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 ๐ต

One More Try – live gospel version ๐ต
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.

All we have to see

One of the most moving and beautiful songs George Michael ever wrote in my opinion, and it’s based on his real-life experience. The song is about his uncle, Colin.
