It was a pleasant surprise that the BET Awards paid tribute to George Michael on Sunday.
Kamasi Washington played saxophone while El Debarge sang “Careless Whisper” in tribute to George Michael at the 2017 BET Awards.
Reaction to the tribute has been mostly positive.
Don't you think George would have been honored that the BET Awards paid tribute to his music? https://t.co/DaDBKsl8FR

Missing George so much! He would have been greatly honored for the tribute on BET! He was the only white artist, but he definitely had soul!❤️
