Simon Napier-Bell described the holiday song from the iconic pop duo as a “magnificent piece of work.”
Former Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell is opening up about the duo’s iconic holiday track “Last Christmas.”
Napier-Bell, in a recent interview with The Telegraph, remarked on how “extraordinary” it is that the track holds up today before revealing how the late singer-songwriter George Michael viewed the song.
“He was always slightly upset by the fact [that] he naggingly knew it was the best thing he ever wrote,” Napier-Bell said. “George, above all, really wanted to be remembered as a great songwriter. And I think at the bottom of his mind... it was rather annoying that the song he got so perfect was a Christmas song.”
The former Wham! manager, elsewhere in the interview, referred to the song as a “magnificent piece of work.”
“How can you create a Christmas song that has bells in it, which says ‘Christmas’ every three seconds, and yet has nothing cheesy about it?” he said of the 1984 song.
