New series 1/3.
Mark Goodier presents an in-depth profile of pop professional George Michael, from his chart-attacking success as the voice of the relentlessly choreographed duo Wham! to the huge solo career for which he has tailored slickly-crafted tunes to his own theatrical, breath-heavy vocal style. This first part looks at the artist's early influences, the Wham! years and the 1984 ballad Careless Whisper - a defining career moment. Also, the artist candidly discusses his personal and creative endeavours.
