Album: Make It Big
Video: Difficult to find. It's all there but you have to be patient.
"Freedom" was a hit song by Wham! I'm not just excited, the exclamation point is actually part of the band's name. It's from their breakthrough album "Make It Big"! That time I was excited.
George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley were two young schoolmates in England who became one of the most adored pop bands of the early 80's. It turned out that Michael had all the talent, which led to his becoming a superstar in his own right, while Ridgeley plays golf.
Wham! was at their creative peak when "Make It Big" was released in 1984. In 1985 they became the first Western pop group to tour China. The "Freedom" video documents the band's China experience.
This song is about a distressed man who is unable to secure a commitment from his lover. The video, in contrast, features George and Andy frolicking and having a jolly time.
On this day in 1985, the best-selling album of the year was released: Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms".
