"Careless Whisper" is a song past the English singer George Michael. Information technology was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[iv] of Wham! and was released on 24 July 1984 on the Wham! album Make It Big.
The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered past a number of artists since its first release. It was released as a unmarried and became a huge commercial success around the earth. Information technology reached number one in virtually 25 countries, selling about vi million copies worldwide—2 meg of them in the United States.[5]
Background [edit]
Limerick and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant nigh Bushey, Hertfordshire.[vi] Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, that he conceptualised "Careless Whisper" based on events from his babyhood. Michael wrote, "I was on my style to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Devil-may-care Whisper'. I take always written on buses, trains and in cars. Information technology e'er happens on journeys... With 'Devil-may-care Whisper' I remember exactly where information technology 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 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 caput."[vii]
"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. "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 gamble. My sister used to go 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 16, I had my get-go relationship with a daughter called Helen," Michael connected.
It had simply started to absurd off a flake when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in simply around the corner from my school. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and wait for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift home from schoolhouse. And one day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I thought – at present where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years afterward 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. Past this time she was that much older and a big buxom matter – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in ane day when I was waiting for my elevator and I was ... in heaven.[viii]
Michael observed that later on 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 but I didn't end seeing Helen. I idea I was being smart – I had gone from being a full loser to existence a ii-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 idea of "Careless Whisper" was the beginning girl finding out about the second – which she never did. But I started another human relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. Information technology all got a scrap complicated. Jane establish out virtually her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, beingness this two-timer, merely there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the first girl – and I have seen her since – and the thought of the vocal was about her. "Careless Whisper" was the states dancing, considering nosotros danced a lot, and the thought was – nosotros are dancing ... just she knows ... and it's finished.[eight]
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'south 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 past local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Society Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Relish What Y'all Practice)" in the front room of Ridgeley's home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC four-track Portastudio. Because most of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'south female parent had returned dwelling house by that betoken, Careless Whisper had to exist recorded in ane take very quickly. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave West), with Michael'south vocal (recorded with a microphone fastened to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall toll of the recording was £twenty (largely due to the rental price of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a bargain with Innervision by Marker Dean on the forcefulness of the demos.[13] [14]
A more complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Ring Eye, Holloway, London with a backing ring and a saxophone riff.[15] Nonetheless, on the aforementioned day, Michael and Ridgely were called over past Dean to sign a contract in addition to the record deal, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that day:
"Ane 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 Mark [Dean] that day, the 24-hour interval I finally believed nosotros had number-i textile. That same twenty-four hours we signed it all away. Only y'all can never really know what y'all are capable of, you can never really take that foresight."[15]
Production [edit]
The song went through at least two rounds of production. The start 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 2nd version was the i ultimately released equally a single.
After the backing track and George'due south vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone thespian from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at eleven and should accept been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was nonetheless at that place while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He only couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. But that had been fabricated two years earlier by a friend of George'due south 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, information technology'due south still non right, yous see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet again. "It has to twitch upwards a little just at that place! Meet...? And non too much."[eighteen]
Napier-Bong consulted with Wexler over Michael'south dispute with the sax sound. "Is there actually something George wants that's different from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
"I've seen things like this before. There'southward some tiny dash that the sax player is somehow not getting correct. Although you lot and I can't hear what information technology is, it may be the very thing that volition make the record a hit. The success of pop records is so imperceptible, so unbelievably unpredictable, we but can't take the risk of being impatient. But this sax thespian's non going to go 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 Nihon.
The tape label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Order Fantastic Megamix as early equally 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not end the release of the Society Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the ground that as a publisher they "accept the right to grant the first license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything nigh the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released cloth. He said: "We knew how large that vocal could be, so information technology was necessary to upset a few people to cease it."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so co-ordinate to him information technology would not have fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo unmarried in the middle of the bout, despite it existence part of the setlist.[20]
Michael afterwards went back to London's Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-record the track, the courage of which was washed with a live rhythm department in one take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" as Michael added, although the feel of information technology was basically live.[21] [22]
Michael elaborated on the song's production and how it turned out in the end:
"Jerry Wexler did 1 recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then nosotros re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and then nosotros completely re-did the track almost iv weeks before information technology 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 about everyone that I'd worked with. Commonly I have trouble convincing 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 song and whether in that location was plenty of me in information technology because it but did not audio like me. I said 'it'southward great. Jerry'due south washed a bang-up task on it', and for the first fourth dimension since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already two and a one-half years old and I just did non have a clue most where else I could take it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and do it every bit if it had never been done earlier with the musicians we normally utilise and see what happens.' The rails was much better because I was relaxed and I remember that our musicians did a much better task 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 right amount of fluidity and still breathe,"[23] Michael eventually heard what he was looking for from Steve Gregory.[24]
During an interview with DJ Danny Sunday, Gregory said he was the 9th sax role player to effort the riff. Gregory said Michael's secretarial assistant had phoned him upward midday and asked him to requite the solo a try.[25]
"When I got in that location, information technology was about getting on to midnight, and there was another saxophone player in the studio, Ray Warleigh, who I knew quite well, and he said 'what are you doing here?' And George hadn't showed upwards. So Ray was a bit fed up. He said 'Well I'grand going, you tin practise it. I've had enough of waiting.' So he left and information technology was just myself, and (record producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long day, I'm going to practise a better task now than I will at iii o'clock in the morn, so can we try and practice something? So we went into the control room and George had already recorded information technology 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 do information technology once again? I can't play it also as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it's a new version, he's done his own production, it'southward a new runway, it's got to be re-done, he merely needs that on the new track,' so I went in the studio I tried to do it and my saxophone is an old Selmer (tenor sax) from about 1954 or something and I didn't have that peak note. I didn't have a proper note on my saxophone, I had what nosotros call a fake fingering I had to do to play information technology. So it didn't really sound that smooth. It didn't sound that great. So having been around for a while, having had a bit of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took it down by a semitone, a very small corporeality, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and nosotros 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 again and I played it in a lower key and when later on I finished it I went back into the control room and he played it back and he put information technology dorsum up to the proper speed, and equally he was playing it back, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I think nosotros got information technology!' And then he pointed at me and said, 'You are number nine!'"
The officially released unmarried was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within two weeks information technology was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for three 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, "Ii Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Simply Chosen to Say I Love Yous", and Band Aid'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 Feb 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the superlative in America, the song was afterwards named Billboard 'south number-one vocal of 1985. The song was #1 on the smooth 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 it "was not an integral office of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that y'all tin can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a especially adept lyric—and it tin hateful then much to so many people. That's disillusioning for a writer."[xix]
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 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 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 Island. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a height flooring balustrade of Miami'south Grove Towers.[27] [28]
A offset original version of the video was edited with the Jerry Wexler 1983 version, and featured Andrew as a cameo, handing over a letter to a dark-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, just was then re-edited later.[29]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[30] According to Michael's co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so we had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain most ... 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."[31]
As the band felt they had "screwed up" the video, further footage of Michael singing the vocal onstage was later shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[30] The video functioning (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 Oct 2009. It has over 852 one thousand thousand views equally of 2022.
