Description

Product Description International pressing of his 1998 collection features a bonus track, 'As' (with Mary J. Blige) and drops 'Monkey' and 'Hard Day' from the U.S. version, replacing them with 'Strangest Thing '97' and 'Fantasy'. 29 tracks from his enormously successful solo career including 'Faith', 'Father Figure', 'A Different Corner', 'Heal the Pain', 'Jesus to a Child', 'Freedom '90', 'I Want Your Sex', 'Outside' and more. This compilation does NOT feature any material from Wham, although 'Careless Whisper', which was originally released as his first solo single, is included. Sony. .co.uk Since the break-up of teen duo Wham! in 1986, George Michael has constantly had to reinvent himself as a credible master of various musical styles. Ladies And Gentlemen charts this journey, from his duets with pop elite such as Aretha Franklin ("I Knew You Waiting (For Me)") and Elton John ("Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"), to dance floor classics such as "Too Funky" and "Fastlove" and bleak, evocative numbers such as "Jesus To A Child" and "A Different Corner". The songs are arranged on two complementing discs: the slower, ballady productions are on the first disc ("for the heart"), and the more dancey, poppy numbers are on the second ("for the feet"). The compilation also includes three tracks specially recorded for the album, most notably his duet with Mary J Blige on the Stevie Wonder classic "As". --John Galilee
