"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 Make It Large.
The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its first release. It was released as a single and became a huge commercial success around the globe. Information technology reached number one in near 25 countries, selling about 6 1000000 copies worldwide—two million of them in the United States.[5]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working equally a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant near Bushey, Hertfordshire.[6] Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, that he conceptualised "Careless Whisper" based on events from his babyhood. Michael wrote, "I was on my way to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Careless Whisper'. I accept always written on buses, trains and in cars. It e'er happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where it commencement came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I think I was handing the money 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 information technology for about iii months in my head."[vii]
"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. "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 practice 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 16, I had my first human relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued.
It had but started to absurd off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in just around the corner from my school. She had moved in correct next to where I used to stand and await for my side by side-door neighbour, who used to requite me a lift home from school. And ane day I saw her walk downward the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years after and I looked a lot different. 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 affair – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in one day when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in sky.[8]
Michael observed that after he stopped wearing spectacles, he began getting invited to parties. "And the daughter who didn't even see me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.
And so I went out with her for a couple of months but I didn't terminate seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from existence a total loser to being a 2-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a hard fourth dimension because they found out and they actually liked the outset girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the outset girl finding out about the second – 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 about her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I idea I was being absurd, being this 2-timer, only there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty most the start daughter – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was nigh her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it's 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's aunt'southward basement apartment 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 "Social club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Savour What You Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's domicile (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'south TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Because nearly of the mean solar day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned dwelling house past that indicate, Devil-may-care Whisper had to exist recorded in i take very quickly. It featured a Doctor Rhythm pulsate machine, an audio-visual guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played past Dave Due west), with Michael'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 cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Marker Dean on the force 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 bankroll band and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were chosen over past Dean to sign a contract in improver to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that 24-hour interval:
"One of the virtually incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Devil-may-care Whisper' demoed properly, with a ring, a sax and everything. It was ironic that nosotros signed the contract with Mark [Dean] that 24-hour interval, the day I finally believed we had number-ane material. That aforementioned day nosotros signed information technology all away. But you lot tin can never actually know what y'all are capable of, y'all can never really have that foresight."[xv]
Product [edit]
The song went through at to the lowest degree two rounds of production. The get-go was during a trip Michael fabricated to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to piece of work with producer Jerry Wexler at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in 1983.[sixteen] [17] Michael was unhappy with the original version produced by Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the song himself; the 2nd version was the 1 ultimately released as a single.
After the backing track and George'due south vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the summit saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should take been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, later on two hours, he was still there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He simply couldn't play the opening riff the manner George wanted information technology, the way it had been on the demo. Simply that had been fabricated 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 be playing the function perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it'southward still not correct, you lot run across..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him nevertheless once more. "Information technology has to twitch upwardly a piffling merely there! Meet...? And not too much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'southward dispute with the sax sound. "Is there really something George wants that'southward different from what the sax histrion is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like this before. There'south some tiny dash that the sax player is somehow not getting right. Although you and I can't hear what it is, it may be the very thing that will make the record a hit. The success of pop records is and so ephemeral, and then unbelievably unpredictable, we just tin can't accept the risk of existence impatient. Merely this sax actor's not going to go it, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released afterward in the year, every bit a (four:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and Nihon.
The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Devil-may-care Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix equally early every bit 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not end the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could finish the release of this single on the footing that as a publisher they "have the right to grant the first license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything most the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released material. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, so information technology was necessary to upset a few people to finish it."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was likewise committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not take made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the centre of the tour, despite it being office of the setlist.[xx]
Michael subsequently went dorsum to London'south Sarm West'south Studio two to re-tape the rails, the backbone of which was done with a alive rhythm section in ane accept, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" every bit Michael added, although the feel of it was basically alive.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the vocal's production and how information technology 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 and then we completely re-did the rails nearly four weeks before it was due to be released. When we originally made information technology I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and information technology was the first fourth dimension that I had ever felt like that almost anybody that I'd worked with. Commonly I have problem convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to get drunk 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 there was enough of me in information technology because information technology just did not audio similar me. I said 'it's great. Jerry'due south washed a great task on information technology', and for the first time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already two and a one-half years former and I just did not have a clue about where else I could take it. Somewhen I simply thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and do information technology as if it had never been done earlier with the musicians we ordinarily utilize and see what happens.' The track was much better considering I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much meliorate task 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's distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone thespian to record the solo, for Michael was determined to go the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do non have much idea what they are going to exist 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 there was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'it's simply going to be some crappy B side anyway so I'1000 off'. Steve waited and so discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written key, as his former Selmer Mark Half-dozen tenor didn't accept a summit F♯ key. And so, the engineer slowed the tape down so that Steve could tape the solo a semitone lower than intended. In one case the tape was put back to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone sound was created that sounded a bit similar an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, merely lacking a bit more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had but arrived at the studio and said 'that's the ane, that'southward the sax solo I desire'. This could exist down to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or just that George never recognized it was 'incorrect'.[23]
The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Inside two weeks information technology was at number 1, ending a 9-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number ane for three weeks, going on to become the fifth 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 Love You", and Band Aid's "Exercise They Know It'due south Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United states of america in Feb 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the top in America, the song was later named Billboard 'southward number-one song of 1985. The song was #1 on the shine radio top 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 information technology "was not an integral part of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you lot tin write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly skillful lyric—and information technology can mean so much to so many people. That'due south disillusioning for a author."[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 You lot Go-Become") shows the guilt felt by a human being (portrayed by Michael) over an matter, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to notice out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George abroad. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in Feb 1984[24] and features such locales equally Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The last part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top floor balcony of Miami'due south Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A first original version of the video was edited with the Jerry Wexler 1983 version, and featured Andrew every bit a cameo, handing over a letter to a nighttime-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, but was then re-edited afterwards.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] According to Michael'southward co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene and so nosotros had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain about ... And so George decided he didn't like his hair and so he flew his sister over from England to cutting it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
As the band felt they had "screwed upward" the video, further footage of Michael singing the vocal 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 October 2009. It has over 834 meg views as of 2022.
