Another Thought on George Michael
When my last post went to Facebook, a good friend brought up something I had totally forgotten about. I realise now that I should have picked a better song for George Michael. Thing was that I don’t recall seeing his performance of the Queen classic, “Somebody to Love” at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert in 1992. On advice, I watched it on Youtube and I have to give George full marks here. His performance of that song was superb. It might have had something to do with the fact that the other members of Queen were playing with him. Brian May still does that guitar solo. So, I would have to put that song on the album.

I would also add Jefferson Starship’s “Girl with the Hungry Eyes, ” David Bowie- “Suffragette City” and possibly “Blue Jean” as well.

Funny, I was just writing about the Queen tribute concert. George was rumoured to be the new singer of Queen after that, he did such an amazing job.
Look for my story coming this month called “Been a Long Time Since I Been to Frankenmuth”.

I will look out for that article. I think George might have made a good lead singer for Queen. I would have liked him more if he took the job.

He’s on the front cover of the Queen “Five Live” EP, sadly that’s as close as we’ll ever get.

Fraid so, maybe he and Freddie are dueting together in a better place.

Hopefully so. Hard to believe how many from that concert today are dead or sick with cancer.
