UK reissue of this 1993 album from the British pop singer/songwriter. It consists mainly of old jazz standards, plus new interpretations of more recent popular songs, such as "Roxanne" (originally by The Police) and "Miss Sarajevo" (originally by U2 with Luciano Pavarotti).
I ordered this cd only having heard "Where or When" and "First time ever I saw your face" on you tube.
They are definite highlights and I think his version of the Rodgers-Hart classic is the best I've ever heard.
But there are more. "You've Changed" usually identified with Billie Holliday or Diana Ross Lady sings the blues
is also excellent. Another more upbeat tune "My baby just cares for me" which I knew by Nina Simone and Mary
Wells is expertly handled as a jazzy upbeat number. Last one I will single out is "I Remember You" which I
learned as an oldie country-flavored hit by Frank Ifield and was revived on the Art Garfunkel Some Enchanted
Evening CD from a few years back (this George Michael one reminds me of the Art album in mood) This track
features a gentle string accompaniment.
My overall rating is Excellent plus. George had a great voice which was not truly appreciated due to some of the
early Wham bubble-gum stuff, although his A Different Corner, One More Try and Last Christmas showed him
to be a VERY capable singer and stylist. You will treasure this disc as a late-at-night soother. Buy it!
