"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English language 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 It Large.

The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its first release. It was released equally a single and became a huge commercial success around the globe. It reached number one in well-nigh 25 countries, selling about 6 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 fashion to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Careless Whisper'. I take always written on buses, trains and in cars. Information technology always happens on journeys... With 'Devil-may-care Whisper' I remember exactly where it offset came to me, where I came upward with the sax line... I remember I was handing the coin over to the guy on the bus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote information technology totally in my caput. I worked on it for most three months in my caput."[7]

"When I was twelve, 13, I used to take to chaperone my sister, who was two years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl in that location with long blonde hair whose proper name was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a big beat out on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sis used to go 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 relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued.

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 schoolhouse. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and wait for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a elevator home from schoolhouse. And one day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I idea – at present where did SHE come from? She didn't know information technology was me. It was a few years subsequently and I looked a lot different. And so we played a schoolhouse disco with The Executive and she saw me singing and decided she fancied me. By this time she was that much older and a large buxom thing – and somewhen 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 girl who didn't fifty-fifty come across 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 stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a two-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a difficult time because they found out and they actually liked the first girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the start daughter finding out about the second – which she never did. But I started some other relationship with a girl chosen Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a chip complicated. Jane found out nearly her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being absurd, being this ii-timer, but there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the first girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Devil-may-care Whisper" was usa dancing, considering we danced a lot, and the thought 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 birthday.[9] They connected to piece of work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt'southward 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 "Gild Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Bask What Yous Exercise)" in the forepart room of Ridgeley'due south home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC four-track Portastudio. Considering most of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned dwelling by that point, Devil-may-care Whisper had to exist recorded in one take very rapidly. It featured a Physician Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave West), with Michael'southward vocal (recorded with a microphone fastened to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall toll of the recording was £20 (largely due to the rental cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a bargain with Innervision by Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[xiii] [14]

A more complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Center, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[xv] Withal, on the same twenty-four hours, 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 day:

"One 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 we signed the contract with Mark [Dean] that day, the day I finally believed we had number-ane material. That same solar day nosotros signed it all away. Merely you can never really know what you are capable of, you tin can never really have that foresight."[15]

Production [edit]

The vocal went through at least ii 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 Sound 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 second version was the one ultimately released as a single.

After the backing rail and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and practice the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should accept been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after ii hours, he was still in that location while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He but couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the manner it had been on the demo. Simply that had been made 2 years before by a friend of George'southward who lived round the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[xviii]

While the saxophonist appeared to be playing the part 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 yet again. "It has to twitch upwards a niggling just at that place! Come across...? And not too much."[18]

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

"I've seen things like this earlier. In that location'southward some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow not getting correct. Although you and I can't hear what information technology is, it may be the very affair that will make the tape a hit. The success of pop records is so imperceptible, and so unbelievably unpredictable, we just tin can't take the hazard of being impatient. But this sax player'southward not going to get it, is he!"[eighteen]

The version Wexler produced was released later on in the year, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and Japan.

The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Gild Fantastic Megamix as early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could finish the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "have the right to grant the outset 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 fabric. He said: "We knew how big that vocal could be, and so it was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was too committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" equally a solo unmarried in the center of the tour, despite information technology existence office of the setlist.[xx]

Michael later on went back to London'due south 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] later" as Michael added, although the experience 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 i recording of "Devil-may-care Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and so we completely re-did the track almost iv weeks before 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 virtually 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 get drunk in lodge to sing, I was then nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions near whether the record was practiced enough for the song and whether in that location was plenty of me in it because information technology just did not sound like me. I said 'it'southward great. Jerry's done a great job on information technology', and for the start time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already two and a one-half years sometime and I but did not have a inkling about where else I could have it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to get in and exercise information technology every bit if it had never been done before with the musicians we normally apply and see what happens.' The track was much improve because 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 correct corporeality of fluidity and notwithstanding breathe,"[23] Michael eventually heard what he was looking for from Steve Gregory.[24]

During an interview with DJ Danny Dominicus, Gregory said he was the 9th sax player to attempt the riff. Gregory said Michael'due south secretary had phoned him upwards midday and asked him to give the solo a effort.[25]

"When I got there, it was almost getting on to midnight, and there was some other saxophone role player in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing here?' And George hadn't showed upwards. And then Ray was a bit fed upwardly. He said 'Well I'm going, you can do it. I've had enough of waiting.' Then he left and it was simply myself, and (tape producer) Chris Porter. Then I said I've had quite a long day, I'm going to practise a better task now than I volition at iii o'clock in the morning, so can we endeavour and exercise something? So we went into the control room and George had already recorded it in LA with Jerry Wexler producing it and Tom Scott playing the saxophone line...he said this is what you got to do and he played this and I idea 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to practice it again? I can't play it as well as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it's a new version, he'southward done his ain production, information technology's a new track, it's got to be re-done, he only needs that on the new track,' so I went in the studio I tried to practise it and my saxophone is an old Selmer (tenor sax) from near 1954 or something and I didn't have that top notation. I didn't have a proper note on my saxophone, I had what we call a fake fingering I had to exercise to play information technology. Then it didn't really sound that smooth. It didn't audio that great. So having been effectually for a while, having had a bit of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you lot took it down past a semitone, a very small corporeality, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and we could come across how information technology sounds. So that'south what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it down a semitone, so I went out 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 back up to the proper speed, and as he was playing it 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 ix!'"

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number ane, ending a 9-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number 1 for 3 weeks, going on to get the 5th acknowledged unmarried of 1984 in the Great britain; outsold only by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Beloved You", and Ring Aid's "Do They Know Information technology's Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the The states in Feb 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending iii weeks at the top in America, the song was afterwards named Billboard 's number-ane song of 1985. The vocal was #1 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 office of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that yous tin write a lyric very flippantly—and not a peculiarly good lyric—and information technology tin mean then much to so many people. That's disillusioning for a writer."[nineteen]

Music video [edit]

The official music video (which uses the shorter unmarried 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 being (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to observe out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the adult female who lures George away. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[26] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The last part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top flooring balcony of Miami'due south Grove Towers.[27] [28]

A first 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 dark-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, but was then re-edited later.[29]

Co-ordinate 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 and so we had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain about ... Then George decided he didn't similar his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]

Equally the ring felt they had "screwed up" the video, further footage of Michael singing the vocal onstage was afterward shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[30] The video operation (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube aqueduct on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 million views as of 2022.
