[Chris51]

Aretha, what a legend. George Michael? Meh.

[Marker773]

This is a great song, made all the more wonderful by an unlikely but very successful collaboration. Somehow they are perfect together. I love listening to this almost 25 years later. Thank you Aretha and George!

[andcar121]

[planetevenus]

La diva de la Soul j'ai nommée Aretha Franklin et le Grand Georges Michael. Quel duo des années 80. Titre inoubliable. C'est super quand les genres se mélangent les voix comme la musique. Ici c'est réussi c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire. Si ces deux la n'avaient pas chantés ensemble cela aurait été regrettable. Cette chanson est comment dire Superbe c'est surement du a ses deux interprètes . Merci pour le partage ENCORE MERCI.

[Gotenks70]

I wanna sing this to a nice girl ! =D

[francisbeancobain]

takes me back aahhhhh

[mercuryforeva]

Along with Freddie Mercury, three of my best artists ever! Freddie loved Aretha and was a massive influence on him and always wanted to perform with her. He said in tongue and cheek 'I could of done it better' hahaha He also really liked George with 'Careless Whisper' being one of his fave tracks of the 80's :)

[byvike]

[spacefortajfans]

looove this song :=)!!!!!!!!!!!

[geography27]

This is what you call an excellent pop song.

Meaningful, deep lyrics, with confident go-getting music. Positive, great feelings. Now look what we have in today's ''music'' - a dire shallow mess. Are the record companies listening?! The majority of people want music like this again.

[sweetchocable]

i lov this song i could here thz song all day long mate

[MegaPrincessfifi]

aaaaaahh fantastic tune love it love it love it !!!!!!!

[PeteGeeza86]

What a great tune,MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE....this reminds me of a very special girl....i know she is the one,but it's too hard for us to be together at the moment.

So very fond of her....

[cmonari2]

Love this song... Aretha is definately the queen of soul... and George is awesome as well!! :DDD

Pity we don't have artists like these anymore... I wonder what will happen in 10 years...

[PeteGeeza86]

This song is amazing....the lyrics....the singing....everything...just fantastic :-D

[overner2001]

When Aretha "shrieks" (at 2.29) and cries "Oh yeah" at 3.40 she just sends shivers down my spine: she times it perfectly and pitches it at the precise key: wonderful!

[MrBuckley123]

so what if he is gay it is life lets all be happy in life love this tune

[irishveganboy]

I just love this video - pitty aretha is adidcted to wearing real fur through.....only shame.

[rightfredsdead]

In America, the outstanding success of 'Faith' was marked by six No.1 singles: I Want Your Sex', 'Faith', 'Father Figure', 'One More Try', 'Monkey' and 'Kissing A Fool'.

and before he release three other singles not included in the debut album, Careless Whisper, A different corner and this duet.

[Sezzera]

Everything about the video is perrrrfect.

George + Aretha's vocals together = Creates a perfect song!

0:54 - LOL! Old George feeling his way into the song....I LOVE THE 80S!

[jackyboy777666]

This may just be the best song to listen to first thing in the morning....

[VioletSpanxx]

One touch and you set me free! One of my favourite songs of all time. I wasn't even a twinkle in my dad's eye when this came out, but it's timeless

[ASTMA193]

Great song. The lyrics are so cool!!!!

[CWF66]

love this song

[Gabriellephantx3]

even though i'm 15 i looooove this tune, i'll risk being called gay to say this song is one of my favorites! and George is rather sexy.

[AlexBuono1974]

Don't watch that, I was about when this came out & was into hip hop but did'nt give a f**k, would still play this.....one of the most uplifting songs ever.

[lydiaduric1974]

love this song so much xxxxxxx

[bellz1997]

I LOVEEE this song :) x

must say i prefer it to any N-Dubz, Beyonce or Lady Gaga. xxx

[IISniPPEeZzx]

i think GM is the biggest hit of the 80's along with MJ

[NLglennNL]

@IISniPPEeZzx bigger than MJ

[RachelClareable]

I absolutely love this song but why in the 80s did people always do that dancing George does at 1.12 and 1.44 and 1.53 where they turn there backs and point to their jackets with their thumbs?! If you wanna see him pointing at his jacket with his tumbs from the front watch 1.33! It's hilarious! Just noticed another one at 2.07!

[jackyboy777666]

@RachelClareable 2:07 = The whole world should dance like that.....'GM Lege!'

[1pingfasily]

This is a fantastic song,!!

[foodoo80]

[guushierck1]

@linkin4life homo

[linkin4life]

@guushierck1 its ok if you are no ones judging you for loving men but if you do insist on annoucing yourselfs as gay you may want to do it with a bit more tact that typing it on you tube

[BabyG18]

top 3 of my fav collabs of all time

such a powerful song

[Dedokai32]

''I don't regret a single moment, lookin back'' ''When i think of all those dissappointments i just laugh'' those words are the story of me, words be true .

[BabyG18]

so beautiful. this song reminds me of my childhood, my teenage years (now) it has sucha powerful message. This song is like my anthem

[Sissiaraujo]

Let's dance...

[iyrdy]

A thing i noticed on listening to it again, the massive contribution of the musicians and the techs involved, they all 'stepped back' and let aretha and george belt it out. Players.

The infection in pop music now has been the producer, the product, no trust. Can you imagine this created with someone like timberland or simon callow involved? ; compressed.

[Abbot63]

No doubt about it. one of the greatest duets all time, a perfect combination !!!!!!!

The song was # 1 in 1987 in USA and U.K, as well in Australia and Holland.

Thank you Sony-Arista for posting in H.Q !!!

[iyrdy]

close your eyes an listen by the 2nd chorus you'll feel the tears swell . Music

[irishveganboy]

Aretha Franklin is a great singer but it's such a shame she wear real full lenght fur coats when most of hollywood have turned their backs on the skins of dead animals.
