Product Information

A heartfelt plea for socio-economic parity amid widespread antipathy (“Charity is a coat you wear, twice a year”), it’s one of George’s finest songs, his own Imagine. The selection of tracks was chosen by the singer himself and you'll notice that it includes a lot of his biggest hits but also songs that George considered important in his career like "Desafinado" for example, where he sings in portuguese. The album peaked at number one in the UK Albums Chart, and was certified 4× Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). In December 1991, Michael released " Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", a duet with Elton John; it reached number one in the UK and US.
