Faith (1987) was George Michaelā€™s debut solo album after the 1986 break-up of Wham!, his Britpop band with Andrew Ridgeley. Faith was a huge success, selling 10 million copies in the United States and spawning four number-one singles, including the titular track and ā€œFather Figure.ā€ It showcases a blend of musical styles and marked Michaelā€™s transition from teen idol to international pop icon. Faith won two Grammy Awards, including album of the year.
