British vocalist George Michael first became a pop sensation as part of the duo Wham!, which scored monster No.1 hits—each of which Michael wrote single-handedly—such as "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," "Careless Whisper" and "Everything She Wants." Michael went on to a solo career that was wildly successful as well until label and legal troubles drove him to a hiatus that hampered future artistic efforts.
