Careless Whisper is the Best Song EVER! Don't Debate This!
Being an 80's baby means that you are at the stage in your life where you may think all of the music of today sucks and you long for the early days of hip-hop, some good old pop music, and all things neon. The nostalgia can also result in heated debates with your friends about what song from your youth was the best and why. Well, look no further; because if you are in need of THE SONG to raise as the pinnacle during your next debate, dinner party, or bar crawl - THIS IS IT!
"Careless Whisper" was released in 1984 by Wham! and is considered by many to be the first solo release by George Michael. By the way have you seen him lately?!? Aging VERY nicely!
The saxophone riff alone is enough of a reason to name it the best! It's classic 80's in all of its glory. The lovelorn crooning of George Michael with lyrics like, ". . . I'm never gonna dance again. Guilty feet have got no rhythm." Come on!! We've all been there or we know someone who has been there. This song is the epitome of blue eyed soul, pre Justin Timberlake and post Gino Vannelli! If you haven't already, get into it!
