"Careless Whisper" is a song 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! anthology Make it 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 i in nearly 25 countries, selling virtually vi million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the U.s.a..[v]

Background [edit]

Composition and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air eating house near 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 'Careless Whisper'. I have always written on buses, trains and in cars. It ever happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where it outset came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I remember I was handing the coin over to the guy on the motorbus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on it for well-nigh 3 months in my head."[7]

"When I was twelve, xiii, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was two 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 fat male child in spectacles 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, when I was xvi, I had my starting time relationship with a girl called 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 school. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and look for my next-door neighbor, who used to give me a lift habitation from school. And one solar day I saw her walk down the path adjacent 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 different. And so 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 1 twenty-four hours when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in sky.[8]

Michael observed that after he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl 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 but 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 retrieve my sisters used to give me a hard time because they institute out and they actually liked the outset daughter. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the start girl finding out well-nigh the 2nd – which she never did. Only I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. Information technology all got a bit complicated. Jane plant out virtually her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I thought I was being cool, being this ii-timer, but there actually wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty nearly the first girl – and I accept seen her since – and the idea of the song was near her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the thought was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and information technology'due south 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'southward business firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt'south basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[nine] [10]

Demoing [edit]

The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in Jan 1982 alongside those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What Y'all Do)" in the forepart room of Ridgeley'southward home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'southward TEAC iv-rails Portastudio. Considering most of the mean solar day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned abode by that point, Devil-may-care Whisper had to be recorded in one accept very rapidly. It featured a Medico Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave Due west), with Michael's song (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall toll of the recording was £twenty (largely due to the rental toll of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a bargain with Innervision past Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[13] [14]

A more than consummate and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a backing ring and a saxophone riff.[15] Even so, 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:

"Ane of the most incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Devil-may-care Whisper' demoed properly, with a band, a sax and everything. Information technology was ironic that we signed the contract with Mark [Dean] that day, the twenty-four hour period I finally believed we had number-one material. That aforementioned solar day we signed it all away. But you tin never really know what you are capable of, you tin can never really accept that foresight."[15]

Production [edit]

The vocal went through at least two 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 Audio 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 ane ultimately released equally a single.

Subsequently the backing track and George's song had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top 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! managing director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, subsequently two hours, he was still in that location 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. Simply that had been made two years earlier past a friend of George's who lived circular 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's even so not correct, yous run into..." and he would lower his caput to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him however again. "It has to twitch upwards a little simply there! See...? And not too much."[18]

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

"I've seen things like this earlier. There's some tiny dash that the sax actor is somehow not getting right. Although yous and I can't hear what it is, it may exist the very thing that will make the record a striking. The success of pop records is and then imperceptible, and so unbelievably unpredictable, we merely can't take the risk of beingness impatient. But this sax player'southward not going to get it, is he!"[18]

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

The record characterization Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Society Fantastic Megamix equally early every bit 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Society Fantastic Megamix, he could cease the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "take the right to grant the showtime license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything nearly the Social club Fantastic Megamix considering it was already released cloth. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, so information technology was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[xix] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the middle of the tour, despite it beingness part of the setlist.[20]

Michael later went dorsum to London's Sarm Westward'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] after" equally Michael added, although the feel of it was basically live.[21] [22]

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

"Jerry Wexler did ane recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and then we completely re-did the track about four weeks before it was due to exist released. When nosotros 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 get drunk in order to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions virtually whether the record was good enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it because information technology just did not sound similar me. I said 'it's great. Jerry's washed a swell job on it', and for the first time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on considering the song was already two and a half years old and I just did not accept a clue near where else I could take it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and practise information technology as if it had never been done before with the musicians we usually utilize and see what happens.' The rails was much meliorate considering I was relaxed and I recall that our musicians did a much better job than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]

Subsequently hiring and firing several other different sax players, for which the BBC characterized as struggling to play all the notes with "the correct 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'south secretary had phoned him upwards midday and asked him to give the solo a try.[25]

"When I got in that location, it was well-nigh getting on to midnight, and there was another saxophone player in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing here?' And George hadn't showed upward. So Ray was a bit fed up. He said 'Well I'thousand going, you tin practise it. I've had enough of waiting.' Then he left and it was just myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long twenty-four hours, I'grand going to do a better task now than I will at 3 o'clock in the morning, so can we try and do something? So we went into the control room and George had already recorded it in LA with Jerry Wexler producing information technology and Tom Scott playing the saxophone line...he said this is what you got to do and he played this and I thought 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to do it again? I can't play it also every bit that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it'due south a new version, he'southward done his own production, it's a new track, it's got to be re-done, he just needs that on the new track,' and then I went in the studio I tried to exercise it and my saxophone is an old Selmer (tenor sax) from almost 1954 or something and I didn't take that tiptop notation. I didn't have a proper note on my saxophone, I had what nosotros call a fake fingering I had to do to play it. So information technology didn't really audio that polish. It didn't sound that dandy. And so having been around for a while, having had a bit of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'expect, if you took it downward by a semitone, a very pocket-size amount, I'd accept all the proper notes on my horn and we could run into how information technology sounds. So that'due south what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it downwardly a semitone, then I went out once again and I played information technology in a lower key and when afterwards I finished it I went back into the control room and he played it back and he put information technology back upwards to the proper speed, and as he was playing information technology back, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I think we got it!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'You are number 9!'"

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, inbound the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Inside two weeks it was at number one, ending a 9-week run at the meridian for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[iv] Information technology stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to become the fifth all-time-selling single of 1984 in the U.k.; outsold only by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Ii Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I But Called to Say I Love You lot", and Ring Help's "Practise 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 height in America, the song was later on named Billboard 'southward number-one song of 1985. The song was #1 on the smooth radio elevation 500 songs of all time chart – proving its iconic status.

Despite the success, Michael was never addicted of the song. He said in 1991 that it "was not an integral role of my emotional evolution ... information technology disappoints me that y'all can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly good lyric—and it can mean 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 full album version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before You Become-Go") shows the guilt felt by a human (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to find out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George away. Information technology was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[26] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The final function of the video shows Michael leaning out of a elevation floor 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 as a cameo, handing over a letter to a dark-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, just was then re-edited subsequently.[29]

According 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 it, which I didn't complain about ... And so George decided he didn't like his pilus and so he flew his sis over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]

Equally the band felt they had "screwed upwardly" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was afterward shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[30] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 Oct 2009. It has over 852 meg views as of 2022.
