George Michael wrote “Father Figure” and put out the earliest release of it on file, in 1987. Also recorded by Tufts University Beelzebubs (released 1993), The Hangovers (released 2005) and Johns Hopkins University Octopodes (released 1997), among 33 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz. LL Cool J’s “Father” (1997) samples it, per MusicBrainz.
Flip over LL's "Father" and George Michael's name is sitting in the credits right next to LL, Poke and Tone, because the whole thing runs on "Father Figure." Play them back to back and you'll hear a pop confession turned into a rap one.
