toni_wyatt 's review for:
Wham! George & Me
by Andrew Ridgeley
Anyone who truly knows me, knows how I feel about George and Wham! I still listen to their/his music quite often. Although this book doesn’t go into any of the trouble George got into after Wham! ended, it does give a glimpse into those early formative years for both Andrew and George.
And while they were both far from perfect and did things that raise questions of character, I don’t think anyone could tell me something that would cause me to feel any differently than I always have.
To me, it was miraculous that a shy boy, who was self-conscious about his looks and had low self-esteem could turn into one of the most powerful singer/songwriters of my generation. His voice is otherworldly, and it transports the listener to a place where you can lose yourself.
2016 was a particularly hard year for me. I lost my life long best friend and my father, so when I heard George had died on Christmas Day, I was numb. When I hear his music, I think of my best friend giving me Faith, his first solo album, for my birthday. And us singing together at the top of our lungs in her car. Those were great times. Thanks, George.
