George Michael left us with a catalog of incredible music.  He was a uniquely and superbly talented singer, songwriter and producer.  Elton John says, "I am in deep shock. I have lost a beloved friend, the kindest, most generous soul and a brilliant artist. My heart goes out to his family and all of his fans." Brian Wilson says, "Very sad to hear that George Michael passed. He was a very talented musician and singer. Love & mercy to his family, friends and fans." Paul McCartney says, "George Michael's sweet soul music will live on even after his sudden death. Having worked with him on a number of occasions, his great talent always shone through and his self deprecating sense of humor made the experience even more pleasurable." We are left with a rich legacy of music and performances.  He enjoyed unanimous acclaim among his fellow artists. In 2014 he was the first contemporary artist EVER to be invited to perform at the Palais Garnier Opera House, and he brought the house down.
