George Michael Update Singer Died Of Heart Failure – 20 Essential Songs - Video

George Michael Update Singer Died Of Heart Failure – 20 Essential Songs by George Michael Earlier it was reported that George Michael, head of the 80s singing group called WHAM!, died on Christmas Day at his home but the reasons for his passing were not provided at the time. George Michael was just 53 years old. “It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother, and friend George Michael passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period. The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage.” That was the statement, but now comes word that Mr. Michael died of heart failure. Tributes to George Michael have come pouring in. Carrie Underwood took to Instagram to report that “"As a child, his was the first voice I could pick out of the sea of voices I heard on the radio. Before I knew anything about him, I knew his voice. As an adult, I cried when I saw him in concert. His songs and his voice helped to teach me how to sing. I will forever regret not letting him know. Thank you, George, for giving the world your gifts." George Michael's songs came to define the 80s. His romantic “Careless Whsipers” was the song that, when it was played at The Dry Gulch Nightclub on the campus of The University of Texas At Arlington, where I attended as an undergraduate before going to UC Berkeley for graduate school, when that song was played, the lights were turned down, and you asked a woman you were serious about meeting to dance. If you were already out on the floor with her, staying out there when “Careless Whsipers” played indicated that you were an item – if only for the night. Rolling Stones has a list of George Michael 20 songs you have to listen to: 1. Wham!, "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" (1984) 2. "Careless Whisper" (1984) 3. Wham!, "Everything She Wants" (1984) 4.

"I Want Your Sex" (1987) 9. "Faith" (1987) 10. "Father Figure" (1988) 11. "One More Try" (1988) 12. "Praying for Time" (1990) 13. "Freedom! '90" (1990) 14. Elton John feat.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
