    Amazon is celebrating George Michael with a special collection marking the 40th anniversary of “ Careless Whisper .”

    Released Monday (Sept. 9), the seven-piece collection of T-shirts and hoodies features the lyric “Tonight the music seems so loud,” from Michael’s 1984 hit single with Wham! , along with retro photos of the late singer. The shirts and sweatshirts range from $24.99-$39.99 and are available in sizes S-5XL.

    “We are proud to offer George’s loyal fans and music lovers worldwide, a very special 40th-anniversary edition of his timeless classic, ‘Careless Whisper’ along with an exclusive range of merchandise, only available from the George Michael Amazon shop ,” George Michael Entertainment said in a statement.

    The merch comes about a month before the release of the “Careless Whisper” 40th-anniversary vinyl dropping on Oct. 18. The limited-edition vinyl is available for pre-order at Amazon and will feature a previously unheard live version of “Careless Whisper” recorded at Madison Square Garden.

    Amazon Music partnered with George Michael Entertainment in 2022 to release Amazon Original remixes of tracks taken from his 1996 album, Older .

    “After the incredible success of the Older remix campaign, we’re excited to extend our collaboration with Amazon Music to celebrate such a universally loved track, and pay tribute to the timeless lyrics which continue to connect with fans,” said Andy Chandler, Director of Catalogue Streaming, Sony Music U.K.

    “Careless Whisper,” a breakout hit from Wham!’s sophomore album Make It Big , spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1985. The song was co-written and co-produced by Michael and was credited to Wham! featuring George Michael in the U.S. and solely to Michael in other countries, including his native U.K. The song opens with one of music’s most recognizable, and quintessentially ‘80s, saxophone rifts that’s still popular, four decades later. So popular, that “Careless Whisper” became a TikTok meme with over 42 million posts .
