"Careless Whisper" is a vocal by the English singer George Michael. It was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[4] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! album Arrive Big.

The song 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 one in nearly 25 countries, selling nearly half dozen million copies worldwide—ii 1000000 of them in the U.s..[5]

Background [edit]

Composition and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working equally a DJ in the Bel Air eatery well-nigh Bushey, Hertfordshire.[vi] 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 e'er written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I retrieve exactly where information technology first came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I call up I was handing the coin over to the guy on the passenger vehicle and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on it for about 3 months in my caput."[7]

"When I was twelve, thirteen, 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 fatty boy in glasses and I had a large crush on her - though I didn't stand 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 human relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued.

It had only started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde daughter from Queensway had moved in but effectually the corner from my school. She had moved in correct next to where I used to stand and wait for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a elevator home from school. And 1 day I saw her walk downwardly the path next to me and I idea – at present where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. Information technology was a few years subsequently and I looked a lot different. And so 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 matter – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in i day when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[8]

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

Then 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 beingness a total loser to being a two-timer. And I recollect my sisters used to requite me a difficult fourth dimension because they institute out and they really liked the first girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first daughter finding out almost the 2nd – which she never did. But I started some other relationship with a girl chosen Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a chip complicated. Jane found out well-nigh her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I idea I was being cool, existence this 2-timer, merely there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty nigh the first girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was almost her. "Careless Whisper" was u.s.a. dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... simply she knows ... and it's finished.[viii]

Andrew Ridgeley came upwardly with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th altogether.[9] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael'south house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt's basement apartment in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[ix] [10]

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 Yous Practise)" in the front end room of Ridgeley's home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'due south TEAC 4-runway Portastudio. Because nearly of the twenty-four hours was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's female parent had returned home by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in i take very apace. Information technology featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played past Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave Due west), with Michael's vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[eleven] [12] The overall cost of the recording was £twenty (largely due to the rental toll of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Mark 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 Heart, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[15] Nevertheless, on the aforementioned day, 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:

"One of the near incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Careless Whisper' demoed properly, with a ring, a sax and everything. It was ironic that we signed the contract with Mark [Dean] that day, the solar day I finally believed we had number-one material. That same day we signed it all away. Merely you can never actually know what you are capable of, you can never really take that foresight."[15]

Production [edit]

The song went through at to the lowest degree two rounds of production. The outset was during a trip Michael fabricated to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to work with producer Jerry Wexler at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in 1983.[xvi] [17] Michael was unhappy with the original version produced past Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the song himself; the second version was the 1 ultimately released as a single.

After the backing rail and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to wing in and practise the solo.[18] "He arrived at xi and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! managing director Simon Napier-Bong. "Instead, later two 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. Just that had been fabricated two years earlier by 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'due south all the same non correct, you come across..." and he would lower his caput to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the function to him yet again. "It has to twitch upward a picayune just there! Meet...? And non too much."[18]

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

"I've seen things like this earlier. There'southward some tiny nuance that the sax role player is somehow not getting right. Although y'all and I can't hear what it is, information technology may be the very thing that volition make the record a hit. The success of pop records is so imperceptible, so unbelievably unpredictable, we just can't accept the risk of existence impatient. But this sax player'south non going to get it, is he!"[18]

The version Wexler produced was released afterward in the yr, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the U.k. and Nihon.

The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Society Fantastic Megamix as early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non terminate the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could cease the release of this single on the basis that every bit a publisher they "accept the right to grant the get-go license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to exercise anything nigh the Club Fantastic Megamix because information technology was already released material. He said: "Nosotros knew how big that vocal could exist, so it was necessary to upset a few people to finish it."[nineteen] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was as well committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so co-ordinate to him it would not have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the middle of the tour, despite it being part of the setlist.[20]

Michael afterwards went back to London's Sarm Westward's Studio 2 to re-tape the runway, the backbone of which was done with a alive rhythm department in 1 accept, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" 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 terminate:

"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video 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 information technology was the offset time that I had always felt like that most anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have problem convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to become drunk in social club to sing, I was then nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was good plenty for the vocal and whether at that place was enough of me in it because it only did not sound like me. I said 'it'due south dandy. Jerry'due south washed a great job on it', and for the first time since we'd started I was bullheaded to what was going on because the vocal was already two and a half years erstwhile and I just did not accept a clue about where else I could have information technology. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to get in and practise it as if it had never been done before with the musicians we normally use and see what happens.' The track was much better because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much ameliorate chore than the Muscle 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 corporeality of fluidity and still breathe,"[23] Michael eventually heard what he was looking for from Steve Gregory.[24]

During an interview with DJ Danny Dominicus, Gregory said he was the 9th sax player to endeavour the riff. Gregory said Michael's secretary had phoned him up midday and asked him to give the solo a attempt.[25]

"When I got at that place, it was about getting on to midnight, and in that location was another saxophone actor in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing here?' And George hadn't showed upwards. So Ray was a scrap fed up. He said 'Well I'1000 going, y'all tin can do it. I've had enough of waiting.' So he left and it was just myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long 24-hour interval, I'k going to exercise a ameliorate task now than I volition at 3 o'clock in the morning, so tin we endeavour and do something? So we went into the control 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 idea 'That is fantastic, why on World does he desire to do information technology again? I tin can't play information technology as well every bit that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it's a new version, he's done his own production, it's a new track, it's got to be re-washed, he simply needs that on the new rail,' so I went in the studio I tried to practise it and my saxophone is an former Selmer (tenor sax) from about 1954 or something and I didn't have that top note. I didn't take a proper note on my saxophone, I had what we call a fake fingering I had to do to play it. So it didn't really sound that smooth. It didn't sound that bully. And so having been around for a while, having had a fleck of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took it down past a semitone, a very small amount, I'd accept all the proper notes on my horn and we could meet how information technology sounds. Then that's what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it down a semitone, so I went out once more and I played it in a lower primal and when after I finished it I went back into the control room and he played it back and he put information technology back up to the proper speed, and equally he was playing it dorsum, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I remember we got it!' So he pointed at me and said, 'Yous are number ix!'"

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the summit for "Ii Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] Information technology stayed at number i for three weeks, going on to become the fifth best-selling unmarried of 1984 in the U.k.; outsold but by the ii Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Beloved You", and Band Aid'southward "Do 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 3 weeks at the top in America, the vocal was later on named Billboard 's number-one song of 1985. The song was #1 on the smoothen radio top 500 songs of all fourth dimension chart – proving its iconic status.

Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the song. He said in 1991 that it "was non an integral part of my emotional development ... information technology disappoints me that you lot tin write a lyric very flippantly—and non a specially expert lyric—and it can mean so much to and then many people. That's disillusioning for a writer."[nineteen]

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 Upwards Earlier You Go-Go") shows the guilt felt by a man (portrayed by Michael) over an matter, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to find out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the adult female 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 Isle. The final role of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balcony 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 as a cameo, handing over a letter of the alphabet to a dark-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, merely was so re-edited later.[29]

Co-ordinate to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[30] According to Michael's co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so we had to reshoot information technology, which I didn't complain about ... Then George decided he didn't like his pilus and then he flew his sister over from England to cutting it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]

As the ring felt they had "screwed upwardly" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was later shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[30] The video functioning (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 million views every bit of 2022.
