Careless Whisper - GEORGE MICHAEL

"Careless Whisper" is a melancholy song recorded by English singer-songwriter George Michael. Released as the second single from Wham!'s second studio album Make It Big (1984), it was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, with Michael producing the song. 

Although the song was released as part of Make It Big, the single release is credited to either Wham! featuring George Michael (in North America and several other countries) or solely to George Michael (in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and some nations in Europe).

A contemporary pop song with R&B and soul influences, it features a prominent saxophone riff composed by Michael and played by Steve Gregory. It became a commercial success, topping record charts in at least ten countries and selling about 6 million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United States.  The song later achieved popularity on social media, mainly due to the saxophone riff being used as a popular internet meme.

I Can't Make You Love Me - GEORGE MICHAEL

"I Can't Make You Love Me" was written by Nashville writers Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin, who were well-noted for their successes in the country music arena. The song was rewritten many times before being finalized, months later." We wrote, mostly every week, in Mike's basement," Shamblin told Peter Cooper in an interview with the Nashville Tennessean."

And we'd worked on this song for more than six months.  One day, he said, 'Come up to the living room,' where his piano was. He sat down and started playing this melody, and it was one of the most moving pieces of music I'd heard. I mean, it hit me in a hard way. Instantly, I knew it was the best thing I'd ever been a part of."

"Older" is a song by English singer-songwriter George Michael, released as the fourth single from his third album, Older (1996). It was also released as an EP under the name The Older EP. 

The single's other A-side is a cover of Bonnie Raitt's song "I Can't Make You Love Me". The single peaked at Number Three on the UK Singles Chart while becoming a top-ten hit in Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, and Spain.
