"Careless Whisper" is a song past 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 Brand Information technology Big.
The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered past a number of artists since its get-go release. It was released as a single and became a huge commercial success around the world. Information technology reached number i in nearly 25 countries, selling nigh half-dozen million copies worldwide—ii million of them in the United States.[v]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant near Bushey, Hertfordshire.[half-dozen] Michael explained in his autobiography, Blank, that he conceptualised "Devil-may-care 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 ever written on buses, trains and in cars. It e'er happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I call back exactly where information technology first came to me, where I came upwards 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 caput. I worked on it for about three 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 ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "At that place was a girl there with long blonde pilus whose name was Jane. I was a fat male child in glasses and I had a large crush on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sister used to become and do what she wanted when we 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 outset human relationship with a daughter called Helen," Michael connected.
It had but started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in only around the corner from my school. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and await for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift home from schoolhouse. And one day I saw her walk downwardly the path next to me and I idea – now where did SHE come up from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years afterwards and I looked a lot different. And 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 big buxom matter – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one 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 come across me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.
And then I went out with her for a couple of months only I didn't finish 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 hard fourth dimension because they found out and they actually liked the commencement girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the start girl finding out near the 2nd – which she never did. But I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane found out most her and got rid of me ... The whole time I idea I was beingness absurd, being this two-timer, but there actually wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the starting time girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, considering we danced a lot, and the idea was – nosotros are dancing ... only she knows ... and it'southward finished.[8]
Andrew Ridgeley came up with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th birthday.[nine] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt's basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[nine] [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! (Enjoy What Y'all Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'southward TEAC four-track Portastudio. Because most of the mean solar day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'due south mother had returned domicile by that point, Devil-may-care Whisper had to be recorded in one take very quickly. Information technology featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played past Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played past Dave West), with Michael'due south vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall cost of the recording was £20 (largely due to the rental price of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[thirteen] [14]
A more consummate and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a bankroll ring and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in addition to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that solar day:
"I 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 Marking [Dean] that day, the day I finally believed we had number-one material. That same twenty-four hour period we signed it all away. Simply yous can never really know what y'all are capable of, you can never really have that foresight."[fifteen]
Production [edit]
The song went through at to the lowest degree two rounds of production. The beginning was during a trip Michael made to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to work with producer Jerry Wexler at Muscle Shoals Audio Studio in 1983.[16] [17] Michael was unhappy with the original version produced past Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the song himself; the second version was the one ultimately released as a single.
After the backing track and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the acme saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and practice the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should take been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, subsequently two hours, he was still there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the fashion George wanted information technology, the way it had been on the demo. Merely that had been fabricated two years before by a friend of George's who lived circular 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, it's still not right, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the function to him yet again. "Information technology has to twitch upwards a fiddling just at that place! Run across...? And not too much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'due south dispute with the sax audio. "Is there really something George wants that'due south different from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like this before. There's some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow non getting right. Although yous and I tin't hear what it is, it may be the very thing that volition make the record a striking. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, then unbelievably unpredictable, we simply tin can't take the risk of being impatient. Simply this sax player's non going to get it, 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 Japan.
The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix as early on as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Guild Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this unmarried on the basis that as a publisher they "have the correct to grant the first license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything well-nigh the Club Fantastic Megamix considering it was already released cloth. He said: "We knew how large that song could exist, so it was necessary to upset a few people to finish information technology."[xix] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was likewise committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not have fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo unmarried in the center of the tour, despite it being part of the setlist.[20]
Michael after went dorsum to London's Sarm West'south Studio 2 to re-record the runway, 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'due south product and how it turned out in the cease:
"Jerry Wexler did one 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 most four weeks before it was due to be released. When nosotros originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and information technology was the outset time that I had e'er felt like that nearly anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I take trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to go drunk in club 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 plenty of me in it because information technology but did not audio like me. I said 'it's bully. Jerry'south washed a dandy task on it', and for the first fourth dimension since we'd started I was blind to what was going on considering the song was already ii and a half years quondam and I just did not have a clue well-nigh where else I could take it. Eventually I simply thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and exercise it as if information technology had never been done before with the musicians we unremarkably use 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 department". [22]
According to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a call to re-record the vocal'due south distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone player to record the solo, for Michael was determined to go the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do non accept much idea what they are going to be recording until they arrive, and this was the instance for Steve and another saxophonist who was alee of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
As usual there was a lot of waiting effectually and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'it'south only going to be some crappy B side anyhow and so I'1000 off'. Steve waited and then discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written key, as his old Selmer Mark VI tenor didn't have a top F♯ key. So, the engineer slowed the tape down then that Steve could record 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 than depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had just arrived at the studio and said 'that'south the 1, that'due south the sax solo I want'. This could be downwards to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or just 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. Inside two weeks it was at number 1, ending a nine-calendar week run at the pinnacle for "Two Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[iv] It stayed at number 1 for iii weeks, going on to get the fifth acknowledged 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 Aid's "Practice They Know It'south Christmas?". The song likewise 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 three weeks at the top in America, the song was later named Billboard 'due south number-one vocal of 1985. The song was #1 on the smooth radio tiptop 500 songs of all fourth dimension chart – proving its iconic status.
Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the vocal. He said in 1991 that information technology "was non an integral part of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a especially good lyric—and it can mean so much to then 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 Before Y'all Become-Go") shows the guilt felt by a man (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to detect out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George away. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[24] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The final office 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 equally a cameo, handing over a letter to a dark-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, but was then re-edited later.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] Co-ordinate to Michael'southward co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so we had to reshoot information technology, which I didn't complain most ... And then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut information technology and we had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
As the ring felt they had "screwed up" the video, further 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 aqueduct on 24 October 2009. It has over 834 million views as of 2022.
