"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English vocalist George Michael. It was written past Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[iv] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! anthology Make Information technology Big.

The song 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 world. It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling nigh six million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the U.s..[5]

Background [edit]

Limerick and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant near 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 'Careless Whisper'. I have always written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I think exactly where it get-go came to me, where I came upward with the sax line... I recollect 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 information technology for about three months in my head."[seven]

"When I was twelve, 13, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was ii years older, to an water ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl at that place with long blonde hair whose proper noun was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a large crush on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sister used to become 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 chosen Helen," Michael continued.

Information technology had merely started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in simply around the corner from my school. She had moved in right adjacent to where I used to stand and expect for my next-door neighbor, who used to give me a elevator dwelling house from school. And one twenty-four hour period I saw her walk downward the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years later on and I looked a lot different. And 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 thing – and somewhen I started seeing her. She invited me in one mean solar 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 girl who didn't fifty-fifty see me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.

Then I went out with her for a couple of months merely I didn't stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to beingness a two-timer. And I call back my sisters used to requite me a difficult time because they found out and they really liked the kickoff girl. The whole idea of "Devil-may-care Whisper" was the first girl finding out about the 2nd – which she never did. But I started another relationship with a daughter called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane institute out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, being this two-timer, merely there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty most the starting time girl – and I take seen her since – and the idea of the song was most her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and information technology'due south finished.[8]

Andrew Ridgeley came upwardly 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 flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[nine] [10]

Demoing [edit]

The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in Jan 1982 alongside those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What Yous Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's home (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'due south mother had returned home by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one take very speedily. Information technology featured a Dr. Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played past Dave W), with Michael'south song (recorded with a microphone fastened to a broom handle).[eleven] [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 past Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[thirteen] [fourteen]

A more complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a bankroll band and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in add-on to the record bargain, 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 nosotros signed the contract with Marking [Dean] that day, the mean solar day I finally believed we had number-1 cloth. That same day we signed it all abroad. Just you lot can never really know what yous 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 product. The get-go was during a trip Michael fabricated to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to work with producer Jerry Wexler at Muscle Shoals Audio Studio in 1983.[16] [17] Michael was unhappy with the original version produced past Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the vocal himself; the second version was the 1 ultimately released every bit a single.

After the backing track and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the peak saxophone actor from Los Angeles to wing in and practise the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after 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 way George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. Simply that had been made two years earlier 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 part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's all the same not right, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him nevertheless again. "Information technology has to twitch upward a petty just there! Run across...? And not as well much."[18]

Napier-Bong consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax audio. "Is in that location really something George wants that's dissimilar from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell 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 correct. 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, nosotros only tin can't take the risk of existence impatient. But this sax thespian's not going to become it, is he!"[18]

The version Wexler produced was released later in the yr, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and Japan.

The record characterization Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" afterward the Club Fantastic Megamix every bit early as 1983. Vocal 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 basis that every bit a publisher they "take the correct to grant the offset license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything most the Club Fantastic Megamix because information technology was already released material. He said: "We knew how big that vocal could exist, and then it was necessary to upset a few people to end information technology."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not have made sense to release "Devil-may-care Whisper" as a solo unmarried in the middle of the bout, despite it being part of the setlist.[20]

Michael later went back to London's Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-record the rails, the courage of which was done with a live rhythm section in one take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" as Michael added, although the experience of it was basically alive.[21] [22]

Michael elaborated on the song'southward product 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 then nosotros completely re-did the track about four weeks before it was due to be released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the commencement time that I had ever felt similar that nigh anybody that I'd worked with. Ordinarily I accept trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to become drunk in society to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions near whether the record was good enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it considering it just did not audio similar me. I said 'it's bang-up. Jerry'south washed a swell chore on information technology', and for the first time since nosotros'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already 2 and a half years onetime and I just did not have a clue about where else I could take it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'chiliad going to become in and do it as if information technology had never been done before with the musicians we ordinarily use and run across what happens.' The track was much amend considering I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much better chore than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]

Afterward hiring and firing several other unlike sax players, for which the BBC characterized every bit struggling to play all the notes with "the right amount of fluidity and withal 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 endeavor the riff. Gregory said Michael's secretary had phoned him up midday and asked him to give the solo a try.[25]

"When I got in that location, it was about getting on to midnight, and at that place was another saxophone actor in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are y'all doing here?' And George hadn't showed up. And then Ray was a bit fed up. He said 'Well I'yard going, yous can do it. I've had enough of waiting.' So he left and it was just myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. And then I said I've had quite a long day, I'm going to do a amend job now than I will at 3 o'clock in the morning time, and so can we effort and exercise something? So we went into the control room and George had already recorded information technology 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 idea 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to do it again? I can't play it too as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it'due south a new version, he'south washed his own product, it's a new track, information technology'south got to exist re-washed, he only needs that on the new track,' so I went in the studio I tried to do it and my saxophone is an old Selmer (tenor sax) from about 1954 or something and I didn't have that summit note. I didn't take a proper note on my saxophone, I had what we telephone call a fake fingering I had to practice to play it. Then it didn't really sound that smooth. Information technology didn't sound that corking. And so having been around for a while, having had a flake of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took information technology down by a semitone, a very small amount, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and we could run across how it sounds. So that'south what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it downward a semitone, so I went out once more and I played information technology in a lower key and when after I finished it I went dorsum into the control room and he played information technology dorsum and he put information technology back up to the proper speed, and as he was playing information technology dorsum, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I think we got it!' And so he pointed at me and said, 'You are number 9!'"

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within ii weeks it was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[iv] It stayed at number ane for three weeks, going on to become the fifth acknowledged single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold but past the 2 Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Ii Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Love You lot", and Band Aid'due south "Do They Know It's Christmas?". The vocal 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 3 weeks at the top in America, the vocal was later named Billboard 'due south number-one song of 1985. The song was #i on the polish radio pinnacle 500 songs of all time 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 part of my emotional development ... information technology disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and non a particularly good lyric—and it tin can hateful so much to so many people. That's disillusioning for a author."[19]

Music video [edit]

The official music video (which uses the shorter single version instead of the full anthology version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before 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 find out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George abroad. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[26] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The final office of the video shows Michael leaning out of a acme floor balcony of Miami'south Grove Towers.[27] [28]

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 nighttime-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, but was then re-edited after.[29]

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

Every bit the band felt they had "screwed upwardly" the video, further footage of Michael singing the vocal onstage was later shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[30] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. Information technology has over 852 one thousand thousand views as of 2022.
