"Waiting for That Day" is a song performed and largely written by George Michael which was released on Epic Records in 1990 in the UK and on Columbia Records in 1991 in the US. The song was the second single from Michael's ''Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1'' album in the UK, and released as the third single from the album in the US and Australia. "Waiting for That Day" peaked at #23 in the UK in October 1990 and was followed in the UK by three more singles from the album, all of which peaked slightly lower than that of its predecessor. In the US the song debuted on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 on 9 February 1991, appeared on the chart for five weeks, and peaked at #27.〔Joel Whitburn, The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits (8th Ed. 2004), page 423, ISBn o-8230-7449-4〕 Although Michael wrote the song alone, the chords and rhythm are very similar to The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want". This title is included at the very end of Michael's song, and a co-writer credit was given to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The song also contains samples from the song "Funky Drummer" by James Brown. The song did not enjoy great chart success in the United States, becoming Michael's first single to miss the top 10. The single's B-side, "Mother's Pride" achieved some airplay success during the Gulf War. ==Track listing== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waiting for That Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
