"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English vocalist George Michael. It was written past Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[4] 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 by a number of artists since its first release. It was released every bit a single and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number i in nearly 25 countries, selling about half dozen meg copies worldwide—ii million of them in the U.s.a..[5]

Background [edit]

Composition and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air eatery virtually Bushey, Hertfordshire.[half dozen] Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, that he conceptualised "Devil-may-care 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 take always written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I think exactly where it first came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I retrieve I was handing the money over to the guy on the bus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on it for about 3 months in my head."[7]

"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sis, who was ii years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl there with long blonde pilus whose proper noun was Jane. I was a fat male child in glasses and I had a big beat out on her - though I didn't stand a gamble. My sister used to go and practise 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 afterward, when I was sixteen, I had my beginning relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued.

Information technology had but started to cool off a scrap when I discovered that the blonde daughter 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 expect for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift home from schoolhouse. And i 24-hour interval I saw her walk down the path adjacent to me and I thought – now where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years subsequently and I looked a lot different. So nosotros played a school disco with The Executive and she saw me singing and decided she fancied me. Past this time she was that much older and a large buxom thing – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in 1 twenty-four hour period when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[8]

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

So I went out with her for a couple of months only I didn't end seeing Helen. I thought I was existence smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a two-timer. And I call up my sisters used to give me a hard time because they found out and they actually liked the first girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the offset girl finding out about the 2nd – which she never did. Simply I started another human relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a scrap complicated. Jane establish out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was existence absurd, being this two-timer, but there actually wasn't that much emotion involved. I did experience guilty about the starting time girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was nigh her. "Careless Whisper" was u.s.a. dancing, because nosotros danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and information technology's finished.[viii]

Andrew Ridgeley came up 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'due south house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt's basement apartment in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[ix] [10]

Demoing [edit]

The original demo was recorded past local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 aslope those for "Society Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Savor What You Do)" in the front end room of Ridgeley'south dwelling (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC four-track Portastudio. Because almost of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned home by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one take very apace. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave Due west), with Michael's vocal (recorded with a microphone fastened to a broom handle).[xi] [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 Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[13] [14]

A more than complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Heart, Holloway, London with a backing ring and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the same solar day, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in addition to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that day:

"One 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 Marker [Dean] that 24-hour interval, the day I finally believed we had number-one material. That same solar day we signed it all away. But you tin never really know what you lot are capable of, you can never really have that foresight."[15]

Production [edit]

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

After the backing track and George'south vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[18] "He arrived at xi and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was still there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He only couldn't play the opening riff the style George wanted information technology, the fashion information technology had been on the demo. But that had been made ii years before past a friend of George'due south who lived round 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 notwithstanding not correct, yous run into..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet again. "Information technology has to twitch up a little just there! Run into...? And non too much."[18]

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

"I've seen things like this before. At that place's some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow not getting right. Although you and I can't hear what it is, it may exist the very thing that will make the tape a striking. The success of popular records is then ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, we just tin't have the hazard of being impatient. But this sax player'south not going to get it, is he!"[18]

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

The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" later on the Society Fantastic Megamix as early on as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not terminate the release of the Gild Fantastic Megamix, he could cease the release of this single on the ground that as a publisher they "have the correct to grant the first license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything about the Social club Fantastic Megamix considering it was already released material. He said: "We knew how big that vocal could exist, so it was necessary to upset a few people to end it."[19] Towards the finish of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, and then according to him it would not take fabricated sense to release "Devil-may-care Whisper" equally a solo single in the center of the tour, despite it being part of the setlist.[twenty]

Michael afterward went back to London's Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-record the rail, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in 1 accept, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" as Michael added, although the feel of it was basically live.[21] [22]

Michael elaborated on the song'south production and how it turned out in the end:

"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. And so we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video so we completely re-did the track nigh four weeks before information technology was due to be released. When we originally fabricated information technology I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the starting time time that I had ever felt like that well-nigh anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I take trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to get drunkard in order to sing, I was and so nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was good enough for the vocal and whether there was enough of me in it because it merely did not sound like me. I said 'information technology'due south great. Jerry's done a great chore on it', and for the first time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the vocal was already ii and a half years old and I just did not have a clue about where else I could have it. Eventually I only thought, 'sod this. I'thou going to go in and do it equally if information technology had never been washed earlier with the musicians we normally apply and see what happens.' The track was much improve considering I was relaxed and I retrieve that our musicians did a much better task than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]

Later on hiring and firing several other different sax players, for which the BBC characterized as struggling to play all the notes with "the right amount of fluidity and still breathe,"[23] Michael eventually heard what he was looking for from Steve Gregory.[24]

During an interview with DJ Danny Sun, Gregory said he was the 9th sax player to attempt the riff. Gregory said Michael's secretary had phoned him upwards midday and asked him to give the solo a endeavor.[25]

"When I got there, it was about getting on to midnight, and at that place was another saxophone thespian in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing here?' And George hadn't showed upwardly. And then Ray was a bit fed upwards. He said 'Well I'grand going, you tin can practise it. I've had enough of waiting.' And then he left and it was only myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long day, I'grand going to do a better chore now than I will at 3 o'clock in the morning time, and so tin we endeavour and practice something? And then we went into the control room and George had already recorded it in LA with Jerry Wexler producing it and Tom Scott playing the saxophone line...he said this is what you got to do and he played this and I thought 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to do it again? I can't play it every bit well as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it'due south a new version, he's done his own production, it's a new runway, information technology's got to be re-washed, he just needs that on the new track,' so I went in the studio I tried to practise it and my saxophone is an old Selmer (tenor sax) from about 1954 or something and I didn't have that top notation. I didn't have a proper annotation on my saxophone, I had what we call a false fingering I had to do to play it. So it didn't actually sound that smoothen. It didn't sound that bully. And so having been around for a while, having had a bit of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took information technology down past a semitone, a very small amount, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and we could run into how information technology sounds. So that'due south what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it down a semitone, so I went out again and I played it in a lower central and when afterward I finished information technology I went back into the control room and he played it back and he put it dorsum up to the proper speed, and equally he was playing it back, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I call back we got it!' And so he pointed at me and said, 'You are number nine!'"

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number one, ending a ix-week run at the peak for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[four] It stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to get the 5th best-selling single of 1984 in the Uk; outsold but by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I But Called to Say I Love You", and Band Aid'southward "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 later on named Billboard 's number-ane song of 1985. The vocal was #1 on the polish radio acme 500 songs of all time chart – proving its iconic status.

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

Music video [edit]

The official music video (which uses the shorter single version instead of the full album version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go") shows the guilt felt by a human (portrayed by Michael) over an matter, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to observe out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George abroad. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in Feb 1984[26] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The final office of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balustrade of Miami'south Grove Towers.[27] [28]

A start 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 detailed storyline, but was then re-edited later on.[29]

According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[30] According to Michael's co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so we had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain about ... And then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]

As the band felt they had "screwed up" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was later shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[xxx] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 one thousand thousand views every bit of 2022.
