Mary J. Blige wowed Glastonbury festival - with the rain pouring down - last evening, doing terrific versions of her "No More Drama" and "Family Affair" which I used to bop to, a decade or more ago ... Here is that delicious video of her and George Michael tackling Stevie Wonder's sublime "As" - it very clever, George and Mary J are everyone in the club.
And I had never seen this before: George joins Paul McCartney for a lively version of a favourite Beatles classic "Drive My Car" at the London Live 8 concert .... take it away, boys.
George's "Outside" is a fun video too, and we love his OLDER album . timeless stuff, and those duets with Aretha, Elton, Astrud Gilberto etc.
