Did Michael ever say if he ever fumbled singing this song in concert? It's such a tongue twister and he sings it so fast! 

Did he ever use a teleprompter for lyrics? Seems like he knew about 700 songs!

Considering his huge library of songs, Michael rarely forgot lyrics. No teleprompter. One time I printed out lyrics to a short Christmas song for the stage floor but only because he was just starting to learn it.

As for the Wonderful World of Sex, I said this 1968 recording was the earliest I have in the archives. The first recording I personally made of a concert performance was 1975. Here is a mjblue.com message board exclusive (unlisted YouTube). It's the latest recording I have - probably around 2008 but I'm just guessing. A rare non-concert recording and he does leave out a couple lines. Warning - strong language.  Big Grin

Thanks for asking! (And I never heard him mess up this song in concert...)
