"Careless Whisper" is a vocal past 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! album Make It Large.
The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its first release. Information technology was released every bit a single and became a huge commercial success effectually the world. It reached number one in well-nigh 25 countries, selling about 6 meg copies worldwide—2 one thousand thousand of them in the United States.[5]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant most 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 'Devil-may-care Whisper' I remember exactly where it get-go came to me, where I came upwards with the sax line... I call up I was handing the money over to the guy on the double-decker and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on information technology for almost three months in my head."[vii]
"When I was twelve, 13, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was ii years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl there with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in spectacles and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand a take a chance. 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 daughter Jane."[8]
"A few years later, when I was sixteen, I had my first relationship with a daughter called Helen," Michael continued.
Information technology had just started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in simply effectually the corner from my school. She had moved in right adjacent to where I used to stand and await for my adjacent-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift domicile 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 information technology was me. It was a few years later and I looked a lot unlike. And then we 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 hour period when I was waiting for my elevator and I was ... in heaven.[eight]
Michael observed that later on he stopped wearing spectacles, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't fifty-fifty 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 stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a two-timer. And I remember my sisters used to requite me a hard time considering they found out and they really liked the first girl. The whole thought of "Careless Whisper" was the starting time girl finding out nearly the 2nd – which she never did. But I started another human relationship with a daughter called Alexis without finishing the ane with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane found out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I idea I was existence absurd, being this ii-timer, merely in that location really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty virtually the kickoff girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was nearly her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because we 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 connected to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael'southward house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt'south basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[ix] [ten]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded past local music producer Paul Mex, in Jan 1982 alongside those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Relish What You Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley'southward domicile (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Considering most of the twenty-four hours was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned home by that betoken, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in 1 take very quickly. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum motorcar, 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).[eleven] [12] The overall cost of the recording was £xx (largely due to the rental cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a bargain with Innervision by Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[13] [14]
A more complete and fully realised 2nd demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Heart, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[fifteen] Still, on the same 24-hour interval, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in addition to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that day:
"Ane of the virtually 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 Marking [Dean] that day, the twenty-four hours I finally believed we had number-one material. That same day we signed it all away. Only yous tin never actually know what you are capable of, y'all can never actually take that foresight."[15]
Production [edit]
The song went through at least two rounds of product. 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.[sixteen] [17] Michael was unhappy with the original version produced by Wexler, and decided to re-tape and produce the song himself; the second version was the one ultimately released as a single.
After the bankroll track and George'due south vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, afterward two hours, he was still at that place while anybody in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He merely couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted information technology, the way information technology had been on the demo. But that had been fabricated 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 part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, information technology'south all the same not right, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the function to him yet again. "It has to twitch upwards a little just there! See...? And not too much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is there really something George wants that'southward unlike from what the sax role player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "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 yous and I can't hear what it is, it may be the very thing that will make the record a hit. The success of pop records is so imperceptible, so unbelievably unpredictable, we simply tin can't accept the risk of being impatient. Simply this sax player'southward non going to go information technology, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released subsequently in the yr, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the Great britain and Japan.
The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" later on the Gild Fantastic Megamix equally early on as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could cease the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "have the right to grant the start license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to exercise anything almost the Club Fantastic Megamix considering it was already released material. He said: "Nosotros knew how big that song could be, then information technology was necessary to upset a few people to stop information technology."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was too committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would non accept fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" equally a solo unmarried in the eye of the tour, despite information technology existence part of the setlist.[twenty]
Michael after went dorsum to London'southward Sarm Westward's Studio two to re-tape the rails, the backbone of which was done with a alive rhythm section in one accept, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" as Michael added, although the feel of information technology was basically alive.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the vocal's product and how it turned out in the end:
"Jerry Wexler did ane recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then nosotros re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and so we completely re-did the rails about four weeks before it was due to be released. When nosotros originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the kickoff time that I had ever felt similar that about 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 get drunk in order to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions almost whether the record was good enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it because it just did not audio like me. I said 'it's not bad. Jerry'due south washed a dandy job on it', and for the first time since we'd started I was bullheaded to what was going on because the song was already two and a one-half years old and I just did non have a inkling most where else I could take information technology. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'one thousand going to go in and exercise information technology as if it had never been done before with the musicians we commonly use and see what happens.' The track was much improve considering I was relaxed and I call back that our musicians did a much amend job than the Musculus Shoals section". [22]
According to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a call to re-record the song's distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone actor to record the solo, for Michael was adamant to go the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do not have much idea what they are going to be recording until they make it, and this was the case for Steve and another saxophonist who was ahead of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
As usual there was a lot of waiting around and the guy in forepart of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'it'due south merely going to be some crappy B side anyway and so I'm off'. Steve waited and then discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written key, as his quondam Selmer Mark Six tenor didn't take a top F♯ primal. Then, the engineer slowed the tape downward so that Steve could tape the solo a semitone lower than intended. One time the tape was put back to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone sound was created that sounded a bit like an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, but lacking a fleck more depth and darkness to the audio. George Michael had just arrived at the studio and said 'that'due south the ane, that's the sax solo I desire'. This could be down to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or just that George never recognized it was 'wrong'.[23]
The officially released unmarried was issued in Baronial 1984, inbound the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within 2 weeks it was at number 1, ending a ix-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[iv] It stayed at number one for iii weeks, going on to become the 5th acknowledged single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold only past the 2 Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Simply Called to Say I Dear You", and Band Aid's "Do They Know Information technology's Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the The states in Feb 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the top in America, the song was later named Billboard 'due south number-one song of 1985. The vocal was #i on the shine radio top 500 songs of all time nautical chart – proving its iconic condition.
Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the song. He said in 1991 that information technology "was non an integral part of my emotional evolution ... information technology disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and non a particularly good lyric—and information technology can hateful so much to then many people. That'due south disillusioning for a author."[19]
Music video [edit]
The official music video (which uses the shorter single version instead of the total 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 away. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[24] and features such locales equally Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Island. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a summit floor balcony of Miami's Grove Towers.[25] [26]
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 and so re-edited later.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] According to Michael'southward co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so we had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain about ... And then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut it and nosotros had to reshoot more than scenes."[29]
Equally the band felt they had "screwed upward" the video, further 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 aqueduct on 24 October 2009. It has over 834 million views as of 2022.
