wow!!! Thanx 4 the tips!

Well, each TTD fan will tell you something different. I've known here in the org people who choose Vibrator as their favourite (Serious, are you there? ), others say his first album was his best, while I choose the second, surely his least commercial effort, but his most exciting also, in my opinion.

Anyway, you're sure to enjoy his music. He is an extremely talented musician.

Yeah, I don't know why, it's a good album, it just never grabbed me.

Holding On to You always struck me as a Morning Papers ripoff
