Absolutely LOVED this Documentary DVD! (I missed seeing it in the theatre due to being sick w/COVID) But was much happier to watch it at home! It made me cry from sadness, and I cried from happiness… I can’t even put into words how happy I am with this DVD. I am a HUGE George Michael fan and have been since the beginning of his career so getting the opportunity to add this to my collection is awesome! George Michael was a truly amazing and talented writer/musician/artist/performer. The world is a sadder place without him. I also must say that I’ll now be a loyal MusicVideoResource customer. They have such a huge variety on DVD! Their customer service is always phenomenal! The prices are great.
