The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered past a number of artists since its showtime release. It was released equally a single and became a huge commercial success around the globe. It reached number ane in nigh 25 countries, selling virtually six 1000000 copies worldwide—two million of them in the Usa.[5]
Groundwork [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working as 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. It e'er happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I recollect exactly where it first 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 information technology totally in my head. I worked on it for about iii months in my head."[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 girl there 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 a run a risk. 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."[8]
"A few years later, when I was xvi, I had my first relationship with a girl chosen Helen," Michael continued.
Information technology had just started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in but around the corner from my schoolhouse. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and look for my next-door neighbour, who used to requite me a lift dwelling from schoolhouse. And one twenty-four hour period 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 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 matter – and somewhen I started seeing her. She invited me in one day when I was waiting for my elevator and I was ... in heaven.[8]
Michael observed that after he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the daughter who didn't fifty-fifty meet 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 stop seeing Helen. I idea I was existence smart – I had gone from existence a total loser to being a ii-timer. And I recollect my sisters used to give me a hard fourth dimension because they institute out and they really liked the first girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out about the second – which she never did. But I started some other relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. It all got a flake complicated. Jane found out nigh her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was beingness cool, beingness this two-timer, merely at that place actually wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty almost the first daughter – and I have seen her since – and the thought of the song was about her. "Careless Whisper" was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it'south finished.[8]
Andrew Ridgeley came up with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th altogether.[9] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's firm in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman's aunt'south basement flat in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[9] [10]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in Jan 1982 alongside those for "Guild Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Relish What You Practice)" in the front room of Ridgeley's dwelling house (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex's TEAC 4-track Portastudio. Considering most of the solar day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned domicile by that point, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one take very quickly. It featured a Physician Rhythm drum machine, an acoustic guitar (played by Ridgeley) and a bass guitar (played by Dave Due west), with Michael's vocal (recorded with a microphone attached to a broom handle).[11] [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 Marking Dean on the strength of the demos.[13] [fourteen]
A more complete and fully realised 2nd demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Center, Holloway, London with a bankroll ring and a saxophone riff.[xv] However, on the same day, Michael and Ridgely were chosen over past Dean to sign a contract in addition to the tape bargain, which they did at a nearby greasy spoon café. Michael recalls of that twenty-four hour period:
"One of the nigh incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Careless Whisper' demoed properly, with a ring, a sax and everything. It was ironic that nosotros signed the contract with Marking [Dean] that mean solar day, the mean solar day I finally believed we had number-one cloth. That aforementioned solar day we signed it all away. But you tin never really know what you are capable of, you tin can never really have that foresight."[xv]
Production [edit]
The song went through at least two rounds of production. The first was during a trip Michael made to Sheffield, Alabama, where he went to piece of 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 single.
Afterwards the backing track and George'due south vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the top saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and practice the solo.[eighteen] "He arrived at eleven and should take been gone by twelve", recalled Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after 2 hours, he was still there while anybody in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the fashion information technology had been on the demo. But that had been fabricated ii 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, it's still not right, you see..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet again. "Information technology has to twitch up a little just there! See...? And not likewise much."[eighteen]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is there actually something George wants that'southward unlike from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[xviii] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like this before. At that place's some tiny nuance that the sax thespian is somehow not getting right. Although y'all and I can't hear what it is, it may be the very thing that will brand the record a striking. The success of pop records is and then ephemeral, so unbelievably unpredictable, nosotros just tin't take the risk of being impatient. Simply this sax player'southward not going to get it, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the yr, as a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the Britain and Japan.
The record characterization Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Careless Whisper" subsequently the Club Fantastic Megamix as early on as 1983. Song publisher Dick Leahy said that while he could non cease the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix, he could end the release of this unmarried on the ground that as a publisher they "have the right to grant the first license of the recording of a melody of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to do anything about the Club Fantastic Megamix because information technology was already released fabric. 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 stop of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him information technology would not have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo unmarried in the middle of the tour, despite information technology being function of the setlist.[twenty]
Michael later went back to London's Sarm West'southward Studio 2 to re-record the rail, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in 1 take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] afterwards" as Michael added, although the feel of information technology was basically live.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the song'due south product and how it turned out in the finish:
"Jerry Wexler did one recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. 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 made information technology I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the commencement time that I had ever felt like that about everyone that I'd worked with. Usually I have trouble convincing myself that people know what they're doing. In this case I had to get drunk in order to sing, I was so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions well-nigh whether the record was proficient enough for the vocal and whether there was enough of me in it because information technology simply did non sound similar me. I said 'it'south great. Jerry'southward done a great task on it', and for the get-go time since we'd started I was bullheaded to what was going on because the song was already 2 and a half years old and I just did not have a clue well-nigh where else I could take it. Eventually I merely thought, 'sod this. I'm going to become in and practise it every bit if it had never been done before with the musicians we ordinarily use and encounter what happens.' The track was much improve because I was relaxed and I think that our musicians did a much ameliorate job than the Muscle Shoals department". [22]
According to English jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a phone call to re-tape the song'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 exercise not have 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 there was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'it'south only going to be some crappy B side anyhow so I'm off'. Steve waited and so discovered that the solo wasn't that piece of cake to play in the written key, as his one-time Selmer Mark VI tenor didn't take a acme F♯ key. And then, the engineer slowed the tape down so that Steve could record the solo a semitone lower than intended. Once the tape was put back to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone audio was created that sounded a flake similar an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, but lacking a bit more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had simply arrived at the studio and said 'that's the i, that's the sax solo I want'. This could be down to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or simply that George never recognized it was 'wrong'.[23]
The officially released unmarried was issued in Baronial 1984, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 12. Within ii weeks information technology was at number ane, ending a 9-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] It stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to become the fifth all-time-selling single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; outsold just by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Ii Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Love You", and Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?". The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the Usa in February 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the top in America, the song was later named Billboard 's number-ane song of 1985. The song was #ane on the smooth radio top 500 songs of all time nautical chart – proving its iconic status.
Despite the success, Michael was never fond of the song. He said in 1991 that it "was not an integral part of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you lot tin can write a lyric very flippantly—and non a specially good 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 You Become-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 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 Island. The terminal office of the video shows Michael leaning out of a height floor balustrade of Miami'due south Grove Towers.[25] [26]
A outset 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, but was so re-edited later.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, production of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] According to Michael'southward co-star Lisa Stahl, "They lost footage of our kissing scene so we had to reshoot information technology, which I didn't complain nearly ... Then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cutting it and we had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
As the band 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 October 2009. It has over 834 million views as of 2022.
