Find The George Michael Songs Trivia Quiz

Answer:

George Michael's 1987 solo debut album was titled "Faith". This biggest selling album of George's solo career was the Grammy winner for Album of the Year in 1989. There were four songs from the release that topped the U.S. Hot 100 Singles chart: "Faith", "Father Figure", "One More Try", and "Monkey". "Father Figure" was a R&B hit with a touch of Gospel and even some Egyptian sounds in the song mix. "One More Try" was the big ballad on the album and even topped the Hot Black Singles and the Hot Adult Contemporary charts. Most radio singles are near the three minute song length area but "One More Try" clocked in at just under six minutes. The album also featured "I Want Your Sex", a popular dance club hit from the solo album. Apart from "Faith" in 1987, George Michael released the duet single, "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" and it was released on Aretha Franklin's album, "Aretha". It also reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 1990, George Michael released "Listen Without Prejudice Part 1", (incidentally there was never a Part 2 released). The album featured six singles in total and the first three were "Praying For Time", "Waiting For The Day", and "Freedom! 90". "Praying For Time" was George Michael's last solo single to top the Billboard Hot 100. The pensive ballad had a soft political message and reflected on social issues of the day. "Waiting For The Day" was featured twice on the album. One version was the full length single and later came a shorter reprise called "Waiting". "Freedom! '90" received that title for two reasons. George Michael's group, Wham!, had earlier released a completely different song called "Freedom" and the new song was recorded in 1990.

In 1991, George Michael performed Elton John's classic, "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me", as a live duet. They had previously performed it together during the Live Aid concert. The 1991 duet was released as a single and later appeared on "Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael" album. "Too Funky" was a dance club smash that George released on the "Red Hot and Dance" compilation album and also "Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael". At the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert, George performed "Somebody To Love" with the other three members of Queen. The song was released as a charity single and included as the first song on George Michael's 1993 "Five Live" EP.

The incorrect answers included two songs by Terence Trent D'Arby, "Wishing Well" and "Sign Your Name". Rick Astley recorded "Never Gonna Give You Up". While George did release "Faith", "Faithfully" was a Journey ballad. "Holding Back The Years" was a big hit for Simply Red. "Lessons In Love" was a single for Level 42.
