Wham – “Careless Whisper” (instrumental) (Columbia) 1984

Written by George Michael and Andrew Ridgely. Arranged and produced by George Michael. The instrumental b-side of the follow-up to “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” and 2nd #1 in the UK, the US, Australia, and the Netherlands for Wham. Also a track on their “Make It Big” album, which went to #1 on the album charts in the same countries. A phenomenally successful period for George Michael, who was barely 21 at the time. Sadly we lost him on Christmas Day, 2016. RIP George and thanks for the music.
