The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered past a number of artists since its showtime release. It was released every bit a single and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling about 6 million copies worldwide—2 1000000 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, Bare, that he conceptualised "Devil-may-care 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. It always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where it start came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I retrieve I was handing the coin over to the guy on the omnibus and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote information technology totally in my head. I worked on information technology for about three months in my caput."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to accept to chaperone my sister, who was two years older, to an water ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl at that place with long blonde hair whose proper name was Jane. I was a fatty boy in glasses and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand a take chances. My sister used to go and do what she wanted when nosotros got to the skating rink and I would spend the afternoon swooning over this girl Jane."[viii]
"A few years after, when I was sixteen, I had my beginning human relationship with a daughter called Helen," Michael connected.
It had only started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in merely effectually the corner from my school. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and expect for my next-door neighbor, who used to requite me a lift home from school. And 1 day I saw her walk downwards the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come up from? She didn't know it was me. It 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 day when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in sky.[8]
Michael observed that after he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the daughter 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 beingness a ii-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a difficult time because they constitute out and they really liked the first girl. The whole thought of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out most the second – which she never did. But I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the i with Jane. It all got a bit complicated. Jane constitute out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, being this two-timer, but there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the first girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the vocal was nearly her. "Careless Whisper" was u.s. dancing, because nosotros danced a lot, and the idea was – nosotros are dancing ... only she knows ... and it'south finished.[eight]
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'south 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 alongside those for "Order Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Exercise)" in the front room of Ridgeley's abode (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC iv-track Portastudio. Because nigh of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'due south mother had returned home by that bespeak, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in i have very speedily. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum motorcar, an acoustic guitar (played past Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave West), with Michael's 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] [fourteen]
A more consummate and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, Holloway, London with a backing ring and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the aforementioned twenty-four hours, Michael and Ridgely were chosen over by 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:
"One of the nigh incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Careless Whisper' demoed properly, with a band, a sax and everything. It was ironic that nosotros signed the contract with Mark [Dean] that day, the day I finally believed we had number-ane cloth. That same mean solar day we signed it all away. But you can never really know what you lot are capable of, y'all can never really take that foresight."[15]
Production [edit]
The song went through at to the lowest degree two rounds of product. The first was during a trip Michael fabricated 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 song himself; the second version was the one ultimately released as a unmarried.
After the backing track and George's song had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[18] "He arrived at xi and should have been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after 2 hours, he was still there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the fashion George wanted it, the way information technology had been on the demo. Only that had been made two years before by a friend of George's who lived circular the corner and played sax for fun in the pub."[18]
While the saxophonist appeared to be playing the part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it'south however non correct, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him still again. "It has to twitch upwards a little but there! See...? And not besides much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is there really something George wants that's different from what the sax histrion is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things similar this earlier. There'south some tiny nuance that the sax histrion is somehow non getting correct. 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 so ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, nosotros just tin't have the risk of being impatient. But this sax thespian'southward non going to get it, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the year, every bit a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the UK and Japan.
The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" later on the Lodge Fantastic Megamix equally early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could finish the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "have the correct to grant the showtime license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to practise annihilation well-nigh the Social club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released textile. He said: "We knew how big that song could exist, so it was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[19] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not take made sense to release "Careless Whisper" equally a solo single in the center of the bout, despite it being function of the setlist.[20]
Michael later went back to London's Sarm West'south Studio two to re-record the track, the backbone 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 live.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the song'southward production and how it turned out in the stop:
"Jerry Wexler did 1 recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then nosotros re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and so we completely re-did the track most four weeks before information technology was due to be released. When we originally made it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first fourth dimension that I had ever felt like that about anybody that I'd worked with. Usually I have problem convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to go drunk in society to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions nigh whether the record was adept enough for the song and whether in that location was enough of me in it because it simply did non sound like me. I said 'it's smashing. Jerry'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 two and a one-half years old and I just did not have a clue about where else I could take it. Eventually I but thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and do information technology as if it had never been washed earlier with the musicians we commonly use and see what happens.' The track was much ameliorate because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much ameliorate job than the Musculus Shoals department". [22]
According to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a phone call to re-record the vocal's distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone player to record the solo, for Michael was determined to get the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians do non have much idea what they are going to be recording until they get in, and this was the case for Steve and some other saxophonist who was ahead of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
As usual there was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel proverb, 'it's only going to be some crappy B side anyway and so I'k off'. Steve waited and so discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written cardinal, equally his onetime Selmer Mark Half dozen tenor didn't take a meridian F♯ key. And so, the engineer slowed the tape downward so that Steve could record the solo a semitone lower than intended. One time the tape was put back to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone sound was created that sounded a scrap like an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, but lacking a flake more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had only arrived at the studio and said 'that'southward the one, that's the sax solo I want'. This could be downward 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 August 1984, entering the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within two weeks information technology was at number 1, catastrophe a ix-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number i for three weeks, going on to get the fifth best-selling single of 1984 in the U.k.; outsold only past the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Ii Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Love Yous", and Band Aid's "Exercise They Know Information technology'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 'southward number-one song of 1985. The song was #1 on the polish radio top 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 role of my emotional development ... information technology disappoints me that you tin can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a peculiarly good lyric—and information technology can mean so much to 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 album version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Upward Before You Go-Go") shows the guilt felt by a man (portrayed past 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[24] and features such locales as Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Isle. The terminal part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a pinnacle floor balcony of Miami'south Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A starting time 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 nighttime-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, just was then re-edited afterward.[27]
Co-ordinate 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 ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair and then he flew his sister over from England to cut it and nosotros had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
As the band felt they had "screwed upwards" the video, further footage of Michael singing the vocal 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 as of 2022.
