"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English singer George Michael. Information technology was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[4] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! album Make Information technology Big.
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 around the globe. It reached number one in virtually 25 countries, selling almost half-dozen million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United states.[5]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working every bit a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant near Bushey, Hertfordshire.[6] 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 'Careless Whisper'. I take always written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Devil-may-care Whisper' I recollect exactly where it first came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I remember I was handing the money over to the guy on the jitney and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on it for about three months in my head."[vii]
"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. "In that location was a girl at that place with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a large beat on her - though I didn't stand up a chance. My sister used to get and do what she wanted when we got to the skating rink and I would spend the afternoon swooning over this girl Jane."[eight]
"A few years later, when I was sixteen, I had my first human relationship with a girl chosen Helen," Michael continued.
It had merely started to cool off a bit 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 requite me a lift home from schoolhouse. And one day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come up from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years after 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 time she was that much older and a big buxom matter – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one day when I was waiting for my elevator and I was ... in sky.[8]
Michael observed that subsequently he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't fifty-fifty run into me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.
And then 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 full loser to being a 2-timer. And I recall my sisters used to give me a hard fourth dimension because they institute out and they really liked the beginning girl. The whole thought of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out nearly the second – which she never did. But I started another human relationship with a girl chosen Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane found out about her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I thought I was being cool, being this two-timer, merely there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the first girl – and I take seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because nosotros 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.[9] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's business firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'south aunt's basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[9] [10]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Lodge Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Savor What Y'all 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 day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned dwelling house by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one take very quickly. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum automobile, an acoustic guitar (played past 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 cost of the recording was £xx (largely due to the rental cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Marking Dean on the forcefulness of the demos.[13] [14]
A more consummate and fully realised 2d demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Ring Eye, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the same day, 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 twenty-four hours:
"One of the nigh incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Careless Whisper' demoed properly, with a ring, a sax and everything. Information technology was ironic that we signed the contract with Marking [Dean] that day, the day I finally believed we had number-one fabric. That same day we signed it all abroad. Only you can never really know what you are capable of, yous tin never really have that foresight."[15]
Production [edit]
The song went through at least two rounds of production. The first was during a trip Michael made to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to piece of work with producer Jerry Wexler at Musculus 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 second version was the one ultimately released as a unmarried.
After the backing runway and George's song had been recorded, Wexler had booked the summit saxophone player from Los Angeles to wing in and do 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 still there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the fashion George wanted it, the mode it had been on the demo. Simply that had been fabricated two years earlier by a friend of George'southward who lived circular the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[18]
While the saxophonist appeared to exist playing the office perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it'southward still not right, you lot run into..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet again. "It has to twitch up a little just in that location! See...? And not likewise much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'south dispute with the sax sound. "Is at that place really something George wants that'southward different from what the sax actor is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[eighteen] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like this earlier. There's some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow non getting right. Although you and I can't hear what it is, it may exist the very thing that will make the tape a hit. The success of popular records is so imperceptible, and so unbelievably unpredictable, we just tin can't take the take chances of being impatient. Only this sax histrion's not going to get it, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the twelvemonth, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and Japan.
The tape label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix equally early as 1983. Vocal publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Social club Fantastic Megamix, he could cease the release of this unmarried on the footing that equally a publisher they "have the right to grant the commencement license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to exercise anything well-nigh the Club Fantastic Megamix considering it was already released material. He said: "Nosotros knew how big that song could be, and so it was necessary to upset a few people to stop 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 unmarried in the middle of the tour, despite it being part of the setlist.[20]
Michael afterwards went back to London's Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-record the rails, the courage of which was washed with a live rhythm department in one take, 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 information technology turned out in the finish:
"Jerry Wexler did ane recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. So we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and and so we completely re-did the track nigh four weeks before information technology was due to be released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and information technology was the first time that I had ever felt like that about anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have trouble disarming myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to go drunk in social club to sing, I was and so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the tape was skillful plenty for the song and whether there was enough of me in it considering it but did non audio like me. I said 'it'due south great. Jerry's done a keen job on it', and for the first time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already two and a one-half years one-time and I but did not have a clue almost where else I could take it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and exercise it as if information technology had never been done before with the musicians we normally employ and see what happens.' The track was much better because I was relaxed and I recall that our musicians did a much better job than the Musculus Shoals section". [22]
According to English language jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a call to re-record the song'southward distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone role player to record the solo, for Michael was determined to get the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians practice not have much idea what they are going to exist recording until they go far, and this was the example for Steve and another saxophonist who was alee of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
As usual at that place was a lot of waiting around and the guy in forepart of Steve threw in the towel maxim, 'information technology's only going to be some crappy B side anyway and then I'm off'. Steve waited and then discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written cardinal, as his old Selmer Marker VI tenor didn't accept a top F♯ fundamental. So, the engineer slowed the record downwards so that Steve could record the solo a semitone lower than intended. In one case 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, simply lacking a scrap more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had just arrived at the studio and said 'that'southward the one, that's the sax solo I desire'. This could be down to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or only that George never recognized it was 'incorrect'.[23]
The officially released single was issued in August 1984, inbound the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Inside 2 weeks information technology was at number one, ending a ix-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number ane for three weeks, going on to get the 5th all-time-selling single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold just by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Love Y'all", and Ring Help's "Exercise They Know It's Christmas?". The vocal also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.s.a. in Feb 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the elevation in America, the song was after named Billboard 's number-ane song of 1985. The vocal was #1 on the smooth radio top 500 songs of all time nautical chart – proving its iconic condition.
Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the vocal. He said in 1991 that it "was not an integral part of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that yous can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly good lyric—and information technology tin can mean then much to so many people. That's disillusioning for a author."[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 Upward Before You Become-Go") shows the guilt felt past a human being (portrayed past Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to find out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the adult female who lures George abroad. Information technology was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[24] and features such locales equally Coconut Grove and Watson Isle. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a pinnacle floor balustrade of Miami'south Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A outset 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 nighttime-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, simply was then re-edited later.[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 mutter about ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair then he flew his sister over from England to cut information technology 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 afterward shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[28] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 Oct 2009. Information technology has over 834 million views as of 2022.
