"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English singer 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 It Big.
The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its first release. It was released as a single and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number 1 in nearly 25 countries, selling about half dozen million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United states.[five]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working every bit a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant near Bushey, Hertfordshire.[six] Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, that he conceptualised "Devil-may-care 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 have 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 upward with the sax line... I think I was handing the coin over to the guy on the passenger vehicle and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote information technology totally in my head. I worked on it for about iii months in my caput."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was 2 years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "At that place was a daughter in that location with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a large beat out on her - though I didn't stand a gamble. My sis 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."[eight]
"A few years later, when I was xvi, I had my starting time relationship with a daughter called Helen," Michael continued.
It had just started to cool 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 adjacent-door neighbor, who used to give me a lift home from school. And 1 day I saw her walk downwards the path adjacent to me and I thought – at present where did SHE come up from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years later and I looked a lot different. Then we played a school disco with The Executive and she saw me singing and decided she fancied me. By this fourth dimension she was that much older and a big buxom thing – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in 1 solar 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 girl who didn't even encounter me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.
So I went out with her for a couple of months but I didn't cease seeing Helen. I idea 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 because they establish out and they really liked the get-go girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first daughter finding out about the second – which she never did. But I started another human relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a scrap complicated. Jane plant out about her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I idea I was beingness cool, being this two-timer, simply at that place really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did experience guilty near the first girl – and I take seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, considering we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it's finished.[8]
Andrew Ridgeley came upwards 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'southward house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt'due south basement apartment in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[ix] [x]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What Y'all Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's abode (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'south TEAC iv-track Portastudio. Considering nearly of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'south female parent had returned home past that indicate, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one accept very quickly. Information technology featured a Dr. Rhythm pulsate machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave West), with Michael's song (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[eleven] [12] The overall cost of the recording was £20 (largely due to the rental toll of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Marker Dean on the strength of the demos.[thirteen] [14]
A more consummate and fully realised 2d demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a backing ring and a saxophone riff.[15] Nevertheless, on the same 24-hour interval, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in addition to the record bargain, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that day:
"One of the about 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 we had number-1 textile. That same day we signed it all away. But you can never actually know what yous are capable of, you tin never really have that foresight."[15]
Production [edit]
The song went through at least ii 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 Audio Studio in 1983.[xvi] [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.
Later on the bankroll track and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the peak saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and exercise the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, later two hours, he was notwithstanding there while anybody 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's who lived round the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[eighteen]
While the saxophonist appeared to be playing the function perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's still non 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 up a little just in that location! Come across...? And non too much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'south dispute with the sax sound. "Is there really something George wants that's different from what the sax thespian is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
"I've seen things like this earlier. There's some tiny nuance that the sax actor is somehow not getting right. Although yous and I can't hear what information technology is, it may exist the very affair that will make the tape a hit. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, then unbelievably unpredictable, we just can't take the risk of existence impatient. But this sax player's non going to get it, 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 UK and Japan.
The record characterization Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix every bit early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non stop the release of the Society Fantastic Megamix, he could cease the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "have the correct to grant the first license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything virtually the Social club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released material. He said: "We knew how large that vocal could be, and then it was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him information technology would non take fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" equally a solo single in the middle of the tour, despite information technology beingness part of the setlist.[20]
Michael later went back to London'south Sarm Westward's Studio two to re-tape the track, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in one accept, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" as Michael added, although the experience of information technology was basically live.[21] [22]
Michael elaborated on the song'south production and how it turned out in the end:
"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Devil-may-care Whisper" with me. 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 made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first fourth dimension that I had ever felt like that well-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 get drunk in order to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the tape was good enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it considering it just did not audio like me. I said 'it's great. Jerry's done a great task on it', and for the starting time time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already two and a half years old and I merely did not have a clue near where else I could have information technology. Somewhen I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and do it as if it had never been done earlier with the musicians we normally use and run across what happens.' The track was much better because I was relaxed and I recall that our musicians did a much better job than the Musculus Shoals section". [22]
After hiring and firing several other different sax players, for which the BBC characterized as struggling to play all the notes with "the right amount of fluidity and still breathe,"[23] Michael eventually heard what he was looking for from Steve Gregory.[24]
During an interview with DJ Danny Lord's day, Gregory said he was the 9th sax player to try 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 there, information technology was almost getting on to midnight, and there was another saxophone player in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing here?' And George hadn't showed up. Then Ray was a bit fed upwards. He said 'Well I'grand going, you can practice it. I've had plenty of waiting.' And then he left and it was merely myself, and (tape producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long day, I'k going to do a better job now than I will at 3 o'clock in the morning, so can we try and do something? So nosotros 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 thought 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he desire to exercise it again? I can't play it as well as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it'due south a new version, he's done his own product, it's a new track, it'south got to be re-done, he just needs that on the new track,' then I went in the studio I tried to exercise it and my saxophone is an old Selmer (tenor sax) from almost 1954 or something and I didn't have that superlative notation. I didn't accept a proper notation on my saxophone, I had what nosotros phone call a imitation fingering I had to do to play it. And then it didn't really audio that shine. Information technology didn't sound that great. And so having been effectually for a while, having had a bit of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took it down by a semitone, a very small corporeality, I'd accept all the proper notes on my horn and we could run across how it sounds. So that's what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it down a semitone, and then I went out again and I played it in a lower key and when after I finished it I went back into the control room and he played it back and he put it back upwards to the proper speed, and as he was playing it dorsum, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I think nosotros got it!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'You are number 9!'"
The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within ii weeks information technology was at number i, ending a nine-week run at the top for "Ii Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number 1 for three weeks, going on to become the fifth best-selling single of 1984 in the Great britain; outsold only past the 2 Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Love Yous", and Band Aid's "Exercise 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 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the acme in America, the song was afterward named Billboard 'south number-one song of 1985. The song was #one on the polish radio meridian 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 information technology "was not an integral part of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a specially good lyric—and information technology can mean so much to and then 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 by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Upwardly Earlier You lot Go-Go") shows the guilt felt past a man (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to discover out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George away. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[26] and features such locales as 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.[27] [28]
A outset original version of the video was edited with the Jerry Wexler 1983 version, and featured Andrew equally a cameo, handing over a letter to a dark-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, but was and so re-edited later.[29]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[30] Co-ordinate to Michael'southward co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene and then we had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain nearly ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair then he flew his sister over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]
Every bit the band felt they had "screwed up" the video, farther footage of Michael singing the song onstage was later shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[thirty] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube aqueduct on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 1000000 views as of 2022.
