"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English language singer George Michael. It was written past Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[4] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! album Make It Big.

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

Groundwork [edit]

Composition and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working equally a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant about Bushey, Hertfordshire.[6] 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 have e'er written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where information technology kickoff came to me, where I came up 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 it totally in my head. I worked on it for about three months in my head."[7]

"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was 2 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 spectacles and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sister used to become and practice 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 but started to cool off a flake when I discovered that the blonde daughter from Queensway had moved in just around 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 requite me a elevator home from schoolhouse. And one 24-hour interval 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. Information technology was a few years later and I looked a lot dissimilar. And 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 large buxom affair – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one twenty-four hour period when I was waiting for my elevator 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 even see me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.

Then I went out with her for a couple of months only I didn't stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from existence a total loser to being a ii-timer. And I remember my sisters used to requite me a hard fourth dimension because they institute out and they really liked the first daughter. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the showtime daughter finding out nearly the second – which she never did. Merely 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 about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I idea I was being absurd, being this two-timer, but in that location really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty nigh the first daughter – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... merely she knows ... and information technology'southward finished.[viii]

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's house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt's 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 "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Relish What You Do)" in the front end room of Ridgeley's home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC 4-runway Portastudio. Because near of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned dwelling house by that betoken, Careless Whisper had to exist recorded in one accept very speedily. It featured a Md Rhythm drum car, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played past Dave W), with Michael's 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 Marking Dean on the strength of the demos.[13] [14]

A more than complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Ring Centre, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[xv] Nonetheless, on the same twenty-four hour period, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in add-on to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that 24-hour interval:

"Ane of the most incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Careless Whisper' demoed properly, with a ring, a sax and everything. It was ironic that we signed the contract with Marking [Dean] that day, the day I finally believed we had number-1 material. That same day we signed it all abroad. Simply you can never actually know what you lot are capable of, yous can never really have that foresight."[xv]

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 piece of 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 song himself; the second version was the one ultimately released every bit a single.

After the backing runway and George's song had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and exercise the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, later two hours, he was nonetheless there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the mode George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. But that had been made two years earlier 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 exist playing the part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, information technology's all the same not correct, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet over again. "It has to twitch upwards a fiddling merely there! Meet...? And not too much."[xviii]

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

"I've seen things similar this before. There's some tiny nuance that the sax actor is somehow not getting right. Although you and I tin't hear what it is, information technology may be the very affair that volition make the record a hit. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, we merely can't take the risk of being impatient. Just this sax player'due south not going to get it, is he!"[18]

The version Wexler produced was released later in the twelvemonth, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the UK and Japan.

The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" afterwards the Club Fantastic Megamix as early equally 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non stop 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 correct to grant the showtime license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to practise annihilation about the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released textile. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, so it 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, then co-ordinate to him it would not have fabricated sense to release "Devil-may-care Whisper" equally a solo unmarried in the heart of the tour, despite it being function of the setlist.[20]

Michael later on went back to London's Sarm West's Studio ii to re-tape the track, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in one accept, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" as Michael added, although the feel of it was basically live.[21] [22]

Michael elaborated on the vocal's production and how it turned out in the finish:

"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video so nosotros completely re-did the track about four weeks earlier it was due to be released. When we originally fabricated it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first time that I had e'er felt similar that almost anybody that I'd worked with. Normally I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this example I had to become drunk in social club to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions virtually whether the record was good enough for the song and whether there was plenty of me in it because it just did not sound similar me. I said 'it's smashing. Jerry'due south done a bully task on it', and for the first time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on considering the song was already 2 and a half years erstwhile and I just did not have a inkling most where else I could take information technology. Eventually I merely idea, 'sod this. I'1000 going to become in and exercise it as if it had never been done before with the musicians we normally use and see what happens.' The rails was much improve because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much ameliorate job than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]

Subsequently 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 still breathe,"[23] Michael somewhen 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'south secretarial assistant had phoned him upwards midday and asked him to give the solo a try.[25]

"When I got there, it was about getting on to midnight, and there was another saxophone histrion in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing here?' And George hadn't showed up. So Ray was a fleck fed up. He said 'Well I'grand going, y'all can do it. I've had enough of waiting.' And then he left and information technology was simply myself, and (tape producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long 24-hour interval, I'm going to do a better job now than I will at 3 o'clock in the morning, and so can we try and practice 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 thought 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to practise it once more? I can't play information technology as well as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it'southward a new version, he's done his own production, it'due south a new track, it'southward got to be re-washed, he just needs that on the new track,' so I went in the studio I tried to practice it and my saxophone is an old Selmer (tenor sax) from about 1954 or something and I didn't have that top note. I didn't accept a proper note on my saxophone, I had what we phone call a false fingering I had to do to play it. So it didn't really sound that polish. Information technology didn't sound that bang-up. And so having been around for a while, having had a bit of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'await, if you lot took it down by a semitone, a very pocket-sized corporeality, I'd accept all the proper notes on my horn and we could see how it sounds. Then that's what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it down a semitone, and so I went out once more and I played it in a lower cardinal and when after I finished it I went dorsum into the command room and he played it back and he put it support to the proper speed, and every bit he was playing it dorsum, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I think we got information technology!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'You lot are number 9!'"

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the Great britain Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Inside two weeks it was at number 1, ending a nine-calendar week run at the top for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[iv] It stayed at number i for three weeks, going on to go the fifth best-selling single of 1984 in the U.k.; outsold only past the 2 Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Dearest You", and Band Help's "Do They Know It's Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in February 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the top in America, the song was later named Billboard 'due south number-one vocal of 1985. The song was #i on the smooth radio meridian 500 songs of all time chart – proving its iconic status.

Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the song. He said in 1991 that it "was non an integral part of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you tin write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly good lyric—and it tin can mean so much to so many people. That's disillusioning for a author."[19]

Music video [edit]

The official music video (which uses the shorter single version instead of the full anthology version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Earlier You Get-Get") shows the guilt felt past a human (portrayed by Michael) over an thing, 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 February 1984[26] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Isle. The terminal function of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top flooring balcony of Miami'south Grove Towers.[27] [28]

A start 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 dark-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, just was then re-edited afterwards.[29]

According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[30] Co-ordinate 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 mutter about ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]

As the ring felt they had "screwed upward" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was subsequently shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[thirty] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 million views as of 2022.
