"Careless Whisper" is a vocal by the English vocaliser 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 song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its first release. Information technology was released every bit a unmarried and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number 1 in most 25 countries, selling nigh 6 1000000 copies worldwide—ii million of them in the Us.[5]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working equally a DJ in the Bel Air eatery near 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 way to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Devil-may-care Whisper'. I have always written on buses, trains and in cars. Information technology e'er happens on journeys... With 'Devil-may-care Whisper' I retrieve 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 bus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote information technology totally in my caput. I worked on information technology for well-nigh three months in my head."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was two years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "At that place was a girl there with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a big trounce on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sister used to get and do 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 later, when I was sixteen, I had my first human relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued.
Information technology had simply started to cool off a chip when I discovered that the blonde daughter from Queensway had moved in just effectually the corner from my school. She had moved in right side by side to where I used to stand up and wait for my next-door neighbor, who used to give me a lift home from school. And one solar day I saw her walk downwards the path side by side to me and I idea – at present where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. Information technology was a few years later and I looked a lot different. Then we played a schoolhouse 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 large buxom thing – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one twenty-four hours when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[8]
Michael observed that after he stopped wearing spectacles, 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 only I didn't stop seeing Helen. I idea I was beingness smart – I had gone from beingness a full loser to being a ii-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a hard time because they found out and they really liked the commencement girl. The whole idea of "Devil-may-care Whisper" was the first girl 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 most her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I thought I was being cool, being this two-timer, but in that location actually wasn't that much emotion involved. I did experience guilty almost the get-go girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was the states dancing, because we danced a lot, and the thought was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it'due south 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 house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'south 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 "Order Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Practice)" in the front room of Ridgeley's domicile (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'due south TEAC 4-rail Portastudio. Because well-nigh of the 24-hour interval was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned home by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in ane accept very quickly. It featured a Doctor Rhythm pulsate machine, an audio-visual guitar (played past 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 cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a bargain with Innervision by Mark 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 improver to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that twenty-four hour period:
"Ane of the most 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 Marking [Dean] that day, the day I finally believed nosotros had number-1 fabric. That same 24-hour interval nosotros signed it all away. But you tin never really know what you are capable of, you can never really take that foresight."[15]
Production [edit]
The song went through at least ii rounds of production. The first was during a trip Michael fabricated 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-record and produce the song himself; the second version was the one ultimately released equally a single.
After the backing rails and George'due south song had been recorded, Wexler had booked the pinnacle saxophone histrion from Los Angeles to wing in and do the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should accept been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after ii hours, he was yet there while anybody in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the manner George wanted it, the mode it had been on the demo. But that had been made 2 years earlier by a friend of George'due south who lived round the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[eighteen]
While the saxophonist appeared to exist playing the part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, information technology'due south still not right, y'all meet..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the function to him yet once again. "It has to twitch upwards a lilliputian just at that place! See...? And not too much."[eighteen]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'southward dispute with the sax sound. "Is there really something George wants that'south dissimilar from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
"I've seen things like this before. There'south some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow not getting correct. Although you lot and I can't hear what information technology is, it may exist the very thing that volition brand the record a hit. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, we just can't take the adventure 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, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the UK and Nihon.
The record characterization Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix every bit early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non finish the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could finish the release of this unmarried on the basis that every bit a publisher they "take the right to grant the starting time license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything about the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released cloth. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, then it was necessary to upset a few people to end information technology."[nineteen] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not accept made sense to release "Careless Whisper" every bit a solo single in the middle of the bout, despite it being part of the setlist.[20]
Michael later went back to London'due south Sarm Westward'southward Studio ii to re-record the rails, the courage 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 feel 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 one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video then nosotros completely re-did the track well-nigh four 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 ever felt similar that almost anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to get drunk in guild to sing, I was so nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the tape was good plenty for the song and whether there was enough of me in it because it just did not audio like me. I said 'it's keen. Jerry'due south done a great job on it', and for the get-go fourth dimension since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already two and a half years old and I just did not have a inkling well-nigh where else I could accept it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to get in and do it as if it had never been washed before with the musicians we normally apply and see what happens.' The rails was much meliorate because I was relaxed and I think 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 equally struggling to play all the notes with "the correct 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 9th sax actor to endeavour 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, it was virtually 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 y'all doing here?' And George hadn't showed up. Then Ray was a bit fed upwards. He said 'Well I'chiliad going, yous can do it. I've had enough of waiting.' And so he left and it was just myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long twenty-four hour period, I'yard going to do a ameliorate job now than I volition at 3 o'clock in the morning, so can we attempt and exercise something? So we went into the control room and George had already recorded it in LA with Jerry Wexler producing information technology and Tom Scott playing the saxophone line...he said this is what you lot got to do and he played this and I thought 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to do information technology again? I tin can't play it as well as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it's a new version, he's done his own production, it's a new track, information technology'southward got to be re-done, he but needs that on the new track,' and so I went in the studio I tried to do it and my saxophone is an sometime Selmer (tenor sax) from virtually 1954 or something and I didn't have that summit note. I didn't accept a proper annotation on my saxophone, I had what we call a fake fingering I had to practise to play it. So it didn't really sound that smooth. It didn't sound that great. And and so having been effectually for a while, having had a scrap of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took it down by a semitone, a very small amount, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and we could see how it sounds. So that's what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took information technology down a semitone, so I went out over again and I played it in a lower key and when after I finished information technology I went dorsum 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 think we got it!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'You are number nine!'"
The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the Uk Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within ii weeks it was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the superlative for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for 3 weeks, going on to become the fifth best-selling single 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 Love You", and Band Assistance'south "Do They Know Information technology'southward Christmas?". The song 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 3 weeks at the top in America, the song was later on named Billboard 's number-i song of 1985. The song was #1 on the smooth radio top 500 songs of all time nautical chart – proving its iconic status.
Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the vocal. He said in 1991 that it "was non an integral part of my emotional evolution ... it disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a peculiarly practiced 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 full album version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Earlier You Go-Get") shows the guilt felt past a human being (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to notice 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 every bit Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Island. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balcony of Miami'south Grove Towers.[27] [28]
A first original version of the video was edited with the Jerry Wexler 1983 version, and featured Andrew equally a cameo, handing over a letter to a dark-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, only was then re-edited subsequently.[29]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[xxx] According to Michael'due south co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene and so we had to reshoot it, which I didn't mutter about ... And then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut it and nosotros had to reshoot more scenes."[31]
Equally the ring felt they had "screwed upwardly" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was later on shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[30] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube aqueduct on 24 October 2009. Information technology has over 852 1000000 views as of 2022.
