"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! album Arrive Large.

The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered past a number of artists since its first release. It was released as a single and became a huge commercial success around the world. Information technology reached number ane in nearly 25 countries, selling about 6 million copies worldwide—2 one thousand thousand of them in the Us.[5]

Background [edit]

Composition and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working as 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 way to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Careless Whisper'. I have always written on buses, trains and in cars. Information technology always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I recall exactly where it first came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I remember I was handing the coin over to the guy on the coach and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on information technology for about iii months in my head."[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. "At that place was a daughter there with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fatty male child in spectacles and I had a big shell on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sister used to go and practise what she wanted when we got to the skating rink and I would spend the afternoon swooning over this daughter Jane."[8]

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

It had just started to cool off a fleck when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in just effectually the corner from my school. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and wait for my next-door neighbor, who used to give me a lift dwelling from school. And one day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come from? She didn't know information technology 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 fourth dimension she was that much older and a big 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.[viii]

Michael observed that afterward he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't fifty-fifty see me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.

So I went out with her for a couple of months merely I didn't stop seeing Helen. I idea I was beingness smart – I had gone from beingness a total loser to beingness a two-timer. And I retrieve my sisters used to give me a hard time because they found out and they actually liked the kickoff girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out about the second – which she never did. But I started another human relationship with a daughter called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane institute out about her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I idea I was existence cool, being this two-timer, simply at that place really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did experience guilty almost the kickoff girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was u.s.a. 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 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's basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[ix] [10]

Demoing [edit]

The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in Jan 1982 alongside those for "Lodge Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What Yous Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Because almost of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned dwelling house by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one have very rapidly. It featured a Md 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 attached to a broom handle).[eleven] [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 forcefulness of the demos.[13] [14]

A more complete and fully realised 2d 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 mean solar day, 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 twenty-four hour period:

"One of the nigh incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Devil-may-care 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-1 material. That same day we signed it all abroad. But yous can never actually know what yous are capable of, you can never really have that foresight."[15]

Production [edit]

The song 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 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 2nd version was the one ultimately released every bit a single.

After the bankroll track and George'south vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the acme saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and exercise the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at xi and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bong. "Instead, after two hours, he was still there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted information technology, the way it had been on the demo. Only 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, information technology's still not right, yous run into..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the role to him yet again. "Information technology has to twitch upwards a trivial just there! See...? And not as well much."[eighteen]

Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is in that location 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 before. In that location's some tiny dash that the sax player is somehow non getting right. Although y'all and I can't hear what it is, it may be the very affair that will make the record a hit. The success of pop records is then imperceptible, and then unbelievably unpredictable, we just tin't accept the adventure of beingness impatient. But this sax player'south non going to get information technology, is he!"[18]

The version Wexler produced was released afterwards in the twelvemonth, equally a (four:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the Britain and Japan.

The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix every bit early equally 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 ground 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 do anything about the Club Fantastic Megamix considering it was already released fabric. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, so it was necessary to upset a few people to stop information technology."[19] Towards the cease of 1983, Michael was too committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so co-ordinate to him information technology would not have made sense to release "Devil-may-care Whisper" as a solo single in the middle of the tour, despite information technology beingness part of the setlist.[20]

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

Michael elaborated on the song's product and how it turned out in the stop:

"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 track almost iv weeks before information technology was due to exist released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the kickoff time that I had ever felt like that nearly anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this example I had to get drunk in gild to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was good enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it because it just did non sound similar me. I said 'it'due south great. Jerry's done a great chore on it', and for the first time since nosotros'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already two and a half years quondam and I just did not have a clue well-nigh where else I could take it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'yard going to go in and practise it as if information technology had never been done before with the musicians nosotros unremarkably use and see what happens.' The track was much ameliorate because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much better task than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]

After hiring and firing several other unlike sax players, for which the BBC characterized as struggling to play all the notes with "the right corporeality 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 ninth sax player to attempt the riff. Gregory said Michael'southward secretary had phoned him up midday and asked him to give the solo a endeavor.[25]

"When I got there, it was about 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 y'all doing here?' And George hadn't showed up. So Ray was a scrap fed up. He said 'Well I'1000 going, yous can do information technology. I've had plenty of waiting.' So he left and it was just myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long day, I'yard going to practice a improve job now than I volition at three o'clock in the morning, so can we effort and do 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 practise and he played this and I thought 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to exercise it again? I can't play information technology as well as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it's a new version, he's done his own product, information technology'south a new rails, information technology's got to be re-done, he simply needs that on the new track,' and then I went in the studio I tried to do information technology and my saxophone is an former Selmer (tenor sax) from about 1954 or something and I didn't take that tiptop note. I didn't have a proper notation on my saxophone, I had what we call a simulated fingering I had to do to play it. And then it didn't really audio that smooth. It didn't sound that great. And and then having been around for a while, having had a scrap of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took information technology downward past a semitone, a very small corporeality, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and we could see how it sounds. And so that's what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it down a semitone, and then I went out again and I played information technology in a lower key and when afterward I finished information technology I went back into the control room and he played it back and he put it support to the proper speed, and equally he was playing it back, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I think we got information technology!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'You are number 9!'"

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within two weeks information technology was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to become the 5th best-selling single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold only by the ii Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "2 Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Love You", and Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?". The song too 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 vocal was later on named Billboard 'due south number-one vocal of 1985. The song was #i on the shine radio acme 500 songs of all time chart – proving its iconic condition.

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 yous can write a lyric very flippantly—and non a particularly good lyric—and it can hateful so much to so 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 total album version and was directed past Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Upwardly Before You Go-Become") shows the guilt felt by a man (portrayed past 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 abroad. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[26] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Isle. The terminal office of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balcony of Miami'southward 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 nighttime-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, simply was and so 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 so he flew his sis over from England to cutting it and nosotros had to reshoot more scenes."[31]

As the ring felt they had "screwed upwards" 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 channel on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 meg views as of 2022.
