In fact, the name George Michael is nothing but a stage name, because in reality, the artist had the name Georgios Kyriakos Panayiotou.
Father George, Kyriakos Panayiotou, was the Cypriot, who in 50-ies he emigrated to Britain and married an English girl – Leslie Angold Harrison. The father was managing a small restaurant with Greek cuisine, and her mother was a dancer.
Except for George’s family had two children – sisters Melanie and Iodine, which were older than him. Because of this, that the sisters engaged in the education of the child, as the parents had time for it because of work commitments.

To all problems added the need to learn to play the violin, that it is not like a future star.
Become the star of Michael wanted since childhood, literally 7 years, while playing the violin pleasure does not bring, especially because he was left-handed. At that time George repeated or tried to repeat all the tunes that he heard on the radio. Father did not share the Hobbies of the son, unlike his mother, who had the strongest support in his career and gave the recorder with recording function.

It became popular within the UK, taking first place in various charts. Best creation from the album was the clip.
