When I was 13, and just learning guitar, my guitar teachers and musical mentors ALL really respected George Michael. (I initially thought that was odd for a bunch of rock musicians.) Specifically, everyone cited Careless Whisper as one of the greatest songs ever written.

So, I grew up with the understanding that, like Prince, George Michael was also a superlative musician. What is most remarkable: George Michael was 23/24 years old when he wrote the iconic pop songs from, Faith.

My favorite song was, Father Figure.
