For Michael, it became George Michael's third consecutive solo number-one in the UK from three releases, following 1984's "Careless Whisper" (though the single was actually from the Wham! album "Make It Big") and 1986's "A Different Corner". The single was also the first George Michael had recorded as a solo artist which George Michael had not written himself. The co-writer, Simon Climie, was an unknown at the time, although George Michael would go on to have success as a performer with George Michael Climie Fisher in 1988. With this song, George Michael won a Grammy Award in 1988 for Best R&B Performance - Duo or Group with Vocal.
As successful as the 1974 record had been, it was as a duet that "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" had its greatest success and reached number 1 on the UK singles chart and on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was the only #1 single of the modern era to be recorded at an outdoors venue. Proceeds from the single were divided among 10 different charities for children, AIDS, and education.
