Sometimes it pays off to do things other wouldn’t dare to. Sam Beam’s unlikely and exquisite cover of George Michael’s 1988 number-one hit, reworked with celestial organ, clarinet, and strikingly effusive vocals, is a reaffirmation of Michael’s underrated genius as a songwriter.

    I heard this earlier today and decided that Sam Beam is literally a perfect human. Or at least a perfect cover artist.
