Over the next few months, my wife and I are releasing music we’ve been recording over the last fifteen years. I write and play; she sings. It’s retro Pop that spans all kinds of genres. Our first EP is out now. I’d love it if you’d give it a spin. – Stage19Music.com π΅

One More Try – live gospel version π΅
George Michael recorded some amazing covers of songs by the likes of Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and Queen, (just to name a few), and his renditions were frequently better. He also knew how to improve upon his own efforts; one of the most shining examples is this live performance of One More Try with a gospel choir. It’s nothing short of stunning.

Few songs take me back to the summers of my childhood as completely as this one. It’s a WHAM! Album track and B-side, and in my opinion, it’s one of the most underrated WHAM! Tracks.
