"Careless Whisper" is a vocal by the English vocaliser George Michael. Information technology was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[four] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! album Make It Big.

The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its starting time release. Information technology was released as a single and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number 1 in almost 25 countries, selling about half dozen one thousand thousand 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.[vi] Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, that he conceptualised "Careless Whisper" based on events from his childhood. Michael wrote, "I was on my style to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Careless Whisper'. I accept e'er written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I think exactly where it showtime came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I recall I was handing the money over to the guy on the bus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my caput. I worked on information technology for most three months in my caput."[7]

"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sis, who was two years older, to an water ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a daughter in that location with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a big vanquish on her - though I didn't stand a take 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 daughter Jane."[viii]

"A few years later, when I was sixteen, I had my first relationship with a girl chosen Helen," Michael continued.

It had only started to cool off a chip when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in just around the corner from my school. She had moved in right side by side to where I used to stand and expect for my next-door neighbour, who used to requite me a lift dwelling from school. And one day I saw her walk downward the path side by side 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 unlike. Then we played a school disco with The Executive and she saw me singing and decided she fancied me. By this time she was that much older and a big buxom thing – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in ane day when I was waiting for my elevator and I was ... in sky.[8]

Michael observed that after he stopped wearing spectacles, 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 but I didn't cease seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a two-timer. And I recollect my sisters used to give me a difficult time because they found out and they really liked the first daughter. The whole idea of "Devil-may-care Whisper" was the first girl finding out nearly the second – which she never did. Just I started some other relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the i with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane found out almost her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, being this two-timer, only there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty near the offset daughter – and I take seen her since – and the thought of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was united states of america dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... merely she knows ... and information technology's finished.[8]

Andrew Ridgeley came up with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th birthday.[ix] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's business firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt'due south basement apartment 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 "Order Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Relish What You Practise)" in the front room of Ridgeley'due south home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'due south TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Because most of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'south female parent had returned home past that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in ane take very quickly. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an audio-visual guitar (played by 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 toll of the recording was £20 (largely due to the rental price of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision past Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[thirteen] [14]

A more than 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.[xv] However, on the same 24-hour interval, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in improver to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that day:

"One of the almost 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 24-hour interval, the day I finally believed nosotros had number-one material. That same day we signed it all away. Simply you tin never really know what you are capable of, you can never really accept that foresight."[15]

Product [edit]

The vocal went through at to the lowest degree 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 Musculus Shoals Audio Studio in 1983.[sixteen] [17] Michael was unhappy with the original version produced past Wexler, and decided to re-tape and produce the song himself; the second version was the ane ultimately released as a single.

After the bankroll runway and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the height saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[xviii] "He arrived at eleven and should accept been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was yet in that location while anybody in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He only couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. Merely that had been made two years earlier by a friend of George's who lived round the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[eighteen]

While the saxophonist appeared to be playing the role perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's however not right, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet once again. "It has to twitch up a little only there! Run across...? And not also much."[xviii]

Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax audio. "Is there really something George wants that's different from what the sax actor is playing?" Napier-Bong asked.[eighteen] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.

"I've seen things similar this earlier. There's some tiny dash that the sax histrion is somehow not getting right. Although y'all and I can't hear what it is, information technology may be the very affair that will brand the record a hitting. The success of pop records is and so ephemeral, and then unbelievably unpredictable, we just can't take the risk of being impatient. Simply this sax player's not going to get it, is he!"[18]

The version Wexler produced was released later on in the yr, 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 Social club Fantastic Megamix as early as 1983. Vocal publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not terminate the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "have the right to grant the first license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to practice anything about the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released textile. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, then information technology was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was as well committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not have fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the eye of the tour, despite information technology being part of the setlist.[twenty]

Michael later on went back to London's Sarm W'south Studio 2 to re-record the rails, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in ane take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] afterwards" as Michael added, although the feel of it was basically live.[21] [22]

Michael elaborated on the song'southward production and how information technology turned out in the end:

"Jerry Wexler did 1 recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. And so we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and then we completely re-did the track well-nigh 4 weeks earlier it was due to be released. When we originally made information technology I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first fourth dimension that I had always felt like that near anybody that I'd worked with. Normally I take trouble disarming myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to get drunk in club to sing, I was and so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions nigh whether the record was good plenty for the song and whether there was plenty of me in it because it merely did not audio like me. I said 'it's groovy. Jerry'southward done a great chore on it', and for the first time since we'd started I was bullheaded to what was going on because the song was already two and a one-half years old and I just did not have a clue about where else I could take it. Eventually I but thought, 'sod this. I'm going to become in and practise information technology every bit if it had never been done before with the musicians we normally use and encounter what happens.' The rail was much ameliorate considering I was relaxed and I recall that our musicians did a much better job than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]

After hiring and firing several other different sax players, for which the BBC characterized as struggling to play all the notes with "the right amount of fluidity and nonetheless exhale,"[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 ninth sax player to endeavor the riff. Gregory said Michael's secretary had phoned him up midday and asked him to give the solo a try.[25]

"When I got there, information technology was about getting on to midnight, and there was some other saxophone histrion in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are y'all doing here?' And George hadn't showed up. And so Ray was a bit fed upwards. He said 'Well I'm going, you can do it. I've had enough of waiting.' Then he left and information technology was just myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. And then I said I've had quite a long day, I'yard going to practise a better job at present than I volition at iii o'clock in the morning, so can nosotros try and practice something? So we went into the control room and George had already recorded information technology in LA with Jerry Wexler producing it and Tom Scott playing the saxophone line...he said this is what y'all got to do and he played this and I thought 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to practice information technology again? I can't play information technology as well as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, information technology's a new version, he's washed his own production, information technology'south a new runway, information technology's got to exist re-washed, he just needs that on the new track,' and then I went in the studio I tried to practice it and my saxophone is an one-time Selmer (tenor sax) from about 1954 or something and I didn't have that top note. I didn't have a proper note on my saxophone, I had what we phone call a fake fingering I had to do to play it. So information technology didn't really sound that polish. Information technology didn't audio that bang-up. And then having been effectually for a while, having had a bit of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took information technology down by a semitone, a very pocket-sized amount, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and we could see how information technology sounds. Then that's what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it down a semitone, so I went out over again and I played it in a lower key and when after I finished it I went back into the control room and he played it back and he put it support to the proper speed, and as he was playing it dorsum, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I retrieve we got it!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'You are number 9!'"

The officially released unmarried was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number i, catastrophe a 9-calendar week run at the top for "Ii Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] Information technology stayed at number 1 for three weeks, going on to get the fifth acknowledged single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold simply past the 2 Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Love You lot", and Ring Aid's "Practice They Know It'due south Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the Usa in February 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the tiptop in America, the song was subsequently named Billboard 'southward number-one song of 1985. The song was #ane on the smooth radio top 500 songs of all fourth dimension 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 part of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly adept lyric—and information technology can mean and so much to then many people. That'south disillusioning for a writer."[nineteen]

Music video [edit]

The official music video (which uses the shorter unmarried version instead of the full anthology version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Upward Earlier You Become-Go") shows the guilt felt by a human (portrayed past Michael) over an matter, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to find out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George away. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in Feb 1984[26] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Isle. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a elevation floor balustrade of Miami's Grove Towers.[27] [28]

A start original version of the video was edited with the Jerry Wexler 1983 version, and featured Andrew every bit a cameo, handing over a letter of the alphabet to a night-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, but was then re-edited later.[29]

According to producer Jon Roseman, product 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 information technology, which I didn't complain about ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair and so he flew his sister over from England to cutting information technology and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]

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.[30] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube aqueduct on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 million views equally of 2022.
