The vocal features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a number of artists since its first release. Information technology was released as a single and became a huge commercial success effectually the world. It reached number one in most 25 countries, selling well-nigh 6 million copies worldwide—two million of them in the United States.[5]
Groundwork [edit]
Composition and writing [edit]
In 1981, Michael was working every bit 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 manner to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Careless Whisper'. I take always written on buses, trains and in cars. Information technology always happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I call back 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 caput. I worked on it for about 3 months in my head."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was two years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a girl there with long blonde pilus whose name was Jane. I was a fat boy in spectacles and I had a big shell on her - though I didn't stand up a adventure. My sister used to go and practice what she wanted when we got to the skating rink and I would spend the afternoon swooning over this girl Jane."[eight]
"A few years afterwards, when I was xvi, I had my first relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued.
It had just started to cool off a fleck when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in only around the corner from my school. She had moved in correct next to where I used to stand up and wait for my next-door neighbour, who used to requite me a lift home from school. And one solar day I saw her walk downwards the path next to me and I thought – 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. By this fourth dimension she was that much older and a big buxom affair – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in 1 twenty-four hour period when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[viii]
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.
Then I went out with her for a couple of months but I didn't stop seeing Helen. I idea I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a ii-timer. And I retrieve my sisters used to requite me a hard time because they institute out and they really liked the offset girl. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out almost the 2d – 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 scrap complicated. Jane constitute out about her and got rid of me ... The whole fourth dimension I thought I was existence absurd, being this ii-timer, but there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did experience guilty virtually the starting time girl – and I have seen her since – and the thought of the song was almost her. "Careless Whisper" was united states of america dancing, because nosotros danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and information technology's finished.[viii]
Andrew Ridgeley came up with the chord sequence on his Fender Telecaster he had received for his 18th birthday.[9] They continued to work together on the music and lyric both at Michael's house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'due south aunt's basement apartment in Peckham, where Ridgeley was living.[ix] [10]
Demoing [edit]
The original demo was recorded by local music producer Paul Mex, in January 1982 alongside those for "Social club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Savor What Yous Do)" in the forepart room of Ridgeley's abode (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'south TEAC four-runway Portastudio. Because most of the day was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned home by that signal, Devil-may-care Whisper had to be recorded in one take very quickly. Information technology featured a Doctor Rhythm drum machine, an audio-visual guitar (played by 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 cost of the Portastudio) and the duo landed a bargain with Innervision by Mark Dean on the strength of the demos.[13] [14]
A more complete and fully realised second demo was recorded on 24 March 1982 at Halligan Band Centre, 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 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 we signed the contract with Marker [Dean] that day, the day I finally believed we had number-one material. That same day we signed it all away. Simply yous can never really know what you are capable of, you can never actually have that foresight."[xv]
Product [edit]
The song went through at least 2 rounds of production. The commencement 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-tape and produce the song himself; the second version was the i ultimately released as a single.
After the backing rails and George'southward vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the meridian saxophone actor from Los Angeles to fly in and do the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should accept been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! managing director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after two hours, he was still at that place while everyone in the studio shuddered with embarrassment. He just couldn't play the opening riff the way George wanted it, the way information technology had been on the demo. Only that had been made two years earlier past 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, yous encounter..." and he would lower his caput to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the part to him yet again. "Information technology has to twitch upward a petty just in that location! See...? And not too much."[18]
Napier-Bong consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax sound. "Is there really something George wants that'south unlike from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like this before. There'south some tiny nuance that the sax player is somehow non getting right. Although y'all and I can't hear what it is, it may be the very affair that will make the record a striking. The success of pop records is and so imperceptible, and then unbelievably unpredictable, nosotros merely can't take the risk of beingness impatient. But this sax player's not going to get it, is he![eighteen]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the twelvemonth, every bit a (4:41) B-side "Special Version" on 12" in the Great britain and Nippon.
The record label Innervision was going to put out the Wexler version of "Devil-may-care 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 Social club Fantastic Megamix, he could stop the release of this single on the footing that as a publisher they "have the right to grant the outset license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright". He was unable to practice anything about the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was already released fabric. He said: "We knew how large that vocal could exist, so information technology was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[nineteen] Towards the terminate of 1983, Michael was also committed to touring with Wham! to promote Fantastic, so according to him it would non have fabricated sense to release "Careless Whisper" as a solo single in the eye of the tour, despite it existence office of the setlist.[twenty]
Michael later went dorsum to London's Sarm W's Studio 2 to re-record the rails, the courage 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 experience of it was basically live.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the vocal's production and how it turned out in the end:
"Jerry Wexler did i recording of "Careless Whisper" with me. And so nosotros re-mixed that, which meant re-shooting the video and then we completely re-did the rail nearly iv weeks before information technology was due to be released. When we originally fabricated information technology I was totally in awe of Jerry Wexler and it was the offset time that I had ever felt similar that virtually 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 drunk in order to sing, I was and so nervous. Anyway, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was skilful enough for the song and whether there was enough of me in it because it just did not sound like me. I said 'it'due south neat. Jerry'south washed a great job on it', and for the outset fourth dimension since we'd started I was blind to what was going on because the song was already ii and a half years erstwhile and I but did not have a inkling about where else I could take it. Eventually I merely idea, 'sod this. I'm going to go in and exercise information technology as if it had never been done earlier with the musicians we normally apply and see what happens.' The track was much better because I was relaxed and I think 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 call to re-tape the song'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 do non have much idea what they are going to be recording until they arrive, and this was the instance for Steve and another saxophonist who was ahead of him in the (queue)", Forshaw recalled.
Equally usual there was a lot of waiting around and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel proverb, 'information technology's only going to exist some crappy B side anyhow then I'm off'. Steve waited so discovered that the solo wasn't that like shooting fish in a barrel to play in the written cardinal, every bit his old Selmer Mark Vi tenor didn't take a top F♯ key. So, 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 fleck similar an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, merely defective a bit more depth and darkness to the sound. George Michael had just arrived at the studio and said 'that's the ane, that's the sax solo I want'. This could be downwards to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or just that George never recognized it was 'incorrect'.[23]
The officially released single was issued in Baronial 1984, entering the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the top for "Ii Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.[4] Information technology stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to become the fifth best-selling single of 1984 in the U.k.; outsold only by the ii Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Ii Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Simply Called to Say I Love Y'all", and Band Aid's "Do They Know Information technology's Christmas?". The song as well 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 tiptop in America, the song was later named Billboard 's number-1 song of 1985. The song was #1 on the smooth radio top 500 songs of all time nautical 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 part of my emotional evolution ... information technology disappoints me that y'all can write a lyric very flippantly—and non a peculiarly good lyric—and it can mean so much to then many people. That'due south disillusioning for a writer."[xix]
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 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 abroad. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in February 1984[24] and features such locales as Coconut Grove and Watson Island. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a acme floor balcony of Miami's 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 night-haired George. This version had a more than detailed storyline, but was then re-edited later.[27]
According to producer Jon Roseman, product of the video was "A fucking disaster".[28] Co-ordinate 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 well-nigh ... And then George decided he didn't like his hair so he flew his sister over from England to cut it and nosotros had to reshoot more scenes."[29]
Every bit the ring felt they had "screwed up" the video, farther footage of Michael singing the song onstage was later on shot at the Lyceum Theatre, London.[28] The video performance (1984 Version) was officially uploaded to George Michael YouTube aqueduct on 24 October 2009. Information technology has over 834 million views as of 2022.
