Amazon.co.uk Review
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". --
