Album Notes
Personnel includes: George Michael, Elton John, Astrud Gilberto, Aretha Franklin, Queen.
Producers: George Michael, Jon Douglas, Narada Michael Walden, Queen.
Though he made his initial mark on music history as half of the unctuous British duo Wham, George Michael wasted little time in proving himself more than just a pretty pop face. This comprehensive two-disc compilation documents the career of a man who was able to successfully meld pop, R&B and serious, introspective balladry without ever losing sight of the all-important groove and hook.
Thankfully, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN doesn't skimp on tracks from Michael's classic solo debut, and tracks like Bo Diddley beat-driven "Faith" and the lusty, Prince-like "I Want Your Sex" sound as fresh as ever. Later cuts show Michael's maturation as both a vocalist and songwriter, and collaborations with Elton John and bossa nova legend Astrud Gilberto serve to emphasize the wide stylistic range Michael is capable of traversing.
Industry Reviews
Soulful balladeer? Dance diva? Michael splits the difference with one disc for each, plus two new tracks...
