The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its beginning release. It was released every bit a unmarried and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number 1 in near 25 countries, selling about 6 million copies worldwide—ii 1000000 of them in the United States.[5]
Background [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working equally a DJ in the Bel Air eatery 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 manner 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 recall exactly where it start came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I recollect I was handing the money over to the guy on the jitney and I got this line, the sax line... I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on information technology for about three months in my head."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to take to chaperone my sister, who was 2 years older, to an water ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a daughter there with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a large crush on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sis used to become and do what she wanted when we got to the skating rink and I would spend the afternoon swooning over this daughter Jane."[viii]
"A few years after, when I was 16, I had my offset human relationship with a daughter called Helen," Michael continued.
It had simply started to absurd off a scrap when I discovered that the blonde daughter from Queensway had moved in just around the corner from my school. She had moved in correct next to where I used to stand and await for my side by side-door neighbour, who used to requite me a elevator home from school. And ane day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I idea – at present 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. 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 affair – and somewhen I started seeing her. She invited me in one mean solar day when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[viii]
Michael observed that after he stopped wearing spectacles, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't even encounter me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted.
So I went out with her for a couple of months just I didn't terminate seeing Helen. I thought I was being 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 found out and they actually liked the first girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first daughter finding out well-nigh the 2d – which she never did. But I started another relationship with a daughter called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a fleck complicated. Jane found out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I idea I was being cool, beingness this ii-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 song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because nosotros danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it's finished.[eight]
Andrew Ridgeley came upwards with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th altogether.[9] They continued to piece of work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt's basement apartment in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[9] [10]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 aslope those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Relish What You Do)" in the front room of Ridgeley'due south home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'southward TEAC four-track Portastudio. Because almost of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley'due south mother had returned dwelling by that betoken, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one have very chop-chop. It featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an audio-visual guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave Westward), with Michael's vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[11] [12] The overall cost of the recording was £twenty (largely due to the rental cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a deal with Innervision by Marking Dean on the forcefulness of the demos.[xiii] [xiv]
A more complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Center, Holloway, London with a backing band and a saxophone riff.[15] However, on the same twenty-four hour period, Michael and Ridgely were called 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 mean solar 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 nosotros signed the contract with Marker [Dean] that day, the twenty-four hour period I finally believed we had number-ane material. That same day we signed information technology all away. Just you lot can never really know what yous are capable of, you can never really take that foresight."[15]
Production [edit]
The song went through at least two rounds of production. The outset 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 one ultimately released equally a single.
Afterwards the bankroll track and George's vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone actor from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bong. "Instead, later two hours, he was all the same in that location while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He but couldn't play the opening riff the fashion George wanted it, the way it had been on the demo. Only that had been fabricated 2 years earlier 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, information technology's still non correct, you lot see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him however again. "It has to twitch upwardly a piffling merely at that place! Run across...? And non too much."[18]
Napier-Bong consulted with Wexler over Michael'south dispute with the sax sound. "Is there actually something George wants that'due south unlike from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bong asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
"I've seen things like this before. At that place's some tiny dash that the sax actor is somehow not getting right. Although you and I can't hear what it is, it may exist the very thing that will make the record a striking. The success of pop records is so ephemeral, and then unbelievably unpredictable, we simply can't accept the take a chance of being impatient. But this sax player's non going to get information technology, is he!"[18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the year, equally a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the Uk and Nihon.
The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Devil-may-care Whisper" after the Club Fantastic Megamix every bit early on as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could not stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the footing that as a publisher they "accept the right to grant the get-go 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 information technology was already released textile. He said: "We knew how big that vocal could be, then it was necessary to upset a few people to finish information technology."[19] Towards the cease of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, then according to him information technology would not have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" equally a solo single in the middle of the tour, despite information technology beingness office of the setlist.[xx]
Michael after went back to London's Sarm West's Studio 2 to re-tape the track, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in one accept, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] afterwards" as Michael added, although the feel of it was basically live.[21] [22]
Michael elaborated on the vocal's production and how it turned out in the finish:
"Jerry Wexler did ane recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. Then we re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and then we completely re-did the rail about 4 weeks before it was due to be released. When we originally made information technology I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the commencement time that I had ever felt similar that about anybody that I'd worked with. Unremarkably I accept trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this example I had to become drunkard in society to sing, I was so nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the tape was good enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it because it just did not sound similar me. I said 'it'southward 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 vocal was already two and a one-half years old and I just did not have a clue about where else I could have it. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and do it as if it had never been done before with the musicians we normally utilize and meet what happens.' The track was much better because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much better task than the Muscle Shoals section". [22]
After hiring and firing several other unlike sax players, for which the BBC characterized as struggling to play all the notes with "the right amount of fluidity and nevertheless exhale,"[23] Michael eventually heard what he was looking for from Steve Gregory.[24]
During an interview with DJ Danny Lord's day, Gregory said he was the ninth sax histrion to attempt the riff. Gregory said Michael's secretary had phoned him upwardly midday and asked him to give the solo a try.[25]
"When I got there, 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 upwardly. So Ray was a bit fed up. He said 'Well I'm going, you tin can practice it. I've had plenty of waiting.' And then he left and it was just myself, and (tape producer) Chris Porter. So I said I've had quite a long solar day, I'm going to do a better job now than I will at 3 o'clock in the morning, then tin we attempt and do 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 yous got to exercise and he played this and I thought 'That is fantastic, why on Earth does he desire to do it again? I can't play information technology too as that!' And (Porter) said 'Oh, it'due south a new version, he's done his own production, information technology's a new track, 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 top note. I didn't have a proper note on my saxophone, I had what nosotros phone call a faux fingering I had to practise to play it. So it didn't really sound that shine. Information technology didn't sound that great. And and then having been around for a while, having had a scrap of experience, I suggested to him, I said, 'look, if you took information technology down by a semitone, a very minor amount, I'd have all the proper notes on my horn and we could see how it sounds. And then that'due south what he did, he sort of did his calculations and took it down a semitone, then I went out again and I played it in a lower central and when after I finished it I went back into the control room and he played it back and he put it back up to the proper speed, and equally he was playing it back, George walked into the studio, and he said 'Oh, I recollect we got it!' Then he pointed at me and said, 'You are number nine!'"
The officially released unmarried was issued in Baronial 1984, entering the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number i, catastrophe a nine-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" past Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[four] It stayed at number one for 3 weeks, going on to become the fifth best-selling single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold simply by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Chosen to Say I Love You", and Band Aid'south "Do They Know Information technology's Christmas?". The vocal too topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the Us in Feb 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending iii weeks at the top in America, the song was later named Billboard 'due south number-one vocal of 1985. The song was #1 on the smooth 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 it "was non an integral role of my emotional development ... information technology disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a specially good lyric—and it tin can mean so much to so many people. That'southward disillusioning for a author."[19]
Music video [edit]
The official music video (which uses the shorter single version instead of the total album version and was directed by Duncan Gibbins, who previously directed "Wake Me Up Before You lot Go-Go") shows the guilt felt by a man (portrayed past Michael) over an matter, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to find out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the adult female who lures George away. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[26] and features such locales equally Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Island. The terminal part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a height flooring balcony of Miami's Grove Towers.[27] [28]
A first 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 dark-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, but was then re-edited later.[29]
Co-ordinate to producer Jon Roseman, product of the video was "A fucking disaster".[xxx] According to Michael's co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene and then we had to reshoot it, which I didn't mutter about ... And then George decided he didn't like his hair then he flew his sister over from England to cut it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[31]
As the band felt they had "screwed up" the video, further footage of Michael singing the song onstage was afterward shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[30] The video functioning (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube aqueduct on 24 October 2009. It has over 852 meg views equally of 2022.
