"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! album Make It Large.
The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its get-go release. It was released as a unmarried and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling nigh half-dozen million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United States.[five]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air eating house nearly Bushey, Hertfordshire.[6] Michael explained in his autobiography, Blank, 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 always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I recall exactly where information technology 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 double-decker and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote information technology totally in my head. I worked on it for about three months in my head."[seven]
"When I was twelve, xiii, 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 there with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses 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 we got to the skating rink and I would spend the afternoon swooning over this daughter Jane."[8]
"A few years later, when I was sixteen, I had my starting time relationship with a daughter 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 only effectually the corner from my school. She had moved in right adjacent to where I used to stand up and wait for my side by side-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift home from schoolhouse. And i 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 different. And 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 eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in 1 day when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[eight]
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.
And then I went out with her for a couple of months merely I didn't stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to existence a two-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a hard time because they plant out and they really liked the first girl. The whole idea of "Devil-may-care Whisper" was the start girl finding out near the second – which she never did. But I started another relationship with a girl chosen Alexis without finishing the i with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane found out well-nigh her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, being this ii-timer, but in that location really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty most the commencement girl – and I have seen her since – and the thought of the song was almost her. "Careless Whisper" was u.s. dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and information technology'southward finished.[8]
Andrew Ridgeley came upwards 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's business firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'due south aunt's basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[9] [ten]
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 front end room of Ridgeley'south home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'south TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Because virtually of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'southward mother had returned home by that signal, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one have very chop-chop. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave West), with Michael's song (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[xi] [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] [14]
A more 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.[15] However, on the aforementioned day, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in addition to the tape deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that solar 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 nosotros signed the contract with Marker [Dean] that mean solar day, the day I finally believed we had number-one material. That same day we signed it all abroad. Just yous can never really know what yous are capable of, you lot tin never really accept that foresight."[15]
Product [edit]
The vocal went through at least 2 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 second version was the one ultimately released as a single.
Subsequently the bankroll rails and George'southward song had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at 11 and should have been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after 2 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 it, the style information technology had been on the demo. But that had been made 2 years earlier past 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'due south still non right, yous see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet over again. "Information technology has to twitch upward a little just there! See...? And non also much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is in that location actually something George wants that'south dissimilar from what the sax histrion is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[xviii] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like this before. In that location's 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 exist the very affair that will brand the record a hitting. The success of popular records is so imperceptible, then unbelievably unpredictable, nosotros just can't take the risk of being impatient. But this sax player's not going to go information technology, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the year, every bit a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the U.k. and Nippon.
The record characterization Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix as early equally 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not end the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the footing that equally 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 nearly the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released fabric. He said: "Nosotros knew how big that vocal could be, so it was necessary to upset a few people to stop information technology."[19] Towards the finish of 1983, Michael was as well committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would non have fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the middle of the tour, despite it being part of the setlist.[xx]
Michael later went back to London's Sarm West's Studio two to re-tape the track, the courage of which was washed 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 alive.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the vocal'southward 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 almost 4 weeks before it was due to be released. When nosotros originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first fourth dimension that I had always felt like that about anybody that I'd worked with. Unremarkably I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to get boozer in order 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 at that place was enough of me in it considering it just did not sound like me. I said 'it's nifty. Jerry's done a great job on information technology', and for the first time since nosotros'd started I was blind to what was going on considering the song was already ii and a half years old and I just did non accept a inkling almost where else I could accept information technology. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'yard going to go in and exercise it as if it had never been washed before with the musicians we normally utilise and see what happens.' The track was much better because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much better job than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]
According to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a telephone call to re-record the vocal'due south distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone player to tape the solo, for Michael was determined to get the audio he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do not accept much thought what they are going to be recording until they get in, and this was the case for Steve and another saxophonist who was ahead of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
Every bit usual in that location was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'it'southward just going to be some crappy B side anyway so I'm off'. Steve waited and and so discovered that the solo wasn't that like shooting fish in a barrel to play in the written cardinal, as his old Selmer Mark Vi tenor didn't accept a meridian F♯ key. So, the engineer slowed the tape downwards so that Steve could tape the solo a semitone lower than intended. Once the tape was put back 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 bit more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had just arrived at the studio and said 'that's the one, that's 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, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number i, ending a nine-week run at the acme for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[four] It stayed at number 1 for three weeks, going on to become the 5th best-selling unmarried of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold only by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Dearest You", and Band Aid's "Practice They Know It's Christmas?". The vocal also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United states of america in February 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the top in America, the song was afterwards named Billboard 's number-one vocal of 1985. The vocal was #1 on the smooth radio top 500 songs of all time nautical chart – proving its iconic condition.
Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the vocal. He said in 1991 that it "was not an integral role of my emotional evolution ... it disappoints me that you tin write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly good lyric—and information technology can mean so 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 total album version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Earlier You Become-Go") shows the guilt felt past 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. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in Feb 1984[24] and features such locales as Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Island. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balcony of Miami's Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A first original version of the video was edited with the Jerry Wexler 1983 version, and featured Andrew as a cameo, handing over a alphabetic character to a nighttime-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, but was and then re-edited later.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, product of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] According to Michael's co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so nosotros had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain near ... Then George decided he didn't like his pilus so he flew his sis over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
As the ring felt they had "screwed up" the video, farther footage of Michael singing the song onstage was later shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[28] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 Oct 2009. It has over 852 million views equally of 2022.
