Faith - George Michael - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Faith" is an iconic track by English singer-songwriter George Michael. Released as the second single from his 1987 debut solo album, also titled Faith, the song was written, arranged, and produced by George Michael himself. The origins of "Faith" trace back to May 1987 at Denmark's PUK Studios. Initially, it started with a simple LinnDrum loop and evolved with Hugh Burns' distinctive Bo Diddley-style guitar rhythm. The track further came to life with Deon Estus' bass and a cathedral organ part, capturing a unique sound blend. Interestingly, "Faith" wasn't initially intended as a single. It was only after realizing its potential and extending its length with a 50s-inspired guitar solo by Burns that Michael decided to release it. Musically, "Faith" is notable for its use of the Bo Diddley beat, a classic rock and roll rhythm. Shortly after its release, the song peaked at number 1 on the US Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Official UK Singles Chart.
