"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English vocalizer 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 Information technology 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 earth. It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling about half-dozen million copies worldwide—two meg of them in the United States.[5]
Background [edit]
Limerick and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working every bit a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant virtually Bushey, Hertfordshire.[half dozen] 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 'Careless Whisper'. I accept ever written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where information technology first came to me, where I came upwardly with the sax line... I retrieve I was handing the coin over to the guy on the motorbus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote information technology totally in my head. I worked on it for about three months in my head."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to accept to chaperone my sister, who was 2 years older, to an water ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "At that place was a girl there with long blonde pilus whose proper noun was Jane. I was a fatty boy in spectacles and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand up a chance. My sis 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 after, when I was sixteen, I had my first human relationship with a daughter called Helen," Michael continued.
It had merely started to absurd off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl 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 home from schoolhouse. And one day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I idea – at present where did SHE come up from? She didn't know information technology was me. It was a few years afterwards and I looked a lot different. Then nosotros 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 big buxom affair – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one twenty-four hours when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[viii]
Michael observed that later on he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't even run into 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 beingness smart – I had gone from being a full loser to existence a 2-timer. And I retrieve my sisters used to requite me a hard time because they institute out and they really liked the start daughter. The whole idea of "Devil-may-care Whisper" was the offset daughter finding out about the second – which she never did. Just I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane found out near her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I thought I was being cool, being this ii-timer, only there 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 vocal was about her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because nosotros danced a lot, and the idea was – we 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 altogether.[9] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael'due south firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'south aunt's basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[9] [10]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded past local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Savour What You Practise)" in the front room of Ridgeley'southward home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Because about of the twenty-four hours was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'south female parent had returned habitation by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one take very quickly. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave West), with Michael'south vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall toll of the recording was £twenty (largely due to the rental cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision past Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[13] [14]
A more complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a backing ring and a saxophone riff.[xv] However, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were called 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 day:
"One of the most incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Careless Whisper' demoed properly, with a band, a sax and everything. It was ironic that we signed the contract with Mark [Dean] that day, the day I finally believed nosotros had number-one material. That same day we signed it all away. Merely you can never really know what y'all are capable of, y'all tin can never really have that foresight."[xv]
Product [edit]
The vocal went through at least two rounds of production. The first was during a trip Michael made to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to piece of 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 track and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to wing in and do the solo.[18] "He arrived at 11 and should have been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was still at that place while anybody in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He only couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. But that had been made two years earlier by a friend of George's who lived circular the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[18]
While the saxophonist appeared to exist playing the part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's still not right, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet again. "It has to twitch upwards a little just there! See...? 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-Bell asked.[eighteen] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like 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 it is, it may be the very affair that will make the tape a hit. The success of pop records is and so ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, we just tin't take the run a risk of beingness impatient. But this sax player's not going to go it, is he![eighteen]
The version Wexler produced was released subsequently 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" after the Society Fantastic Megamix as early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not cease the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the ground that every bit 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 most the Club Fantastic Megamix considering it was already released material. He said: "We knew how big that song could exist, and then information technology was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[19] Towards the terminate of 1983, Michael was too committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not have fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" every bit a solo unmarried in the center of the tour, despite information technology existence part of the setlist.[20]
Michael later went dorsum to London's Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-record the rails, the courage of which was washed with a live rhythm section in one 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 information technology turned out in the end:
"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Devil-may-care 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 nosotros originally fabricated information technology I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first time that I had ever felt like that well-nigh anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to go drunk in order to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions nearly whether the record was proficient enough for the song and whether in that location was enough of me in it considering it simply did not sound like me. I said 'information technology'due south great. Jerry'south done a neat job on information technology', and for the first time since we'd started I was bullheaded to what was going on considering the song was already 2 and a one-half years old and I just did not have a clue about where else I could take it. Eventually I just idea, 'sod this. I'm going to become in and do it as if it had never been done before with the musicians we normally use and see what happens.' The track was much better considering I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much better job than the Musculus Shoals department". [22]
Co-ordinate to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a telephone call to re-tape the song's distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone role player to tape the solo, for Michael was determined to get the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do not have much thought what they are going to exist recording until they get in, and this was the case for Steve and another saxophonist who was alee of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
Equally usual there was a lot of waiting effectually and the guy in forepart of Steve threw in the towel maxim, 'it's only going to be some crappy B side anyhow so I'chiliad off'. Steve waited and so discovered that the solo wasn't that like shooting fish in a barrel to play in the written primal, as his sometime Selmer Mark VI tenor didn't have a acme 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 bit similar an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, but lacking a bit more than depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had but 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 'wrong'.[23]
The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the Britain Singles Chart at number 12. Inside two weeks it was at number 1, ending a nine-calendar week run at the height for "Two Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for 3 weeks, going on to become the fifth best-selling unmarried of 1984 in the Britain; outsold only by the 2 Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Only Called to Say I Love You", and Band Aid'southward "Do They Know Information technology's Christmas?". The song as well 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 afterward named Billboard 's number-one song of 1985. The song was #ane on the polish radio tiptop 500 songs of all time nautical chart – proving its iconic condition.
Despite the success, Michael was never addicted of the song. He said in 1991 that information technology "was non an integral part of my emotional development ... information technology disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly good lyric—and it can mean so 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 Upwards Earlier You Get-Go") shows the guilt felt by a man (portrayed past 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. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[24] and features such locales every bit Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balcony of Miami's Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A offset 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, merely was then re-edited subsequently.[27]
Co-ordinate 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 then we had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain about ... Then George decided he didn't like his pilus and then he flew his sister over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
Every bit the ring felt they had "screwed upward" the video, farther 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 channel on 24 October 2009. Information technology has over 834 million views as of 2022.
