Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (/ËhjÉrhjoÊs/ /ËkÉªrjÉËkoÊs/ /ËpÉËnÉËjoÊtuË/; 25 June 1963 â 25 December 2016), known professionally as George Michael, was an English singer, songwriter, record producer, and philanthropist who rose to fame as a member of the music duo Wham!
Originally calling themselves The Pigeons, they changed the name to Vanilla Fudge in 1966, after the replacement of Brennan by Appice. The group was then âdiscoveredâ and managed by reputed Lucchese crime family member Phillip Basile, who operated several popular clubs in New York. Their first three albums (Vanilla Fudge, The Beat Goes On, and Renaissance) were produced by Shadow Morton, whom the band met through The Rascals. When Led Zeppelin first toured the USA in early 1969, they supported Vanilla Fudge on some shows.
