George Michael Biography
Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (George Michael) achieved fame in
the duo Wham! in his native U.K. in 1982. Through 1986, he and his
partner, Andrew Ridgeley, scored hit after hit in a variety of styles
from rap to up-tempo pop to slow ballads. As songwriter and lead
singer, Michael gradually overshadowed the group, and by the time they
split, he was ready for a massively successful solo career. This began
with the 1987 album Faith, which featured a series of chart-topping hit
singles and sold more than seven million copies. That Michael had not
achieved a similar critical success was evident from the title of his
follow-up album, Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1, which must be
considered a major commercial disappointment even though it sold a
million copies, included two Top Ten hits, and hit number two. With
Vol. 2 apparently shelved, Michael contributed several songs to the
charity album Red Hot + Dance in 1992, and one of them, Too Funky,
reached the Top 20.
After the failure of Listen Without Prejudice, Michael engaged in a
bitter legal battle with his record company, accusing them of not
properly promoting the album and asking them to release him from his
contract; he stated that he would refuse to release any records if he
lost the lawsuit. He lost. After losing an appeal, Michael bought his
way out of his Columbia contract and signed with the music division of
Dreamworks, a fledgling entertainment corporation founded by Steven
Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen. In 1996, he released
Older, its sales clearly hampered by his long hiatus away from
performing. In 1998, Michael made tabloid headlines when he was
arrested for lewd conduct in a men's public restroom at a park near his
Beverly Hills home; following the incident, the singer appeared on CNN
and publicly revealed his homosexuality. The covers collection Songs
From the Last Century followed in late 1999. ~ William Ruhlmann, All
