This is a beautiful rendition of the original. He sang this live on Pavarotti and Friends concert in Italy. Wow, just wow to hear him live singing, was stunning. If you get a chance look that performance up because it will blow you away.

Frank Sinatra called George was one of the top 3 singers of the 20th century after seeing him live at madison square gardens in the 90s, High praise indeed.

That entire album is FANTASTIC. IF ANYONE CAN MAKE A COVER HIS OWN ITS GEORGE MICHAEL. And I agree with the other comment that sometimes the original is not GOOD. LOL

With your emotional depth, I would love to see your reaction to 'Praying for Time' By George Michael. I feel it's message is as timely today as when he wrote it.

What an interesting choice! This a prime example of a "standard". It was indeed written in 1932 by Jay Gorney and Yip Harburg (the latter also being the lyricist for Over the Rainbow) for a musical revue called Americana. It is regarded as the "anthem" of the Great Depression, capturing the plight of a down and out unemployed American who earlier fought for his country. There are several versions of it, most notably by Bing Crosby (that's the one to listen to!). I hope this encourages you to seek other songs from that era.

I'm so jealous of you. It's taken me until I was in my 50s to appreciate George. I wish I'd broadened my musical vision many years ago

This song is from the Great Depression era and expresses the plight of many people in dire poverty.

As Ritchie C said below...This whole album is fantastic....and is an album of tracks that he remembers being played in his home from his childhood (as i understand it).....each track has been 'George'd', and has his unique inflection put on it....Secret Love the Doris Day song is just wonderful....dive in to the whole album, you won't regret it - even if it is an album of covers !!

A great original recording, which has been covered many times, is WITHOUT LOVE (I HAVE NOTHING) (1957) by Clyde McPhatter. McPhatter had an unique voice. He started the singing group THE DRIFTERS and then had a successful solo career, His career suffered because of the British Invasion, and he had a tragic end and died at the age of 39. Was the first person inducted twice into THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. Sadly, he is seldom mentioned today.

If you don't listen to Roxanne and secret love from the same album then your really missing out ,I'm not one for covers myself, but when it comes to George Michael you should always make an exception.

I prefer the original 1932 Bing Crosby iteration. But, this song abut the depression is quite well written and difficult to mess up. Thumbs up!

I agree with you; I love to hear the Original even though the originals sometimes are trash... Take "House is not a Home" by Luther Vandross, it was sang and recorded by Burt Bacharach, Recorded by Dione Warwick and I have even seen on KZitem that Barbra Streisand but neither of those became a Hit... There are so many examples of this, I love watching reactions just because I get to hear various songs and versions that I would have never heard.... Love the Vlog

Okay, long time ago, I gave you 'Shake You Down' by Gregory Abbott to react to. So far, you've ignored my suggestion. Now here's another one, 'Stay Gone' by Jimmy Wayne. When you FINALLY stop ignoring my suggestions and react to those two, you're gonna thank me. Oh, and I still think you're adorable.

I am a little surprised that George Michael did an album like this. Like I said, you see beauty in many things. Just not my style really. You are always beautiful though.

I like George Michael, but his voice and style are completely wrong for this song. None of the pain and anguish of the common man during the depression who lived this

You guys apparently can't appreciate a true artist. Madonna Prince and Michael Jackson always did the same type of music, But not George Michael he was Definitely pushing it EVERY SINGLE TIME!

Agree Ritchie - when he sang this live at Pavarotti and Friends it was mind blowing.
