Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (born 25 June 1963), better known by his stage name
George Michael, is an English singer, songwriter and record producer. Michael rose to fame during the 1980s and 1990s with his style of
post-disco dance-pop. He has also been characterised as a
blue-eyed soul singer, although his material draws more from
middle-of-the-road pop than soul music.
