"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English singer 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 Large.

The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its offset release. It was released every bit a single and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number 1 in virtually 25 countries, selling nearly half-dozen million 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 style to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Careless Whisper'. I take ever written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where it first came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I think 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 head. I worked on information technology for near three months in my head."[vii]

"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to accept to chaperone my sister, who was 2 years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl there with long blonde hair whose proper noun was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand a hazard. My sister used to go 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 later, when I was sixteen, I had my first relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael connected.

Information technology had but started to cool off a scrap when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in just around the corner from my schoolhouse. She had moved in right side by side to where I used to stand and await for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a elevator habitation from schoolhouse. And one day I saw her walk downwardly 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 different. Then 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 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 heaven.[8]

Michael observed that after he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the daughter who didn't even meet 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 being smart – I had gone from existence a full loser to being a ii-timer. And I remember my sisters used to requite me a hard fourth dimension considering they found out and they really liked the first girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out about the second – which she never did. But I started some other relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the i with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane found out most her and got rid of me ... The whole time I idea I was beingness cool, beingness this two-timer, but at that place really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did experience guilty about the first girl – and I have seen her since – and the thought of the vocal was about her. "Careless Whisper" was united states of america dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – nosotros are dancing ... but she knows ... and it's finished.[8]

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

Demoing [edit]

The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Society Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's dwelling (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Because most of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned home by that point, Careless Whisper had to exist recorded in one take very quickly. It featured a Medico Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave West), with Michael's vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall cost of the recording was £20 (largely due to the rental price of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Mark Dean on the force of the demos.[13] [xiv]

A more complete and fully realised 2d 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 called over past Dean to sign a contract in addition to the tape bargain, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that mean solar 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 day, the day I finally believed nosotros had number-one material. That same solar day we signed it all away. Only you can never really know what yous are capable of, you can never really have that foresight."[15]

Product [edit]

The song went through at to the lowest degree 2 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 by Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the song himself; the second version was the 1 ultimately released as a unmarried.

After the backing rails and George's song had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to wing in and exercise the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should accept been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! managing director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, later two hours, he was still in that location while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the style George wanted it, the style information technology had been on the demo. Only that had been made two years earlier past a friend of George's who lived round the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[18]

While the saxophonist appeared to be playing the part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, information technology's still not right, you meet..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the role to him still again. "It has to twitch up a lilliputian only there! See...? And not also much."[xviii]

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

I've seen things like this before. In that location's some tiny nuance that the sax actor is somehow not getting right. Although you and I can't hear what it is, it may be the very matter that volition make the record a hit. The success of pop records is and then imperceptible, so unbelievably unpredictable, nosotros merely can't accept the risk of being impatient. But this sax role player's not going to get information technology, is he![18]

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

The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" afterward the Lodge Fantastic Megamix equally early on as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could finish 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 practise annihilation about the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released fabric. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, so it was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[nineteen] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was besides committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, then according to him it would non have fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo unmarried in the heart of the tour, despite it existence part of the setlist.[20]

Michael later went dorsum to London's Sarm West'due south Studio two to re-record the track, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm department in ane 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's product and how it turned out in the end:

"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. And then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and then we completely re-did the track about four weeks before it was due to be released. When we originally fabricated information technology I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the commencement time that I had e'er felt like that nearly anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this example I had to get drunk in social club to sing, I was and so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was good enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it because it just did non sound like me. I said 'it's dandy. Jerry'south done a corking job on it', and for the get-go time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on considering the vocal was already two and a half years one-time and I simply did not have a inkling about where else I could have information technology. Eventually I just idea, 'sod this. I'g going to go in and practice it equally if it had never been done before with the musicians nosotros normally utilize and see what happens.' The track was much better because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much improve chore 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'southward 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 exercise not have much idea what they are going to be recording until they go far, 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 saying, 'it's only going to exist some crappy B side anyway so I'thou off'. Steve waited and and so discovered that the solo wasn't that piece of cake to play in the written key, as his old Selmer Mark VI tenor didn't have a top F♯ key. So, the engineer slowed the tape down and so 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 bit similar an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, but lacking a scrap more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had simply arrived at the studio and said 'that'south the one, that'south the sax solo I want'. This could be downwardly to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or only that George never recognized information technology was 'wrong'.[23]

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, inbound the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within two weeks information technology was at number i, catastrophe a nine-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number i for three weeks, going on to get the fifth best-selling single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold merely past the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Ii Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Simply Called to Say I Love You", and Band Assistance'due south "Exercise They Know Information technology'due south Christmas?". The song besides 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 song was later named Billboard 's number-one song of 1985. The song was #i on the shine radio tiptop 500 songs of all fourth dimension chart – proving its iconic status.

Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the song. He said in 1991 that it "was not an integral function of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you lot tin write a lyric very flippantly—and non a particularly adept lyric—and it can mean then much to so many people. That's disillusioning for a writer."[19]

Music video [edit]

The official music video (which uses the shorter single version instead of the full album version and was directed past Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Earlier You Go-Go") shows the guilt felt by a man (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to observe out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman 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'south Grove Towers.[25] [26]

A get-go 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]

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 then we had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain about ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut information technology and we had to reshoot more scenes."[29]

As the band felt they had "screwed upward" the video, further footage of Michael singing the vocal onstage was later shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[28] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 million views as of 2022.
