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

The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered past a number of artists since its beginning release. It was released as a single and became a huge commercial success around the globe. It reached number 1 in nearly 25 countries, selling virtually 6 meg copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United States.[5]

Groundwork [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 "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. It ever happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where it beginning came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I retrieve I was handing the money 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 iii months in my head."[seven]

"When I was twelve, thirteen, 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 daughter in that location with long blonde hair whose proper name was Jane. I was a fat male child in glasses and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand up a chance. My sis 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 get-go relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael connected.

It had just started to absurd off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in just around the corner from my schoolhouse. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand up and look for my side by side-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift abode from schoolhouse. And one twenty-four hours I saw her walk downwardly the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come up 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 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 big 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 glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't even run into 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 thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a 2-timer. And I remember my sisters used to requite me a hard time because they found out and they really liked the first girl. The whole thought of "Careless Whisper" was the beginning girl finding out about 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 constitute out about her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I idea I was being cool, being this two-timer, but there actually wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty almost the commencement girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was united states 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.[9] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael'due south house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's 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 January 1982 alongside those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley's abode (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'south TEAC 4-rail Portastudio. Because nigh of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's female parent had returned home by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one have very quickly. Information technology featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an audio-visual guitar (played past Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave West), with Michael'due south 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 toll of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal 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 Ring Heart, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[fifteen] 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 day:

"One of the near incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Careless Whisper' demoed properly, with a band, a sax and everything. Information technology was ironic that we signed the contract with Marking [Dean] that mean solar day, the day I finally believed nosotros had number-i cloth. That aforementioned twenty-four hours nosotros signed it all away. Simply you tin can never really know what you are capable of, you can never actually take that foresight."[fifteen]

Product [edit]

The song went through at least two rounds of production. The outset was during a trip Michael made to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to work with producer Jerry Wexler at Musculus 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 vocal 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 superlative saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at xi and should take been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, subsequently two hours, he was withal there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He simply couldn't play the opening riff the style George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. Merely that had been made two years earlier by a friend of George's who lived round the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[18]

While the saxophonist appeared to be playing the function perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's withal not correct, you lot meet..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him withal once again. "It has to twitch upward a picayune just there! See...? And not likewise much."[eighteen]

Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is at that place 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 role player is somehow not getting right. Although y'all and I can't hear what it is, it may be the very matter that will make the record a striking. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, then unbelievably unpredictable, we but can't take the gamble of beingness impatient. Just this sax actor's not going to go it, is he!"[eighteen]

The version Wexler produced was released later in the year, equally a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the Britain and Nihon.

The record characterization Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Devil-may-care Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix equally early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non cease the release of the Guild Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "accept the right to grant the offset license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to exercise anything about the Gild Fantastic Megamix because information technology was already released material. He said: "We knew how large that song could be, and so it was necessary to upset a few people to finish it."[nineteen] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was besides committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not take fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the centre of the tour, despite it existence role of the setlist.[20]

Michael later went back to London'due south Sarm Due west'due south Studio 2 to re-tape the rails, the courage 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 alive.[21] [22]

Michael elaborated on the song's product 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 and and then nosotros completely re-did the track about four weeks before it was due to be released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first time that I had ever felt like that about everyone that I'd worked with. Normally I take problem disarming myself that people know what they're doing. In this instance I had to become drunk in order to sing, I was so nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was good enough for the vocal and whether in that location was enough of me in it considering information technology but did non sound like me. I said 'it's groovy. Jerry'due south done a great job on it', and for the first time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already ii and a half years quondam and I merely did not take a clue virtually where else I could take it. Somewhen I only idea, 'sod this. I'chiliad going to go in and do it equally if it had never been washed before with the musicians nosotros normally utilize and run into 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]

After hiring and firing several other different sax players, for which the BBC characterized as struggling to play all the notes with "the correct 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 Sun, Gregory said he was the ninth sax player to attempt the riff. Gregory said Michael's secretary had phoned him up midday and asked him to give the solo a effort.[25]

"When I got there, information technology was about getting on to midnight, and there was some other saxophone player in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing hither?' And George hadn't showed upward. So Ray was a fleck fed upward. He said 'Well I'one thousand going, you can exercise it. I've had enough of waiting.' 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 amend job now than I volition at three o'clock in the morning, so can we effort and do something? Then 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 Globe does he want to do it again? I can't play it too as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it's a new version, he's washed his own product, it'south a new track, it's got to exist re-done, he just needs that on the new track,' so I went in the studio I tried to do information technology 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 have a proper note on my saxophone, I had what we call a faux fingering I had to do to play it. So it didn't really audio that smooth. It didn't sound that great. And then having been effectually for a while, having had a chip of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'await, if you took it downwards by a semitone, a very small amount, I'd take all the proper notes on my horn and we could meet how information technology sounds. So that's what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it down a semitone, so I went out once more and I played it in a lower key and when later I finished it I went back into the control room and he played it back and he put information technology support to the proper speed, and as he was playing it back, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I call up we got information technology!' And so he pointed at me and said, 'Yous are number 9!'"

The officially released single was issued in Baronial 1984, entering the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Inside ii weeks it was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the top for "Ii Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to get the 5th best-selling single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold only by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "2 Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Chosen to Say I Dearest You lot", and Band Aid's "Do They Know It'south 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 's number-one song of 1985. The song was #ane on the shine radio height 500 songs of all time chart – proving its iconic condition.

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 can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly skillful lyric—and it can mean and then much to and so many people. That's disillusioning for a writer."[nineteen]

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 Upwardly Before Yous Go-Go") shows the guilt felt by a homo (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to observe out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the adult female 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 Island. The terminal role of the video shows Michael leaning out of a top flooring balcony of Miami'due south Grove Towers.[27] [28]

A outset original version of the video was edited with the Jerry Wexler 1983 version, and featured Andrew as a cameo, handing over a letter of the alphabet to a dark-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, but was then re-edited subsequently.[29]

According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[30] According to Michael'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 so 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 band felt they had "screwed up" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was afterwards shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[xxx] The video functioning (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 million views as of 2022.
