"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English singer George Michael. It was written past Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[4] 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 outset release. Information technology was released as a unmarried and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number ane in nearly 25 countries, selling well-nigh 6 million copies worldwide—2 meg of them in the The states.[5]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant most Bushey, Hertfordshire.[half dozen] 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 accept always written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Devil-may-care Whisper' I call back exactly where it beginning came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I remember I was handing the money over to the guy on the motorcoach 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."[vii]
"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 girl at that place with long blonde pilus whose proper name was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a large crush on her - though I didn't stand a take a chance. My sister used to get 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 afterward, when I was sixteen, I had my first relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael connected.
Information technology 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 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 lift home from school. And one twenty-four hours I saw her walk downwards the path next to me and I idea – now where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. Information technology was a few years later 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 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.[8]
Michael observed that after he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the daughter who didn't even see me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.
So I went out with her for a couple of months just I didn't stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from beingness a total loser to being a ii-timer. And I recall my sisters used to give me a hard time because they found out and they actually liked the commencement daughter. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first daughter finding out near the second – which she never did. But I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane establish out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, being this two-timer, but in that location really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the first girl – and I accept seen her since – and the thought of the song was most her. "Careless Whisper" was united states dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it's finished.[viii]
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'south house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward 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 aslope those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Savor What Y'all Practise)" in the forepart room of Ridgeley'south home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC iv-rails Portastudio. Because well-nigh of the mean solar day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'southward mother had returned home past that point, Careless Whisper had to exist recorded in ane take very rapidly. It featured a Physician Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave W), with Michael's vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[xi] [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 strength of the demos.[thirteen] [14]
A more complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were chosen 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:
"1 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 nosotros signed the contract with Mark [Dean] that twenty-four hour period, the mean solar day I finally believed we had number-one material. That same day nosotros signed it all away. But y'all can never really know what you are capable of, you can never really have that foresight."[15]
Product [edit]
The vocal went through at to the lowest degree two rounds of product. The first 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.[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 one ultimately released equally a single.
After the backing track and George's song had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone thespian from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[xviii] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bong. "Instead, after two hours, he was still at that place while anybody 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. But that had been made two years earlier by a friend of George'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'south notwithstanding not right, you encounter..." and he would lower his caput to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet over again. "It has to twitch upwardly a niggling simply at that place! See...? And not too much."[eighteen]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'south dispute with the sax audio. "Is there really something George wants that's different from what the sax role player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[xviii] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like this before. There's some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow not getting correct. Although you 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 and then ephemeral, and then unbelievably unpredictable, nosotros just can't take the risk of being impatient. Simply this sax player's non going to get information technology, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the year, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the Uk and Japan.
The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" later the Club Fantastic Megamix as early on as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "accept 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 Social club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released material. He said: "We knew how large that vocal could exist, and then it was necessary to upset a few people to terminate it."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, and then co-ordinate to him it would not take made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo unmarried in the middle of the bout, despite information technology beingness office of the setlist.[20]
Michael later went back to London'southward Sarm Due west's Studio 2 to re-record the track, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in one have, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] afterward" as Michael added, although the feel of information technology was basically live.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the song'south production and how information technology turned out in the finish:
"Jerry Wexler did 1 recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and and then nosotros completely re-did the runway virtually four weeks earlier it was due to be released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first time 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 go drunk in order to sing, I was 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 information technology considering information technology just did non sound like me. I said 'information technology'due south bang-up. Jerry'south done a peachy task on it', and for the outset time since nosotros'd started I was bullheaded to what was going on because the song was already 2 and a one-half years old and I just did not have a clue nigh where else I could take it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'thou going to go in and exercise information technology every bit if it had never been done earlier 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 meliorate job than the Musculus Shoals section". [22]
Co-ordinate to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a call to re-tape the song'due south distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone player to record the solo, for Michael was determined to get the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do not accept much idea what they are going to be recording until they go far, and this was the case for Steve and another saxophonist who was ahead of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
Equally usual there was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'information technology's only going to be some crappy B side anyway so I'm off'. Steve waited and so discovered that the solo wasn't that piece of cake to play in the written key, as his onetime Selmer Mark Half-dozen tenor didn't accept a top F♯ key. So, the engineer slowed the tape downward then that Steve could tape the solo a semitone lower than intended. Once the tape was put back to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone sound was created that sounded a fleck like an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, merely lacking a bit more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had just arrived at the studio and said 'that'south the ane, that's the sax solo I want'. This could be down to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or just that George never recognized it was 'incorrect'.[23]
The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the Britain Singles Chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number 1, ending a nine-week run at the meridian for "2 Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for 3 weeks, going on to become the fifth all-time-selling single of 1984 in the U.k.; outsold only past the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "2 Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Merely Chosen to Say I Dear You", and Band Aid'due south "Do They Know It'due south Christmas?". The vocal 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 iii weeks at the top in America, the song was after named Billboard 's number-one song of 1985. The song was #1 on the smooth radio elevation 500 songs of all time nautical 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 ... it disappoints me that you lot can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly good lyric—and information technology can hateful so much to so many people. That'southward disillusioning for a writer."[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 Upwards Earlier You Go-Get") shows the guilt felt past a man (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to notice 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 every bit Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Isle. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a meridian 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 night-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, but was then re-edited after.[27]
Co-ordinate to producer Jon Roseman, product of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] According to Michael'due south co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene then nosotros had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain about ... And so George decided he didn't like his pilus so he flew his sister over from England to cutting it and we had to reshoot more than scenes."[29]
As the band felt they had "screwed upwardly" the video, further footage of Michael singing the vocal onstage was later shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[28] The video functioning (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube aqueduct on 24 October 2009. It has over 834 one thousand thousand views as of 2022.
