"Careless Whisper" is a song by the English vocalist George Michael. It was written past Michael and Andrew Ridgeley[4] 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 starting time release. Information technology was released as a single and became a huge commercial success effectually the earth. It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling near vi million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United States.[five]

Groundwork [edit]

Limerick and writing [edit]

In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ in the Bel Air restaurant about Bushey, Hertfordshire.[6] Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, that he conceptualised "Devil-may-care Whisper" based on events from his childhood. Michael wrote, "I was on my style to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Careless Whisper'. I have e'er written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I think exactly where it start came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I remember 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."[7]

"When I was twelve, 13, 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 in that location with long blonde hair whose proper name was Jane. I was a fat boy 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 girl Jane."[viii]

"A few years subsequently, when I was sixteen, I had my first human relationship with a girl chosen Helen," Michael continued.

It had just started to cool off a chip when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in but around the corner from my school. She had moved in right side by side to where I used to stand and expect for my adjacent-door neighbour, who used to requite me a lift domicile from school. And one day I saw her walk down 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 later and I looked a lot different. And so 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 day 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 even see 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 finish seeing Helen. I idea I was being smart – I had gone from beingness a total loser to being a two-timer. And I remember my sisters used to requite me a hard time considering they found out and they really liked the first girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the starting time girl finding out about the second – which she never did. Just I started some other relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a scrap complicated. Jane plant out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, beingness this ii-timer, just there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty virtually the commencement daughter – and I take seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Devil-may-care Whisper" was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the thought was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and information technology's finished.[8]

Andrew Ridgeley came up with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th birthday.[9] They connected to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt's 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 aslope those for "Social club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Practise)" in the front room of Ridgeley's dwelling (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'due south TEAC four-track Portastudio. Considering most of the twenty-four hours was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'south mother had returned dwelling by that indicate, Devil-may-care Whisper had to exist recorded in one take very apace. It featured a Physician Rhythm drum machine, an audio-visual guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played past Dave West), with Michael'southward vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[xi] [12] The overall price of the recording was £twenty (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.[xiii] [14]

A more than consummate and fully realised 2nd demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Center, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[15] Even so, on the same twenty-four hour period, Michael and Ridgely were chosen over by Dean to sign a contract in addition to the tape bargain, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that day:

"One 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 day I finally believed we had number-one material. That same day we signed it all away. Simply you can never really know what you lot are capable of, you tin can never actually accept that foresight."[15]

Production [edit]

The vocal went through at to the lowest degree two rounds of product. The first was during a trip Michael made 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 past Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the song himself; the 2d version was the one ultimately released as a single.

Afterward the bankroll runway and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[xviii] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, afterward two hours, he was still there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He only couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the way information technology 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 exist playing the role perfectly, Michael told him, "No, information technology'southward however not right, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet again. "It has to twitch upward a piffling just there! See...? And not too much."[18]

Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael'due south dispute with the sax sound. "Is in that location really something George wants that's different from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.

"I've seen things similar this before. There's some tiny nuance that the sax histrion is somehow not getting right. Although you and I can't hear what information technology is, information technology may be the very affair that will brand the record a hit. The success of popular records is so ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, nosotros just can't take the adventure of being impatient. Simply this sax thespian'south not going to become information technology, is he!"[18]

The version Wexler produced was released later in the yr, every bit a (iv:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the UK and Nippon.

The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Devil-may-care Whisper" later on the Club Fantastic Megamix as early equally 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non cease the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the basis that every bit a publisher they "have the right to grant the kickoff license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything about the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released material. He said: "Nosotros knew how big that song could be, and then information technology was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[19] Towards the finish of 1983, Michael was as well committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so co-ordinate to him information technology would non take made sense to release "Devil-may-care Whisper" as a solo single in the middle of the bout, despite information technology being function of the setlist.[20]

Michael subsequently went back to London's Sarm West'south Studio ii to re-record the track, the courage of which was done with a live rhythm section in 1 accept, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] afterwards" every bit Michael added, although the feel of it was basically live.[21] [22]

Michael elaborated on the vocal'south production 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 so nosotros completely re-did the track about four weeks before information technology was due to be released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and information technology was the first time that I had ever felt like that nigh anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this example I had to get boozer in order to sing, I was then nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions nearly whether the record was good enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in information technology because it just did not sound like me. I said 'it'due south great. Jerry's done a nifty job on it', and for the first fourth dimension since nosotros'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already 2 and a half years old and I just did not take a inkling near where else I could have information technology. Eventually I just idea, 'sod this. I'm going to get in and do information technology as if information technology had never been done earlier with the musicians we normally apply and run across what happens.' The rail was much better because I was relaxed and I recollect that our musicians did a much better job than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]

Subsequently hiring and firing several other different sax players, for which the BBC characterized as struggling to play all the notes with "the right amount of fluidity and still exhale,"[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 9th sax player to attempt the riff. Gregory said Michael's secretary had phoned him up midday and asked him to requite the solo a attempt.[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'thou going, you can do it. I've had plenty of waiting.' So he left and it was but myself, and (tape producer) Chris Porter. And then I said I've had quite a long day, I'm going to do a better job now than I will at 3 o'clock in the morning, so can we try and do something? And 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 idea 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he want to do it over again? I can't play it as well as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it's a new version, he's done his ain production, information technology's a new rails, it'due south got to be re-done, he just needs that on the new rails,' so I went in the studio I tried to do it and my saxophone is an old Selmer (tenor sax) from almost 1954 or something and I didn't have that peak note. I didn't take a proper note on my saxophone, I had what nosotros call a fake fingering I had to do to play it. So it didn't actually sound that shine. Information technology didn't sound that great. Then having been around for a while, having had a flake of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'expect, if y'all took information technology down past a semitone, a very pocket-size corporeality, 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 it down a semitone, so I went out again 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 back up to the proper speed, and every bit he was playing it back, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I recall nosotros got information technology!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'You are number 9!'"

The officially released single was issued in August 1984, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number ane, ending a nine-week run at the superlative for "2 Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to become the 5th acknowledged 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 Just Called to Say I Love You", and Ring Assist's "Practise They Know Information technology's Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in February 1985 nether the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending 3 weeks at the meridian in America, the song was later named Billboard 's number-ane song of 1985. The vocal was #1 on the smoothen radio top 500 songs of all fourth dimension 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 office of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly good lyric—and it can hateful and then much to and so many people. That's disillusioning for a author."[19]

Music video [edit]

The official music video (which uses the shorter single version instead of the full anthology version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before Yous Go-Get") shows the guilt felt by a homo (portrayed past Michael) over an matter, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to observe out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George away. Information technology was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[26] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The final office of the video shows Michael leaning out of a acme floor balustrade of Miami's Grove Towers.[27] [28]

A get-go 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 than detailed storyline, but was then re-edited afterward.[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 information technology, which I didn't mutter about ... And so George decided he didn't like his pilus and so he flew his sister over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]

Equally 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.[30] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 million views as of 2022.
