"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English vocaliser George Michael. It was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[iv] 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 single and became a huge commercial success around the earth. It reached number ane in nearly 25 countries, selling nigh half-dozen million copies worldwide—2 1000000 of them in the United States.[5]

Background [edit]

Limerick and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant near Bushey, Hertfordshire.[six] Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, that he conceptualised "Careless Whisper" based on events from his babyhood. 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. It ever happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I retrieve exactly where it starting time came to me, where I came upward with the sax line... I remember I was handing the money over to the guy on the autobus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on it for about iii months in my head."[seven]

"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was two years older, to an water ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl there with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fat male child in glasses and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand a chance. 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 later, when I was xvi, I had my get-go relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued.

It had only started to cool off a fleck when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in merely around the corner from my schoolhouse. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and look for my side by side-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift home from school. And one solar day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I thought – at present where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years later and I looked a lot dissimilar. So we played a schoolhouse 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 i day when I was waiting for my elevator and I was ... in heaven.[8]

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

And 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 being a 2-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a hard time considering they establish out and they really liked the first daughter. The whole idea of "Devil-may-care Whisper" was the outset girl finding out near the second – which she never did. Simply I started another relationship with a girl chosen Alexis without finishing the i with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane establish out nearly her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, existence this 2-timer, simply there actually wasn't that much emotion involved. I did experience guilty about the first girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was us 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's house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt's basement apartment in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[ix] [ten]

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 You Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's dwelling (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'south TEAC iv-track Portastudio. Because most of the solar day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned habitation by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one have very quickly. It featured a Doc Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played past Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave Westward), with Michael'due south vocal (recorded with a microphone fastened to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall price 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 complete and fully realised 2d demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Middle, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were called over past Dean to sign a contract in addition to the tape 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 band, a sax and everything. Information technology was ironic that nosotros signed the contract with Marking [Dean] that day, the twenty-four hours I finally believed nosotros had number-ane material. That aforementioned day we signed it all away. But y'all can never actually know what you are capable of, y'all tin can never really take 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.[16] [17] Michael was unhappy with the original version produced past Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the song himself; the second version was the one ultimately released as a single.

After the backing rail and George'southward vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the elevation saxophone role player from Los Angeles to fly in and exercise the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, later on two hours, he was withal in that location while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the mode it had been on the demo. But that had been made two years earlier by a friend of George's who lived round the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[eighteen]

While the saxophonist appeared to be playing the part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, information technology'due south notwithstanding non right, you come across..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the role to him yet over again. "It has to twitch upwards a petty just there! Meet...? And not too much."[xviii]

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 player is playing?" Napier-Bong asked.[xviii] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.

I've seen things like this before. There'southward some tiny nuance that the sax actor is somehow not getting right. Although you and I can't hear what it is, information technology may be the very matter that volition brand the record a striking. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, we just tin't accept the hazard of existence impatient. But this sax player's not going to get it, 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 record characterization Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Gild Fantastic Megamix as early equally 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the footing that equally a publisher they "have the right to grant the starting time license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to practice anything nigh the Club Fantastic Megamix because information technology was already released material. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, so it was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was as well committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him information technology would not take fabricated sense to release "Devil-may-care Whisper" as a solo single in the center of the tour, despite it being function of the setlist.[20]

Michael later went back to London's Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-record the track, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in i take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" as Michael added, although the feel of information technology was basically live.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the song's production and how it turned out in the terminate:

"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and so we completely re-did the rails about four weeks earlier it was due to exist released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first fourth dimension that I had e'er felt like that virtually anybody that I'd worked with. Unremarkably I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to go drunk in gild to sing, I was and then nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions well-nigh whether the record was skillful enough for the song and whether in that location was enough of me in it because it just did not sound similar me. I said 'information technology's great. Jerry's done a bang-up job on it', and for the first time since nosotros'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already ii and a half years onetime and I simply did not have a inkling well-nigh where else I could have information technology. Eventually I merely thought, 'sod this. I'thou going to go in and do information technology as if information technology had never been done before with the musicians we normally use and run into what happens.' The rail was much meliorate considering I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much better job than the Musculus Shoals section". [22]

Co-ordinate 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 record the solo, for Michael was determined to become the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do not have much idea what they are going to be recording until they arrive, and this was the instance for Steve and some other saxophonist who was alee of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.

As usual there was a lot of waiting effectually and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'it's 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 primal, as his old Selmer Mark Six tenor didn't have a height F♯ primal. So, the engineer slowed the tape down and then that Steve could record 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 lacking 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 want'. This could be down to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or simply that George never recognized information technology was 'incorrect'.[23]

The officially released single was issued in Baronial 1984, inbound the U.k. Singles Chart at number 12. Within 2 weeks it was at number ane, ending a nine-week run at the elevation for "2 Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[four] It stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to become the fifth all-time-selling unmarried of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold just by the ii Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I But Called to Say I Beloved You", and Band Help's "Do They Know It's Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in February 1985 nether the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the top in America, the vocal was after named Billboard 'southward number-one song of 1985. The song was #1 on the smooth radio acme 500 songs of all time chart – proving its iconic condition.

Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the vocal. He said in 1991 that it "was not an integral part of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly proficient lyric—and it can mean and then much to so many people. That'south disillusioning for a author."[19]

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 Upward Before Yous Become-Go") shows the guilt felt by a human being (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to find out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the adult female who lures George away. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[24] and features such locales as Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Island. The concluding part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balcony of Miami's 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 detailed storyline, only was then re-edited after.[27]

Co-ordinate to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] Co-ordinate to Michael's co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so nosotros had to reshoot it, which I didn't mutter nigh ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut information technology and nosotros had to reshoot more than scenes."[29]

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.[28] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube aqueduct on 24 October 2009. Information technology has over 834 million views as of 2022.
