Boogie Box High
Jive Talking

If one rumour was talked about back in 1987 then it has to be this one: Does George Michael sing on that Boogie Box High single? Well, the answer of course is yes and the song was a hit no matter whether people knew it or not. The video for the track also didn't give the public a clue as it was fully animated. Like so often before it was the coverage taking place in the press that gave the project the promotional kick it needed to make customers curious enough to buy the single.

Long-time Bee Gees admirer George (he was 15 years of age when Saturday Night Fever hit the silver screens across Britain) probably had a lot of fun while working together with Andreas Georgiou (George's cousin) and Chris Porter (George's engineer since the Wham! days) who both produced the track.
Someone like T. Roy Morris also featured on the Boogie Box High album Outrageous as background singer and keyboardist on many tracks and you may take a guess who that is?
Another interesting fact by the way: co-executive producer besides Georgiou was Simon Halfon who later co-designed the sleeves for Andrew Ridgeley's and many of George's releases.

The song's versions are as follows:
