I always feel this era was the time when this kind of music was at its peak. First we had Soul II Soul and then a few others, with William Orbit among those behind this single.



Praying For Time is George Michael's 4th solo NM #1, the other 3 being Careless Whisper, Faith and Kissing A Fool. It was better than that though. Having bought and really liked the album Faith I bought the album Listen Without Prejudice on its week of release and it was my #1 album for several months.

Well it was a number one in my chart back when I did my original charts and I have tried to stick as close as possible. I had no preconceptions of her at that point, it’s was a brilliant vocal from a hot new female singer , big US number one, and I was still into that in 1990. My main radio station at that time was Atlantic 252, limited radio stations on Isle of Skye where I was at the time ,and they played it about 10 times a day lol. Only bought two of her singles and that was one of them.
