Father Figure Feb 14, 2024

Show notes

Join us this week for a special Valentine's Day episode where we dim the lights and talk all about Father Figure from the 1987 album "Faith"! This is in our estimation the quentissential George Michael song and we wanted to make sure we dedicated all the time we needed to cover all the facets of recording, performing and the impact that it has had on the landscape of pop music in the last 37 years. We take our time and go long on this one so grab a glass of wine and sit back and be transported back to a time that we all remember so fondly!
