Biography

George Michael achieved fame in the duo Wham! in his native U.K. during the mid-'80s. As songwriter and lead singer, he gradually overshadowed the group, and by the time they split, he was ready for a massively successful solo career, beginning with the 1987 album Faith, which featured a series of chart-topping hits and sold more than seven million copies. That Michael had not achieved a similar critical success was evident from the title of his follow-up, Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1, which must be considered a major commercial disappointment even though it sold a million copies and included two Top Ten hits. ~ William Ruhlmann
