George Michael
«George Michael was the biggest British pop star of the 1980s, spinning a series of infectiously catchy pop singles into global stardom that saw him sell over 100 million albums worldwide. Blessed with good looks, a fine voice, and a knack for writing engaging melodies that worked well with dance-friendly rhythms, Michael became the rare teen sensation who matured into a respected star as an adult, though his life after achieving pop icon status was not without personal and creative challenges.»
AllMusic
George Michael – Careless whisper
Comenzamos el 2017 casi como terminamos el año anterior, recordando a una estrella del pop recientemente fallecida. Annus horribilis el 2016. Resulta obligado dedicar unas líneas a George Michael, que nos dejó con solo 53 años el pasado día de Navidad, cuando en medio mundo seguramente sonaba su emblemática Last Christmas. Perdíamos a un compositor exitoso y un notable cantante, un artista multiventas que durante las décadas de los 80 y 90 llegó a situarse a la altura de superestrellas como Michael Jackson, Madonna o Prince.
