"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English vocalist George Michael. It was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[four] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! album Make It Big.

The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered past a number of artists since its first release. It was released as a unmarried and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number ane in nearly 25 countries, selling about six 1000000 copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United States.[v]

Background [edit]

Composition and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working equally a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant near Bushey, Hertfordshire.[6] Michael explained in his autobiography, Blank, that he conceptualised "Careless Whisper" based on events from his childhood. Michael wrote, "I was on my way to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Devil-may-care Whisper'. I have always written on buses, trains and in cars. Information technology always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where it first came to me, where I came upwards with the sax line... I retrieve I was handing the coin over to the guy on the omnibus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on it for most three months in my head."[vii]

"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to take to chaperone my sister, who was two years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl there with long blonde pilus whose name was Jane. I was a fatty boy in glasses and I had a big trounce on her - though I didn't stand a adventure. My sister used to get and do what she wanted when we got to the skating rink and I would spend the afternoon swooning over this girl Jane."[8]

"A few years subsequently, when I was sixteen, I had my first relationship with a girl chosen Helen," Michael continued.

It had merely started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in just effectually the corner from my school. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and await for my side by side-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift domicile from school. And one day I saw her walk downward the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come up from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years later and I looked a lot different. Then we played a school disco with The Executive and she saw me singing and decided she fancied me. By this time she was that much older and a large buxom thing – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one day when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[8]

Michael observed that afterward he stopped wearing spectacles, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't fifty-fifty see me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.

Then I went out with her for a couple of months but I didn't stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to existence a two-timer. And I retrieve my sisters used to give me a hard fourth dimension because they plant out and they really liked the first girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the outset girl finding out nigh the second – which she never did. But I started some other human relationship with a girl chosen Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a flake complicated. Jane constitute out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, being this ii-timer, just in that location really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did experience guilty about the start daughter – and I take seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was the states dancing, because nosotros danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it'south finished.[viii]

Andrew Ridgeley came upwards with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th birthday.[9] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael'southward house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt's basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[9] [10]

Demoing [edit]

The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Savour What Yous Practice)" in the front room of Ridgeley'south home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC iv-track Portastudio. Because near of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's female parent had returned home by that bespeak, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one accept very quickly. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an audio-visual guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played past Dave West), with Michael'southward song (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall cost of the recording was £20 (largely due to the rental cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Marker Dean on the force of the demos.[xiii] [xiv]

A more consummate and fully realised 2d demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a bankroll band and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the aforementioned day, Michael and Ridgely were chosen over by Dean to sign a contract in improver to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that day:

"I of the most incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Careless Whisper' demoed properly, with a ring, a sax and everything. It was ironic that we signed the contract with Mark [Dean] that day, the twenty-four hour period I finally believed nosotros had number-one textile. That same 24-hour interval we signed it all away. Only you can never really know what you lot are capable of, you can never really have that foresight."[15]

Production [edit]

The song went through at least two rounds of production. The first was during a trip Michael made to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to work with producer Jerry Wexler at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in 1983.[xvi] [17] Michael was unhappy with the original version produced past Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the vocal himself; the second version was the one ultimately released as a single.

Later the backing rail and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the peak saxophone actor from Los Angeles to fly in and practice the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after 2 hours, he was still there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the manner George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. But that had been fabricated 2 years earlier past a friend of George's who lived circular the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[18]

While the saxophonist appeared to be playing the office perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's yet non right, you run across..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the office to him all the same once more. "Information technology has to twitch upwards a piddling just there! See...? And not besides much."[18]

Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is in that location really something George wants that'due south different from what the sax histrion is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.

I've seen things like this before. There'southward some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow not getting right. Although you and I tin can't hear what it is, information technology may be the very matter that will brand the tape a hit. The success of pop records is and so imperceptible, and so unbelievably unpredictable, we just tin't accept the gamble of beingness impatient. Only this sax player's not going to get information technology, is he![18]

The version Wexler produced was released later in the year, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the UK and Japan.

The tape label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Devil-may-care Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix as early as 1983. Vocal publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not finish the release of the Social club Fantastic Megamix, he could cease the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "take the right to grant the first license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to practise anything most the Gild Fantastic Megamix because information technology was already released textile. He said: "We knew how big that song could exist, then information technology was necessary to upset a few people to stop information technology."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was likewise committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, then according to him it would not have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the heart of the tour, despite it beingness part of the setlist.[xx]

Michael later went back to London'south Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-record the rail, the courage of which was done with a live rhythm section in one take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] after" equally Michael added, although the experience of it was basically live.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the song's product and how it turned out in the end:

"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Devil-may-care Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and and so nosotros completely re-did the track about iv weeks before information technology was due to be released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first time that I had ever felt similar that near anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I take problem convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to become drunk in order to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions almost whether the record was good plenty for the vocal and whether there was enough of me in it because it just did non audio similar me. I said 'information technology's great. Jerry'south washed a cracking task on it', and for the beginning time since we'd started I was bullheaded to what was going on considering the song was already two and a half years old and I only did not have a inkling near where else I could take it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'thou going to go in and do information technology equally if it had never been done before with the musicians we normally use and come across what happens.' The rail was much amend because I was relaxed and I retrieve that our musicians did a much better task than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]

According to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a telephone call to re-record the song's distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone player to tape the solo, for Michael was determined to go the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians practice non have much idea what they are going to exist recording until they make it, and this was the case for Steve and another saxophonist who was ahead of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.

As usual in that location was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel proverb, 'it'south only going to be some crappy B side anyway so I'm off'. Steve waited and then discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written central, as his onetime Selmer Mark Six tenor didn't have a top F♯ key. So, the engineer slowed the tape down so that Steve could tape the solo a semitone lower than intended. Once the tape was put back to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone sound was created that sounded a chip similar an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, but defective a bit more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had only arrived at the studio and said 'that's the one, that's the sax solo I desire'. This could be down to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or just that George never recognized it was 'wrong'.[23]

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, inbound the Great britain Singles Chart at number 12. Inside ii weeks it was at number one, catastrophe a nine-week run at the meridian for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to go the fifth acknowledged single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold simply by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "2 Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I But Chosen to Say I Love You", and Band Assistance's "Do They Know Information technology'due south Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in February 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the top in America, the song was afterwards named Billboard 's number-1 vocal of 1985. The song was #1 on the smooth radio meridian 500 songs of all time nautical chart – proving its iconic status.

Despite the success, Michael was never addicted of the song. He said in 1991 that information technology "was not an integral part of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that y'all can write a lyric very flippantly—and non a particularly skilful lyric—and information technology tin hateful so much to so many people. That'south disillusioning for a writer."[nineteen]

Music video [edit]

The official music video (which uses the shorter single version instead of the full anthology version and was directed past Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go") shows the guilt felt past a man (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to find out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George away. Information technology was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[24] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The final role of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balcony of Miami'southward Grove Towers.[25] [26]

A first original version of the video was edited with the Jerry Wexler 1983 version, and featured Andrew as a cameo, handing over a letter to a dark-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, simply was then re-edited later.[27]

According to producer Jon Roseman, product of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] According to Michael'south co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene and then we had to reshoot information technology, which I didn't complain about ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair and so he flew his sister over from England to cutting it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[29]

As the ring felt they had "screwed up" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was later on shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[28] The video operation (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube aqueduct on 24 Oct 2009. Information technology has over 834 one thousand thousand views as of 2022.
