Arguably the greatest blue-eyed soul singer - and one of the great soul singers period - of the last thirty years. If you didn't know, George started off in Wham! before going solo, racking up seven American number one singles and a Grammy for Album of the Year. He was big folks. He hasn't had a hit in fifteen years, so I guess it's understandable that he's ranked so low.

I didn't know he sang soul music. I thought it was weird that the guy from Wham! was on stage the night Patti snatched the mic out of Diana's hand, but I guess I was wrong.
I love George! Well, the 80's version of him. Nowadays I don't like him nearly as much. Or at all, really. Faith was a great album and his singing is great.
The first real legend we've seen so far, Gladys possesses one of my favorite voices of all time. Tender and rough, sensual and spiritual - truly a blessed instrument.

Obviously we all know his biggest hit as a solo artist.
But what's really amazing, and what his stint as a judge on The Voice has shown, is his versatility as a singer.
