As to the poofter, George Michael...
He wasn’t always a poofter! When he was younger, he was very much hetero. There are stories, interviews and reports of him being very much a horn dog towards the ladies when he was in his teens and early 20’s. It wasn’t until later that his door started swinging both ways.
Careless Whisper was written by him when he was 17. Music and lyrics. The iconic sax solo came to him first. He wrote the song in his head.
Say what you will about his sexual proclivities, and you could say a lot, but he was a very talented musician.
What instrument did he play?
