Andrew Ridgeley (January 26, 1963- )

(Enjoy What You Do),' 'Young Guns (Go for It!),' 'Bad Boys,' 'Club Tropicana,' 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go,' 'Careless Whisper,' 'Freedom,' 'Last Christmas,' 'Everything She Wants,' 'I'm Your Man,' 'A Different Corner,' 'Battlestations,' 'Where Did Your Heart Go' and 'The Edge of Heaven'
Why they might be annoying
'WHAM' is an action verb, so '!' was unnecessary.
They had to sign away royalties from their 1983 debut album to get a new record contract.
Is there a song that could rival the gayness of 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go?' (with the sunshine brighter than Doris Day)
'Careless Whisper' was issued in the U.S. under 'George Michael of Wham!.'
It was painfully obvious Michael was using the band as a stepping stone to launch a solo career.
Since the demise of the band Ridgeley's career is in the toilet.
Ridgeley tried to become a race car driver and failed.
They are considered the flashpoint for the influx of boy bands that surged in the '80s, continuing into the '90s.
Why they might not be annoying
Their 'Make It Big' album was a self-fulfilling prophecy as it went #1 in both the U.K. and U.S.
'Careless Whisper' was the #1 song in the U.S. in 1985.
Their farewell performance at London's Wembley Stadium drew a sold-out audience of 72,000 fans.
After four years, they broke up and have no plans to get back together to record.
They remain good friends.
