Netflix Drops First Trailer For New Documentary, Wham!

Footage of George Michael’s first-ever TV performance with Wham! shows the 19-year-old singer was a natural showman from the very beginning.

Teenage George, who at the time was a part-time DJ by night and a cinema attendant by day, seemed like he’d performing for years as he sang ‘Wham Rap’ and ‘Young Guns’ on TV for the first time.

Joined on stage by bandmate Andrew Ridgeley and singers Dee C. Lee and Shirlie Holliman, George stunned the audience with the accomplished performance that eventually got Wham! spotted by the producers of Top Of The Pops.
