On this day twenty five years ago, Edge of Heaven, the last single by Wham! was at Number One in the charts. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, dear friends...
I still remember hearing this for the first time, thinking it was the best Wham song yet (besides "Last Christmas"). Sadly it would also be their last song.
I dont think that would work - like you said, they belonged to that time! Besides, I was a huge Duran Duran fan (even though I did like Wham as well) and DD have done a lot more great stuff since the 80s than Wham would ever have been able to. George on the other hand has of course done some great (and some not so great) stuff since then...
At the time of it's release I didn't like Edge of Heaven at all - I thought Wham! peaked with Freedom although time is a funny thing and now I'm much more likely to listen to this or I'm Your Man (another song I wasn't sold on upon release).

ReplyDeleteThey were such a fun band, but very much of their era. I am so pleased they never joined in this trend for reunions/nostalgia tours! Jx

ReplyDeleteMy God why hasn't time stopped yet!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it has been 25 years. Love the song still, among many other Wham songs
