JESUS TO A CHILD

George Michael

“Jesus To A Child” was dedicated to Anselmo Feleppa. He and George Michael were in a relationship. The couple met in Rio de Janeiro in 1991. Eight months into their relationship, Feleppo was diagnosed with AIDS. He passed away in 1993.

George wrote the song while dealing with his grief. This was his first meaningful relationship. It marked a new phase in his career.

It was released as the lead single from his album ‘Older’ and reached #1 in the UK, Australia, parts of Europe and in Israel.
