"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English singer George Michael. It was written past Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[4] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! album Make It 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 effectually the globe. It reached number ane in near 25 countries, selling about vi million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United States.[v]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant near Bushey, Hertfordshire.[vi] Michael explained in his autobiography, Blank, that he conceptualised "Careless Whisper" based on events from his childhood. Michael wrote, "I was on my manner 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 'Devil-may-care Whisper' I remember exactly where it offset came to me, where I came upwardly with the sax line... I remember 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 caput. I worked on it for most iii months in my head."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was two years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "In that location was a girl there with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in spectacles and I had a big vanquish on her - though I didn't stand up 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 after, when I was sixteen, I had my commencement relationship with a daughter called Helen," Michael continued.
It had just started to cool off a chip 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 await for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift abode from schoolhouse. And one twenty-four hours I saw her walk down 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 and I looked a lot dissimilar. Then we played a school 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 somewhen I started seeing her. She invited me in one twenty-four hours when I was waiting for my elevator and I was ... in heaven.[8]
Michael observed that subsequently he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the daughter who didn't even see me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.
So I went out with her for a couple of months just I didn't stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from beingness a total loser to being a 2-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a hard time because they found out and they really liked the offset girl. The whole thought of "Careless Whisper" was the first daughter finding out most the 2d – which she never did. Just I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a flake complicated. Jane constitute out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, being this ii-timer, simply in that location really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty nearly the commencement girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the thought was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it'southward finished.[8]
Andrew Ridgeley came up with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th birthday.[ix] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt'due south 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 "Gild Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's abode (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Because most of the twenty-four hour period was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'southward mother had returned home by that bespeak, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in i take very quickly. It featured a Medico Rhythm pulsate 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 price of the recording was £20 (largely due to the rental cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a bargain with Innervision by Marking Dean on the strength of the demos.[thirteen] [xiv]
A more complete and fully realised 2nd demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Ring Centre, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[fifteen] Still, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in improver 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 'Devil-may-care Whisper' demoed properly, with a band, a sax and everything. It was ironic that nosotros signed the contract with Marker [Dean] that twenty-four hour period, the day I finally believed we had number-one fabric. That same day we signed it all abroad. But you tin never really know what you are capable of, y'all can never actually take that foresight."[15]
Production [edit]
The song went through at least 2 rounds of product. The get-go 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 2nd version was the one ultimately released as a single.
After the backing rail and George'southward vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[18] "He arrived at xi and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was still there while anybody in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the mode George wanted it, the way information technology had been on the demo. But that had been made two 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 role perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's still not right, you lot come across..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet over again. "Information technology has to twitch upwards a little merely there! See...? And non too much."[18]
Napier-Bong consulted with Wexler over Michael'south dispute with the sax audio. "Is there really something George wants that's different from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
"I've seen things like this before. There's some tiny nuance that the sax histrion is somehow not getting correct. Although you and I tin't hear what it is, it may exist the very matter that will make the record a hit. The success of popular records is so ephemeral, and then unbelievably unpredictable, we simply can't take the risk of existence impatient. But this sax histrion's not going to go it, is he!"[18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the year, as a (4:41) 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 equally early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non stop the release of the Guild Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this unmarried on the basis that equally 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 annihilation virtually the Guild Fantastic Megamix because it was already released cloth. He said: "We knew how large that song could be, so information technology was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[xix] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would non have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the middle of the tour, despite it beingness part of the setlist.[20]
Michael later went back to London'due south Sarm West's Studio ii to re-record the runway, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in one take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] after" as 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 stop:
"Jerry Wexler did 1 recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. And so we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and then nosotros completely re-did the track about iv weeks before it was due to exist released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the start time that I had always felt like that well-nigh anybody that I'd worked with. Ordinarily I have problem disarming myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to get drunk in order to sing, I was and so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions nigh whether the record was good enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it because information technology only did non sound like me. I said 'it's groovy. Jerry's done a peachy chore on it', and for the beginning time since we'd started I was bullheaded to what was going on because the song was already 2 and a half years old and I merely did not accept a inkling about where else I could take it. Eventually I only thought, 'sod this. I'm 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 track was much better 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 different sax players, for which the BBC characterized as struggling to play all the notes with "the correct corporeality of fluidity and even so 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 ninth sax histrion 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 in that location, it was about getting on to midnight, and there was another saxophone role player in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing hither?' And George hadn't showed up. And so Ray was a bit fed up. He said 'Well I'yard going, you can practise it. I've had enough of waiting.' And then he left and it was just myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long day, I'm going to do a meliorate task now than I will at 3 o'clock in the morn, so tin we try and do something? So we went into the command room and George had already recorded it 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 Globe does he want to practise information technology again? I can't play it also as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it'due south a new version, he's washed his own production, information technology's a new runway, it's got to be re-done, he only needs that on the new rail,' and so I went in the studio I tried to do it and my saxophone is an erstwhile Selmer (tenor sax) from about 1954 or something and I didn't have that top note. I didn't have a proper annotation on my saxophone, I had what nosotros call a fake fingering I had to practice to play it. So information technology didn't really sound that smooth. It didn't sound that slap-up. And then having been around for a while, having had a bit of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if yous took it downwards by a semitone, a very small amount, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and we could see how information technology sounds. And then that'south 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 primal and when after I finished it I went back into the command room and he played information technology dorsum and he put it support to the proper speed, and as he was playing it dorsum, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I retrieve nosotros got it!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'You are number 9!'"
The officially released unmarried was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Inside two weeks it was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the superlative for "Two Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number i for three weeks, going on to become the fifth acknowledged single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold only by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Chosen to Say I Love You lot", and Band Help'due south "Do They Know It's Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the The states in February 1985 nether the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the top in America, the vocal was afterward named Billboard 'southward number-one vocal of 1985. The vocal was #1 on the smooth radio top 500 songs of all time 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 particularly practiced lyric—and information technology can mean and then much to so many people. That'due south 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 Up Before You lot Go-Become") shows the guilt felt past 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 away. Information technology 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'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 dark-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, but was so re-edited later.[29]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[xxx] According to Michael's co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene and 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 sis over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]
As the ring felt they had "screwed upward" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was after shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[xxx] The video operation (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. Information technology has over 852 million views as of 2022.
