The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its get-go release. It was released equally a single and became a huge commercial success around the globe. It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling most 6 million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the United states of america.[5]
Background [edit]
Limerick 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 childhood. Michael wrote, "I was on my way to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Careless Whisper'. I have always written on buses, trains and in cars. Information technology always happens on journeys... With 'Devil-may-care Whisper' I recollect exactly where information technology first came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I call up I was handing the coin over to the guy on the motorbus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote information technology totally in my caput. I worked on it for nearly iii months in my head."[seven]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to take to chaperone my sis, who was two years older, to an water 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 spectacles and I had a big beat out on her - though I didn't stand up a chance. 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."[viii]
"A few years later, when I was xvi, I had my outset relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued.
Information technology had merely started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in but around the corner from my school. She had moved in right adjacent to where I used to stand and await for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift home from school. And one day I saw her walk downward the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come up from? She didn't know information technology was me. Information technology was a few years later and I looked a lot different. 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 affair – 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 glasses, 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 only I didn't stop seeing Helen. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a two-timer. And I recall my sisters used to give me a difficult time because they found out and they really liked the get-go girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the outset girl finding out about the 2d – which she never did. Simply I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. Information technology all got a bit complicated. Jane found out well-nigh her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was beingness cool, beingness this ii-timer, only there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the kickoff girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was well-nigh her. "Careless Whisper" was u.s.a. dancing, because nosotros danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it's finished.[viii]
Andrew Ridgeley came up with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th altogether.[9] They connected to piece of work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt's basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[nine] [10]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded past local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 aslope those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Relish What You Exercise)" in the front room of Ridgeley'due south home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'southward TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Considering most of the solar day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'south mother had returned dwelling house by that betoken, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in 1 accept very quickly. It featured a Doc Rhythm drum car, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by 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 £xx (largely due to the rental cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[13] [xiv]
A more than consummate and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Ring Eye, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the same 24-hour interval, Michael and Ridgely were called over by Dean to sign a contract in addition to the record bargain, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that 24-hour interval:
"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 twenty-four hour period, the day I finally believed nosotros had number-one material. That same day we signed it all away. But you can never really know what you are capable of, you can never really have 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 by Wexler, and decided to re-record and produce the vocal himself; the second version was the one ultimately released as a unmarried.
After the backing track and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the acme saxophone histrion from Los Angeles to fly in and exercise the solo.[xviii] "He arrived at 11 and should have been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! managing director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was notwithstanding at that place while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He merely couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the mode it had been on the demo. Simply that had been fabricated 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 office perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's still not right, you see..." and he would lower his caput to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him nevertheless again. "Information technology has to twitch upwards a little only in that location! Encounter...? And not too much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is at that place really something George wants that's dissimilar from what the sax role 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 thespian is somehow not getting right. Although you and I tin't hear what information technology is, information technology may exist the very thing that volition make the tape a hit. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, we just tin't have the risk of beingness impatient. But this sax actor'due south not going to get it, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released subsequently in the year, as a (iv:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the Great britain 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 Club Fantastic Megamix, he could terminate the release of this single on the basis that equally a publisher they "have the correct to grant the commencement license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to exercise anything about the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released material. He said: "We knew how big that song could be, and then 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, then according to him it would not accept made sense to release "Careless Whisper" equally a solo single in the center of the tour, despite it being function of the setlist.[20]
Michael later went back to London'south Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-record the runway, the courage of which was done with a live rhythm section in one take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] after" as Michael added, although the experience of information technology was basically alive.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the song'south production and how information technology turned out in the stop:
"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. And then nosotros re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and then we completely re-did the rail virtually 4 weeks before information technology was due to be released. When nosotros originally made information technology I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and information technology was the get-go time that I had ever felt like that about anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to become drunkard in gild to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions nigh whether the record was skilful plenty for the vocal and whether at that place was enough of me in it because it just did not sound like me. I said 'it'southward bully. Jerry's done a great job on it', and for the first time since we'd started I was blind to what was going on considering the song was already two and a half years former and I but did non have a clue about where else I could take information technology. Eventually I merely thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and do it as if it had never been done before with the musicians nosotros unremarkably use and see what happens.' The track was much better considering I was relaxed and I call up 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 phone call to re-record the vocal'southward distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone player to record the solo, for Michael was adamant to get the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do not accept much thought what they are going to be recording until they make it, and this was the case for Steve and another saxophonist who was ahead of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
As usual in that location was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front end of Steve threw in the towel maxim, 'it'south only going to be some crappy B side anyway then I'm off'. Steve waited and then discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written fundamental, as his sometime Selmer Marker Vi tenor didn't have a top F♯ fundamental. And so, the engineer slowed the record downwardly so that Steve could record 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 flake like an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, only lacking a bit more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had only arrived at the studio and said 'that's the ane, that'south the sax solo I want'. This could exist down 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 Baronial 1984, entering the Britain Singles Chart at number 12. Within 2 weeks it was at number one, catastrophe a ix-week run at the top for "Ii Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number i for three weeks, going on to go the fifth best-selling single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold merely by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "2 Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Beloved You", and Ring Aid's "Do They Know Information technology's Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.s. in Feb 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending 3 weeks at the elevation in America, the song was afterwards named Billboard 's number-ane song of 1985. The song was #1 on the shine radio height 500 songs of all fourth dimension chart – proving its iconic status.
Despite the success, Michael was never addicted of the song. He said in 1991 that it "was non an integral role of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that yous can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a especially skilful lyric—and it can mean so much to and so 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 past Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before Yous Go-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 abroad. Information technology was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[24] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Isle. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a elevation floor balcony of Miami'southward Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A start 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 night-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, but was then re-edited later.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] 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 about ... So George decided he didn't similar his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cutting it and nosotros had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
As the band 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 operation (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 October 2009. It has over 834 one thousand thousand views every bit of 2022.
