Think about a young singer who already had 10 number one hits but wanted more. In 1987, George Michael decided to leave his famous duo, Wham!, to try something new. He wrote and played almost every instrument for his first solo album. He started his song “Faith” with a slow church organ playing an old Wham! tune to say goodbye to his past.
The video for this song changed how everyone saw him. He wore a black leather jacket, blue jeans, and silver sunglasses while leaning on a classic jukebox. This was not the happy pop star from before. He looked like a cool rock star now. He worked very hard to show that he was a serious artist who could write great music for everyone.
