"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English language singer George Michael. Information technology 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 first release. It was released equally a single and became a huge commercial success around the world. Information technology reached number one in virtually 25 countries, selling well-nigh half dozen million copies worldwide—2 meg of them in the United States.[5]

Background [edit]

Composition and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working equally a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant well-nigh 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 '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 up with the sax line... I think I was handing the coin 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 about three months in my caput."[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 daughter there with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fatty boy in glasses and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sister used to go and do what she wanted when nosotros got to the skating rink and I would spend the afternoon swooning over this girl Jane."[8]

"A few years later on, when I was sixteen, I had my showtime relationship with a girl chosen Helen," Michael continued.

It had only started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde daughter 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 neighbour, who used to give me a lift home 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 unlike. 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 large buxom thing – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one day when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[viii]

Michael observed that after he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the daughter who didn't even meet me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.

Then I went out with her for a couple of months just I didn't finish seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a two-timer. And I think my sisters used to give me a hard fourth dimension considering they found out and they really liked the first girl. The whole thought of "Careless Whisper" was the first daughter finding out about the 2nd – which she never did. Merely I started another relationship with a girl chosen 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, but at that place really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty nigh the first girl – and I accept seen her since – and the idea of the vocal was about her. "Careless Whisper" was usa 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 birthday.[ix] They continued to piece of work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt's basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[9] [x]

Demoing [edit]

The original demo was recorded past local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Guild Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What Yous Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's domicile (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'due south TEAC iv-track Portastudio. Because most of the twenty-four hour period was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned dwelling by that point, Devil-may-care Whisper had to exist recorded in ane take very quickly. It featured a Doctor 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 toll of the recording was £20 (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 2d demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Ring Centre, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[xv] However, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were chosen over past Dean to sign a contract in addition to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that twenty-four hour period:

"One of the near incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Devil-may-care 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 cloth. That aforementioned day we signed it all away. But you can never actually know what y'all are capable of, you can never actually have that foresight."[15]

Production [edit]

The song went through at to the lowest degree 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 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 2d version was the one ultimately released as a unmarried.

After the backing track and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the peak saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[xviii] "He arrived at xi and should take been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bong. "Instead, after ii hours, he was still there 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. Only that had been made ii years earlier by a friend of George's who lived round 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'due south all the same not correct, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him however once more. "It has to twitch upwardly a trivial just there! See...? And non besides much."[xviii]

Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'due south dispute with the sax sound. "Is there really something George wants that'south different from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.

"I've seen things like this earlier. In that location'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 exist the very thing that volition brand the record a hitting. The success of popular records is then imperceptible, so unbelievably unpredictable, nosotros just tin can't accept the take chances of being impatient. Just this sax player's not going to get it, is he!"[xviii]

The version Wexler produced was released later in the twelvemonth, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the Britain and Japan.

The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" afterwards the Gild Fantastic Megamix as early on 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 footing that equally a publisher they "take the right to grant the beginning license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything about the Society Fantastic Megamix because it was already released cloth. He said: "We knew how large that song could be, so it was necessary to upset a few people to terminate information technology."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was besides committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him information technology would not take made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo unmarried in the middle of the tour, despite it existence part of the setlist.[xx]

Michael later went back to London's Sarm W's Studio ii to re-record the runway, the courage of which was done with a live rhythm section in one have, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later on" as Michael added, although the feel of it was basically live.[21] [22]

Michael elaborated on the vocal'due south production and how it turned out in the end:

"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. So nosotros re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and then we completely re-did the rail well-nigh 4 weeks before it was due to be released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and information technology was the first fourth dimension that I had ever felt like that nearly anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this instance I had to get boozer in guild to sing, I was so nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions well-nigh whether the record was expert enough for the song and whether in that location was plenty of me in it because it simply did non sound like me. I said 'it's swell. Jerry's done a great job on it', and for the commencement time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the vocal was already two and a half years old and I simply did not have a clue about where else I could take it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and do information technology every bit if it had never been washed before with the musicians nosotros usually use and see what happens.' The track was much better because I was relaxed and I recollect that our musicians did a much better job 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 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 Sun, Gregory said he was the 9th sax player to attempt the riff. Gregory said Michael's secretarial assistant had phoned him upward midday and asked him to give the solo a try.[25]

"When I got there, it was nearly getting on to midnight, and there was some other saxophone histrion in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing here?' And George hadn't showed upward. And so Ray was a bit fed up. He said 'Well I'm going, you can do it. I've had enough of waiting.' So he left and it was only myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long day, I'yard going to exercise a better chore now than I volition at 3 o'clock in the morning, so can nosotros try and do 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 practise and he played this and I thought 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to exercise it again? I can't play information technology as well as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it's a new version, he's washed his own production, it'southward a new track, it's got to be re-done, he just needs that on the new rails,' so I went in the studio I tried to practice it and my saxophone is an sometime Selmer (tenor sax) from about 1954 or something and I didn't have that meridian note. I didn't have a proper notation on my saxophone, I had what we call a faux fingering I had to do to play it. So information technology didn't really sound that smooth. It didn't sound that swell. And then having been effectually for a while, having had a bit of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took it downwardly by a semitone, a very modest corporeality, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and we could see how it sounds. Then that'due south what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took information technology downwardly a semitone, so I went out over again and I played it in a lower key and when later on I finished it I went dorsum into the control room and he played information technology back and he put information technology back up to the proper speed, and as he was playing it back, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I recall nosotros got it!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'Y'all are number 9!'"

The officially released unmarried was issued in August 1984, inbound the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Inside 2 weeks it was at number ane, ending a ix-week run at the top for "2 Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] Information technology stayed at number one for iii weeks, going on to become the 5th best-selling unmarried of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold only by the ii Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Simply Called to Say I Love You", and Ring Help's "Exercise They Know It's Christmas?". The song likewise 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 iii weeks at the top in America, the vocal was later named Billboard 'due south number-one song of 1985. The song was #one on the smooth radio tiptop 500 songs of all time chart – proving its iconic condition.

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 non 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 total anthology version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Get") shows the guilt felt by a homo (portrayed by Michael) over an matter, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to observe out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George away. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in Feb 1984[26] and features such locales equally Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The concluding role of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top flooring balustrade of Miami's Grove Towers.[27] [28]

A first 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 so re-edited later.[29]

According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[30] According to Michael'southward co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so nosotros had to reshoot information technology, which I didn't complain almost ... So George decided he didn't like his pilus so he flew his sister over from England to cut information technology and nosotros had to reshoot more than scenes."[31]

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