"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English singer George Michael. Information technology was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[iv] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! album Get in 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 globe. It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling about 6 million copies worldwide—two million of them in the U.s.a..[five]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working equally a DJ in the Bel Air eatery most Bushey, Hertfordshire.[6] Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, that he conceptualised "Careless Whisper" based on events from his babyhood. 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 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where information technology get-go came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I remember I was handing the money 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 head."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to take to chaperone my sister, who was ii years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "At that place 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 run a risk. My sister used to go and practice 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 girl chosen 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 schoolhouse. She had moved in correct next to where I used to stand and expect for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a elevator abode from school. And one day 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 afterwards 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. Past this fourth dimension she was that much older and a big buxom thing – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in ane twenty-four hours when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[8]
Michael observed that afterward he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't fifty-fifty run across 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 finish seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a 2-timer. And I think my sisters used to give me a hard time because they found out and they really liked the get-go girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out almost the second – which she never did. But I started another relationship with a daughter called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane found out near her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, existence this two-timer, simply there actually wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the first girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the vocal was virtually her. "Devil-may-care Whisper" was u.s. dancing, because nosotros danced a lot, and the thought was – nosotros 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.[9] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's business firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt's basement apartment in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[nine] [10]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Guild Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Bask What You lot Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'south TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Because most of the mean solar day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'due south mother had returned domicile past that signal, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in ane take very chop-chop. It featured a Dr. Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played past Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played past Dave West), with Michael'south vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall cost of the recording was £20 (largely due to the rental cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Mark Dean on the force of the demos.[xiii] [14]
A more complete and fully realised 2nd demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[15] Withal, 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 mean solar day:
"One of the most 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 solar day, the day I finally believed we had number-ane textile. That same day nosotros signed it all away. But y'all can never actually know what you lot are capable of, y'all can never really have that foresight."[15]
Production [edit]
The song went through at least ii rounds of production. 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-tape and produce the song himself; the 2d version was the 1 ultimately released as a single.
Afterwards the backing track and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the peak saxophone histrion from Los Angeles to fly in and exercise the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was yet there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He but couldn't play the opening riff the manner George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. Simply that had been made two years before past a friend of George's who lived circular the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[xviii]
While the saxophonist appeared to exist playing the part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, information technology's still not correct, you encounter..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet again. "It has to twitch upwards a little just at that place! See...? And not too much."[eighteen]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is there really something George wants that's different from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bong asked.[eighteen] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things similar this before. In that location'due south some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow not getting right. Although you and I can't hear what it is, it may be the very affair that volition make the tape a hit. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, we just can't take the risk of being impatient. But this sax role player's not going to get it, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the yr, as a (iv: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 "Devil-may-care Whisper" subsequently the Guild Fantastic Megamix every bit early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could terminate the release of this single on the ground that as a publisher they "take 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 about the Club Fantastic Megamix because information technology was already released material. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, and so it was necessary to upset a few people to cease it."[nineteen] Towards the stop of 1983, Michael was as well committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so co-ordinate to him information technology would non have fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the middle of the tour, despite it being part of the setlist.[20]
Michael later went back to London'southward Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-record the track, the courage of which was washed with a live rhythm section in ane 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 vocal's production and how it turned out in the stop:
"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and and then we completely re-did the track about four weeks earlier it was due to exist released. When we originally fabricated it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the beginning fourth dimension that I had ever felt like 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 become drunk in order to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was good enough for the vocal and whether there was enough of me in it because it just did non audio similar me. I said 'it'south great. Jerry's washed a bang-up task on information technology', and for the outset time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already two and a one-half years erstwhile and I but did non take a clue near where else I could have it. Eventually I only thought, 'sod this. I'm going to become in and practice information technology as if it had never been done before with the musicians we unremarkably use and see what happens.' The rail was much better because I was relaxed and I recollect that our musicians did a much improve job than the Muscle Shoals department". [22]
According to English language jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a call to re-record the vocal'due south distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone histrion to record the solo, for Michael was determined to get the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians exercise not accept much idea what they are going to be recording until they arrive, and this was the instance for Steve and another saxophonist who was alee of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
Equally usual there was a lot of waiting effectually and the guy in front end of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'information technology'south simply going to be some crappy B side anyway and then I'm off'. Steve waited and and then discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written key, every bit his old Selmer Mark VI tenor didn't have a top F♯ key. And so, the engineer slowed the tape down so that Steve could record the solo a semitone lower than intended. Once the record was put back to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone sound was created that sounded a bit similar an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, but lacking a bit more depth and darkness to the audio. George Michael had just arrived at the studio and said 'that's the one, that's the sax solo I want'. This could be downward to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or just that George never recognized information technology was 'incorrect'.[23]
The officially released single was issued in August 1984, inbound the U.k. Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within 2 weeks it was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for iii weeks, going on to get the fifth all-time-selling 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 Merely Chosen to Say I Love You", and Ring Aid'due south "Practise They Know Information technology'south Christmas?". The vocal besides topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in February 1985 nether the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the elevation in America, the song was later on named Billboard 'due south number-one song of 1985. The vocal was #1 on the smooth radio peak 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 it "was not an integral role of my emotional evolution ... information technology disappoints me that you tin write a lyric very flippantly—and not a specially good lyric—and it can mean and then 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 album version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before You Become-Become") shows the guilt felt by a man (portrayed by Michael) over an matter, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to discover out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George away. Information technology was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in Feb 1984[24] and features such locales as Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Island. The final office of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balcony of Miami's Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A commencement 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 than detailed storyline, but was so re-edited later on.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] According to Michael's co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so we had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain nigh ... So George decided he didn't like his hair and so he flew his sister over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
As the band felt they had "screwed up" 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 every bit of 2022.
