The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered past a number of artists since its first release. It was released equally a unmarried and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling almost half dozen million copies worldwide—2 million of them in the U.s.a..[5]
Background [edit]
Limerick 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 "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 ever written on buses, trains and in cars. Information technology e'er happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where it kickoff came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I think I was handing the coin 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 caput."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to take to chaperone my sister, who was ii years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a daughter there with long blonde pilus whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in spectacles and I had a big crush on her - though I didn't stand 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 daughter Jane."[8]
"A few years later on, when I was xvi, I had my get-go human relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued.
It had but started to cool off a fleck when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in just around the corner from my schoolhouse. She had moved in correct next to where I used to stand and wait for my side by side-door neighbor, who used to requite me a lift domicile from school. And 1 day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I idea – now where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years after and I looked a lot dissimilar. And so we played a schoolhouse disco with The Executive and she saw me singing and decided she fancied me. Past this fourth dimension 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 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.
And then I went out with her for a couple of months but I didn't cease seeing Helen. I idea I was beingness smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a two-timer. And I remember my sisters used to give me a hard fourth dimension because they constitute out and they actually liked the first daughter. The whole thought of "Careless Whisper" was the start girl finding out about 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 flake complicated. Jane establish out nigh her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was being cool, beingness this two-timer, but there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty nigh the showtime girl – and I take seen her since – and the idea of the song was almost her. "Careless Whisper" was u.s. dancing, considering we danced a lot, and the thought was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and information technology'due south 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 piece of work together on the music and lyric both at Michael'due south business firm 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 aslope those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Exercise)" in the front room of Ridgeley's home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Because nigh of the solar day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'southward mother had returned dwelling by that bespeak, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one take very rapidly. It featured a Doctor Rhythm pulsate automobile, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave West), with Michael'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.[thirteen] [14]
A more than complete 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.[fifteen] However, on the aforementioned 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 twenty-four hours:
"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 nosotros signed the contract with Mark [Dean] that day, the day I finally believed we had number-ane material. That same solar day we signed it all away. Simply you tin can never really know what you are capable of, you can never actually have that foresight."[fifteen]
Production [edit]
The vocal went through at least ii rounds of production. The commencement was during a trip Michael fabricated to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to work with producer Jerry Wexler at Muscle Shoals Audio 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 second version was the ane ultimately released as a unmarried.
After the backing track and George'south vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and practise the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was withal there while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the manner George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. But 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 exist playing the part perfectly, Michael told him, "No, it's still not right, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him nevertheless again. "Information technology has to twitch upwards a piddling merely there! Run across...? And not too much."[18]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax audio. "Is there really something George wants that's dissimilar from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bong asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like this before. There'south some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow not getting right. Although you and I can't hear what information technology is, it may be the very thing that will brand the record a hit. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, then unbelievably unpredictable, we only can't take the run a risk of existence impatient. Just this sax player'southward not going to get it, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released after in the year, every bit a (iv:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the UK and Japan.
The tape label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" after the Lodge Fantastic Megamix equally early as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non stop the release of the Lodge Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this unmarried on the basis that equally a publisher they "have the right to grant the showtime license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to practice anything near the Club Fantastic Megamix considering it was already released material. He said: "We knew how big that vocal could be, and then it was necessary to upset a few people to stop information technology."[nineteen] Towards the end of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would not accept made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo unmarried in the heart of the tour, despite it existence office of the setlist.[20]
Michael later went back to London's Sarm Westward'south Studio 2 to re-record the rail, the backbone 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 it was basically live.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the song'south product and how it turned out in the end:
"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 track about four weeks before it was due to be released. When we originally fabricated it I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the first time that I had ever felt like that about anybody that I'd worked with. Commonly I have problem convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this example I had to get boozer in gild to sing, I was so nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was proficient plenty for the song and whether there was enough of me in information technology because it merely did not sound similar me. I said 'it'southward great. Jerry'due south done a great job on it', and for the kickoff fourth dimension since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already 2 and a half years quondam and I just did non have a inkling virtually where else I could take information technology. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'1000 going to go in and do information technology every bit if it had never been done before with the musicians we usually use and see what happens.' The runway was much better because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much ameliorate chore than the Muscle Shoals department". [22]
According to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a call to re-record the vocal's distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone player to record the solo, for Michael was determined to become the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians practice not have much idea what they are going to be recording until they arrive, and this was the case for Steve and another 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 merely going to exist some crappy B side anyhow so I'thousand off'. Steve waited and so discovered that the solo wasn't that like shooting fish in a barrel to play in the written key, as his onetime Selmer Mark Vi tenor didn't have a top F♯ central. So, the engineer slowed the tape down and then 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 chip like an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, only lacking a scrap more than depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had merely arrived at the studio and said 'that's the 1, that's the sax solo I want'. This could be downwards to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or merely that George never recognized it was 'incorrect'.[23]
The officially released single was issued in Baronial 1984, entering the United kingdom Singles Chart at number 12. Within two weeks information technology was at number one, ending a 9-week run at the pinnacle for "Ii Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number ane for three weeks, going on to become the 5th all-time-selling unmarried of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold only by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Merely Called to Say I Dear You lot", and Band Aid's "Do They Know Information technology'southward 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 vocal was later named Billboard 's number-one vocal of 1985. The song was #ane on the smooth radio top 500 songs of all time chart – proving its iconic condition.
Despite the success, Michael was never addicted of the song. He said in 1991 that information technology "was not an integral office of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that y'all can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly practiced lyric—and it tin hateful so much to and so many people. That'due south disillusioning for a author."[nineteen]
Music video [edit]
The official music video (which uses the shorter unmarried version instead of the full album version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go") shows the guilt felt past a man (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to observe 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 Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The terminal office of the video shows Michael leaning out of a elevation floor balustrade of Miami'south Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A start 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 so re-edited later.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] According to Michael'south co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so nosotros had to reshoot it, which I didn't complain 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."[29]
As the ring felt they had "screwed up" the video, farther footage of Michael singing the song onstage was later shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[28] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube channel on 24 Oct 2009. It has over 834 million views as of 2022.
