I was never a huge George Michael fan, but I remember reading how one recording session everybody left except for one engineer, so George had him show how to use the equipment so George could make a song from start to finish by himself. That song ended up being "Everything She Wants", and he used the same approach for "Last Christmas". After that he didn't need to be in Wham, he was pretty much his own artist. I really respect that, it's the same kind of thing that Prince and Trent Reznor did.
I wasn't a big fan of WAM or George Michael generally, but I do have mad respect for the man. He wasn't just talented but also introspective, intelligent, genuine, and much deeper than his pop star sheen gave away.
