Amy Grant "1974 (We Were Young)"

One listen to the popular new song "joy." from the band For King & Country may make you question if the song is a Christian Pop song (spoiler alert: it is). In the case of Amy Grant's "1974 (We Were Young)", the song pre-dates Amy's Adult Contemporary days and comes from her Contemporary Christian days. The song discusses Amy's discovery of her faith and how it changed her. Chances are Seinfeld's Elaine Benes' on-again off-again boyfriend Puddy was a fan of the song.

George Michael "Kissing A Fool"

According to George Michael, he only needed one take to record the vocals to "Kissing A Fool". The song was the fifth single from Michael's uber-successful Faith album. Released in 1987, Faith was  Michael's solo debut and was the first album from a Caucasian to top the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.

George Michael - "One More Try"

The death march known as 2016 continued its relentless attack on musicians by taking George Michael.   Michael died over the Christmas holiday.  He was 53.  During music class in fourth grade was when I first was introduced to Michael after overhearing a couple girls in my class talking about how hot he was.  I mistakenly thought these girls were speaking of George Michael --the host of "George Michel's Sports Machine".  The next time I remember learning about George Michael (the singer) was on Saturday Night Live when Dana Carvey parodied him during an episode of weekend update where he kept telling host Dennis Miller to "look at my butt!".  Michael got his start as a member of the British duo Wham! and later launched an era of dominance as a solo artist.  The ballad, "One More Try", hit #1 in 1988--the song was one of six singles released from Michael's debut solo album, Faith.  In fact, five of the album's six singles became hits while the album itself sold over 25 million copies.  Rest easy, George.
