"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English vocalizer 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 Information technology 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. Information technology reached number i in virtually 25 countries, selling almost 6 1000000 copies worldwide—2 1000000 of them in the United States.[5]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant near Bushey, Hertfordshire.[6] Michael explained in his autobiography, Blank, 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 ever written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I call back 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 motorcoach and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote information technology totally in my head. I worked on information technology for virtually three months in my head."[seven]
"When I was twelve, 13, I used to have to chaperone my sis, who was 2 years older, to an water ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl there with long blonde pilus whose proper noun was Jane. I was a fatty boy in glasses and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand up a risk. My sis 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 chosen Helen," Michael continued.
It had just started to cool off a flake when I discovered that the blonde daughter from Queensway had moved in but around the corner from my school. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand up and wait for my side by side-door neighbour, who used to requite me a lift home from schoolhouse. And one day I saw her walk downwards the path side by side to me and I thought – now where did SHE come up 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 fourth dimension she was that much older and a big buxom thing – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one mean solar day when I was waiting for my elevator and I was ... in heaven.[8]
Michael observed that after he stopped wearing spectacles, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl 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 just I didn't stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a full loser to being a two-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a hard time considering they found out and they really liked the get-go girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out about the second – which she never did. But I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. Information technology all got a bit complicated. Jane found out almost her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was existence absurd, beingness this two-timer, but there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did experience guilty about the first girl – and I take seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was u.s. dancing, because nosotros danced a lot, and the thought 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 piece of work together on the music and lyric both at Michael'southward firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt'due south basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[9] [10]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded past local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's domicile (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC 4-rails Portastudio. Considering nearly of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'due south female parent had returned home by that betoken, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in ane take very quickly. Information technology featured a Doctor Rhythm drum automobile, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave W), with Michael's vocal (recorded with a microphone fastened 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 Marker Dean on the strength of the demos.[13] [xiv]
A more complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Ring Heart, Holloway, London with a backing ring 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:
"One of the nearly 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 24-hour interval, the 24-hour interval I finally believed nosotros had number-1 fabric. That aforementioned mean solar day we signed it all away. But you can never actually know what yous are capable of, you can never really have that foresight."[15]
Product [edit]
The vocal went through at least ii 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.[16] [17] Michael was unhappy with the original version produced by Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the vocal himself; the second version was the ane ultimately released as a unmarried.
After the bankroll track and George'south vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone role player from Los Angeles to wing in and exercise the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at eleven and should accept been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after ii hours, he was nonetheless at that place while anybody in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He merely couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the manner it had been on the demo. But that had been made two years before by a friend of George'southward who lived round the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[18]
While the saxophonist appeared to be playing the function perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's still not correct, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him notwithstanding over again. "It has to twitch upwards a little just there! See...? And not too much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'southward dispute with the sax sound. "Is at that place actually something George wants that'southward different from what the sax 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 player is somehow non getting right. Although yous and I can't hear what it is, it may be the very matter that will make the record a hit. The success of pop records is so imperceptible, then unbelievably unpredictable, we merely tin't take the take chances of being impatient. But this sax actor's not going to get it, 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 characterization Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Gild Fantastic Megamix as early every bit 1983. Vocal publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could end the release of this unmarried on the basis that as a publisher they "accept the right to grant the first license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything about the Order Fantastic Megamix considering information technology was already released material. He said: "We knew how big that vocal could be, so it was necessary to upset a few people to stop information technology."[19] Towards the stop of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, then co-ordinate to him it would non have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" equally a solo single in the middle of the bout, despite it being office of the setlist.[twenty]
Michael later went back to London's Sarm West'south Studio 2 to re-record the track, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in i accept, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later on" 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 end:
"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 runway about 4 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 first time that I had e'er felt similar that about anybody that I'd worked with. Ordinarily I have trouble disarming myself that people know what they're doing. In this example I had to become boozer in order to sing, I was then nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was proficient enough for the vocal and whether there was enough of me in information technology because information technology just did non sound similar me. I said 'it'south great. Jerry'southward done a dandy job on it', and for the kickoff fourth dimension since we'd started I was blind to what was going on considering the song was already 2 and a one-half years erstwhile and I merely did not accept a clue nearly where else I could take it. Somewhen I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and practice it equally if information technology had never been washed before with the musicians we normally utilise and see what happens.' The rails was much better because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much amend job than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]
According to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a call to re-record the vocal'southward 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 exercise not have much idea what they are going to be recording until they go far, and this was the case for Steve and some other saxophonist who was ahead of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
As usual in that location was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'it's only going to be some crappy B side anyway then I'g off'. Steve waited and so discovered that the solo wasn't that piece of cake to play in the written fundamental, equally his old Selmer Marker Six tenor didn't have a top F♯ key. So, the engineer slowed the tape downward so that Steve could record the solo a semitone lower than intended. In one case the tape was put dorsum to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone sound was created that sounded a bit like an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, but lacking a flake more than depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had just arrived at the studio and said 'that's the one, that'southward the sax solo I want'. This could be down to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or only that George never recognized it was 'wrong'.[23]
The officially released single was issued in August 1984, inbound the Britain Singles Chart at number 12. Inside ii weeks it was at number i, ending a ix-week run at the height for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[iv] It stayed at number i for three weeks, going on to get the fifth best-selling single of 1984 in the Britain; outsold just by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Ii Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Chosen to Say I Love You", and Band Aid'south "Exercise They Know Information technology'south Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.s.a. in February 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the top in America, the song was later named Billboard 's number-one song of 1985. The vocal was #1 on the smooth radio top 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 development ... it disappoints me that you tin can write a lyric very flippantly—and non a peculiarly proficient lyric—and information technology can hateful so much to and then many people. That's disillusioning for a writer."[xix]
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 Earlier Y'all Get-Become") shows the guilt felt by a man (portrayed by Michael) over an thing, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to observe out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George abroad. Information technology was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[24] and features such locales every bit Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Island. The concluding part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a superlative floor balcony of Miami's Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A starting time 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 detailed storyline, simply was so re-edited later.[27]
Co-ordinate 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 and then we had to reshoot information technology, which I didn't complain most ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut information technology and nosotros 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 functioning (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. Information technology has over 834 million views equally of 2022.
