Summary of James Gavin's George Michael

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 George’s father, Jack, was the model of a self-made 1960s man’s man. He had grown up with seven siblings in Cyprus, and in London he had started as a busboy and eventually became a waiter. He wanted to better his family’s situation, so he and his wife Lesley emigrated to London.

#2 Jack, the owner of the restaurant, was a shining immigrant success story. He had far more charisma than his partners, and he wanted to buy them out. He was a quiet boy, but his father did not appreciate his silence.

#3 George’s parents did not allow him to listen to music, but he found a way to get around it. He began taping songs off the radio, and after learning them by heart, he would sing them into his recorder. He would then play the recordings for his friends.

#4 In 1974, Georgios watched the American TV show The Partridge Family, which was hosted by David Cassidy, a pinup idol who had begun his first British tour that year. Georgios had a crush on Cassidy, and when he saw him kick a football on top of the twenty-four-story London Television Centre, he was completely blown away.
