"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English language singer George Michael. It was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[4] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! anthology Make It Large.
The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its outset release. It was released as a single and became a huge commercial success around the earth. Information technology reached number 1 in most 25 countries, selling about half dozen million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United States.[5]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant about Bushey, Hertfordshire.[6] Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, 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 accept always written on buses, trains and in cars. Information technology always happens on journeys... With 'Devil-may-care Whisper' I remember exactly where information technology first came to me, where I came upwards with the sax line... I call up I was handing the money over to the guy on the bus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote information technology totally in my caput. I worked on it for about iii months in my caput."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sis, who was two years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "In that location was a girl at that place with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fatty boy in glasses and I had a large crush on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sis used to go and exercise 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 sixteen, I had my first relationship with a daughter called Helen," Michael continued.
Information technology had simply started to cool off a chip when I discovered that the blonde daughter from Queensway had moved in just around the corner from my school. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and wait for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift dwelling from school. And i day I saw her walk downwardly the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come up from? She didn't know it was me. Information technology was a few years afterwards and I looked a lot different. And then we played a schoolhouse disco with The Executive and she saw me singing and decided she fancied me. Past this time she was that much older and a big buxom affair – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one day when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in sky.[8]
Michael observed that after he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't even see me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.
And so I went out with her for a couple of months but I didn't cease seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a ii-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a hard time considering they found out and they really liked the first daughter. The whole thought of "Careless Whisper" was the first daughter finding out nigh the second – which she never did. Simply I started another relationship with a daughter chosen Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a scrap complicated. Jane found out virtually her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, being this 2-timer, just in that location really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the first girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was almost her. "Devil-may-care Whisper" was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – nosotros are dancing ... only she knows ... and it'due south finished.[8]
Andrew Ridgeley came up with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th altogether.[9] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'south aunt's basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[ix] [10]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded past local music producer Paul Mex, in Jan 1982 alongside those for "Order Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Bask What You Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley'due south home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC four-rail Portastudio. Considering most of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned abode by that point, Devil-may-care Whisper had to be recorded in one take very quickly. It featured a Doc Rhythm drum machine, an audio-visual guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played past Dave West), with Michael's vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[eleven] [12] The overall toll of the recording was £20 (largely due to the rental toll of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Mark Dean on the force of the demos.[13] [14]
A more complete and fully realised 2nd demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[fifteen] However, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were chosen over by Dean to sign a contract in add-on to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that mean solar day:
"1 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 nosotros signed the contract with Marker [Dean] that mean solar day, the day I finally believed we had number-ane fabric. That same mean solar day we signed it all away. But you lot can never really know what you are capable of, you can never really have that foresight."[15]
Product [edit]
The song went through at least ii rounds of product. The showtime was during a trip Michael fabricated 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 by Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the vocal himself; the 2nd version was the one ultimately released every bit a single.
After the backing rail and George'southward vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone histrion from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at xi and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! managing director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was yet there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. But that had been made 2 years earlier by a friend of George'southward who lived round the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[18]
While the saxophonist appeared to exist playing the role perfectly, Michael told him, "No, information technology's still non right, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him nonetheless once again. "Information technology has to twitch upward a little but there! Run across...? And not besides much."[xviii]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'southward dispute with the sax sound. "Is there actually something George wants that's dissimilar from what the sax role player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things similar this before. There'due south some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow not getting right. Although you lot and I can't hear what information technology is, information technology may be the very thing that volition make the record a hit. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, and so unbelievably unpredictable, we just can't take the risk of being impatient. Merely this sax histrion'south not going to get it, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the year, 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" afterwards the Guild Fantastic Megamix every bit early equally 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not end the release of the Guild Fantastic Megamix, he could cease the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "have the right to grant the first license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything near the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released material. He said: "We knew how large that song could be, and then it was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[nineteen] Towards the stop of 1983, Michael was as well committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the center of the tour, despite it being part of the setlist.[20]
Michael afterwards went back to London'southward Sarm Westward'south Studio ii to re-tape the track, the backbone of which was washed with a live rhythm department in ane take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" every bit Michael added, although the feel of it was basically live.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the song's production and how it turned out in the cease:
"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and and then nosotros completely re-did the track about iv weeks earlier it was due to be released. When we originally fabricated it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and information technology was the first fourth dimension that I had e'er felt similar that about 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 drunkard in order to sing, I was so nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions near whether the record was skillful enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it considering it just did not sound like me. I said 'it'due south great. Jerry'south done a smashing task on it', and for the offset time since nosotros'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already two and a half years old and I just did not accept a clue about where else I could take information technology. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'thousand going to go in and do it as if it had never been done before with the musicians we normally use and see what happens.' The runway was much better because I was relaxed and I recall that our musicians did a much better job than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]
According to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a call to re-record the vocal's distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone player to record the solo, for Michael was determined to go the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do not accept much idea what they are going to exist recording until they arrive, and this was the case for Steve and another saxophonist who was alee of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
Equally usual at that place was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'it'south simply going to be some crappy B side anyhow and so I'm off'. Steve waited and and then discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written key, as his quondam Selmer Mark Six tenor didn't have a top F♯ cardinal. And then, the engineer slowed the tape downward so that Steve could tape the solo a semitone lower than intended. Once the tape was put dorsum to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone sound was created that sounded a bit like an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, but lacking a bit more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had just arrived at the studio and said 'that's the one, that'due south the sax solo I desire'. This could be down to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or simply that George never recognized it was 'incorrect'.[23]
The officially released unmarried was issued in Baronial 1984, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number i, ending a nine-week run at the tiptop for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number 1 for three weeks, going on to go the 5th best-selling single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold but by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "2 Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Chosen to Say I Honey You", and Band Aid'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 Feb 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the elevation in America, the song was later named Billboard 's number-i vocal of 1985. The song was #1 on the polish radio summit 500 songs of all fourth dimension 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 yous tin write a lyric very flippantly—and not a peculiarly skilful lyric—and information technology can mean so much to and so many people. That'due 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 Up Before You Go-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. Information technology was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in Feb 1984[24] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Isle. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top flooring balcony of Miami'due south Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A starting time original version of the video was edited with the Jerry Wexler 1983 version, and featured Andrew as a cameo, handing over a letter of the alphabet to a dark-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, only was then re-edited afterward.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] According to Michael's co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene and then nosotros had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain about ... So George decided he didn't like his hair and so he flew his sis over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
As the band felt they had "screwed upwards" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was afterward shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[28] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 Oct 2009. Information technology has over 834 million views as of 2022.
