YouTube Description:

During our trip to LA, we met up with Grammy nominated saxophonist Dave Koz to tell him about Postmodern Jukebox. He loved the idea, and offered to help us do a vintage remake of that song with that famous 80's sax riff. Check out the "Careless Whisper" variations in his solo at 1:42

Good stuff. But the emotion of the original is lost.

For you maybe-Liked it better than GM's version-Then again not a huge WHAM fan...

Quirky, but I agree that the upbeat tempo doesn't really convey heart ache or loss to me...

Ya, all through this I kept imagining her singing a SLOWER version, Jessica Rabbit gown, dark smokey bar (fog machine, gotta protect that voice), single diffuse spotlight, and got the shivers.

Love the bassist when Koz jumps in at :50

Great arrangement and playing, but not digging the vocal.
