It was released equally a unmarried and became a huge commercial success around the world. It reached number ane in nearly 25 countries, selling about 6 1000000 copies worldwide—two 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.[6] 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 e'er written on buses, trains and in cars. It ever happens on journeys... With 'Careless Whisper' I remember 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 passenger vehicle 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 head."[7]
"When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sis, who was ii years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. "There was a daughter there with long blonde hair whose proper noun was Jane. I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a large beat out on her - though I didn't stand a chance. My sister used to become and exercise 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 subsequently, when I was sixteen, I had my first relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael connected.
It had just started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in just effectually the corner from my schoolhouse. She had moved in correct next to where I used to stand up and wait for my adjacent-door neighbor, who used to requite me a lift home from school. And 1 solar day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I thought – at present where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. It was a few years later and I looked a lot different. Then we played a schoolhouse 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 matter – and eventually I started seeing her. She invited me in 1 day when I was waiting for my lift and I was ... in heaven.[eight]
Michael observed that after he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. "And the girl who didn't even run across 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 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 difficult fourth dimension considering they found out and they really liked the first girl. The whole thought of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out about the 2d – which she never did. But I started some other relationship with a girl chosen Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. Information technology all got a bit complicated. Jane found out about her and got rid of me ... The whole time I thought I was existence cool, being this two-timer, just there really wasn't that much emotion involved. I did feel guilty about the get-go daughter – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. "Devil-may-care Whisper" was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing ... but she knows ... and it's 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'south house in Radlett, and Shirlie Holliman'southward aunt'southward 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 aslope those for "Club Tropicana" and "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What Yous Exercise)" in the forepart room of Ridgeley'south home (his parents' lounge turned into a makeshift studio) with Mex'south TEAC 4-rails Portastudio. Because most of the twenty-four hour period was spent on Wham Rap!... and Ridgeley's mother had returned dwelling house past that bespeak, Careless Whisper had to be recorded in one take very quickly. It featured a Physician Rhythm drum car, an acoustic 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).[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.[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 aforementioned 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 twenty-four hours:
"I of the about incredible moments of my life was hearing 'Devil-may-care Whisper' demoed properly, with a band, a sax and everything. It was ironic that we signed the contract with Marking [Dean] that solar day, the day I finally believed we had number-1 material. That aforementioned twenty-four hours nosotros signed information technology all abroad. Only you can never really know what y'all are capable of, you lot can never really have that foresight."[15]
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 Audio 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 2nd version was the 1 ultimately released as a single.
After the backing track and George'due south vocal had been recorded, Wexler had booked the summit saxophone player from Los Angeles to fly in and exercise the solo.[18] "He arrived at eleven and should have been gone past twelve", recalled Wham! managing director Simon Napier-Bell. "Instead, after ii 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 way information technology had been on the demo. Simply that had been made two years earlier past a friend of George's who lived round 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 nonetheless not right, you run into..." and he would lower his head to the talkback microphone and patiently hum the office to him yet again. "It has to twitch upward a picayune just there! Run into...? And non also much."[eighteen]
Napier-Bell consulted with Wexler over Michael's dispute with the sax audio. "Is there actually something George wants that's different from what the sax player is playing?" Napier-Bell asked.[18] "Definitely!" replied Wexler.
I've seen things like this before. In that location's some tiny dash that the sax player is somehow not getting right. Although you and I can't hear what it is, it may exist the very matter that will make the record a hit. The success of popular records is so ephemeral, then unbelievably unpredictable, we only can't have the hazard of being impatient. Merely this sax actor'south non going to get information technology, is he![18]
The version Wexler produced was released later in the year, as a (four: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 "Careless Whisper" after the Social club Fantastic Megamix as early 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 basis 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 virtually the Club Fantastic Megamix considering it was already released fabric. He said: "We knew how large that vocal could be, and 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 have made sense to release "Careless Whisper" every bit a solo unmarried in the middle of the tour, despite it existence function of the setlist.[20]
Michael later on went back to London'due south Sarm West's Studio two to re-record the track, the backbone of which was done with a live rhythm section in one take, with "loads of stuff bunged on [overdubbed] later" as Michael added, although the experience of it was basically live.[21] [22] Michael elaborated on the song'southward production and how it turned out in the end:
"Jerry Wexler did one 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 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 first time that I had always felt similar that almost 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 get drunk in society to sing, I was so nervous. Anyhow, my publisher [Dick Leahy] and I had loads of discussions about whether the record was good enough for the vocal and whether there was enough of me in it because information technology just did not audio like me. I said 'information technology'south great. Jerry'southward done a neat chore on information technology', and for the beginning fourth dimension since nosotros'd started I was blind to what was going on because the vocal was already ii and a half years quondam and I simply did not accept a clue about where else I could accept information technology. Eventually I just thought, 'sod this. I'g going to become in and practise information technology as if it had never been washed before with the musicians we normally use and come across what happens.' The runway was much meliorate because I was relaxed and I retrieve that our musicians did a much ameliorate task than the Musculus Shoals department". [22]
According to English language jazz musician Dan Forshaw, saxophonist Steve Gregory had received a call to re-record the vocal'due south distinctive solo; he was the eleventh saxophone player to record the solo, for Michael was adamant to get the sound he wanted.[23] "Session musicians practice not have much idea what they are going to exist 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 in that location was a lot of waiting effectually and the guy in front of Steve threw in the towel saying, 'it'southward merely going to be some crappy B side anyway so I'm off'. Steve waited and then discovered that the solo wasn't that easy to play in the written primal, equally his one-time Selmer Marker VI tenor didn't have a top F♯ key. So, the engineer slowed the tape down so that Steve could record the solo a semitone lower than intended. One time the record was put back to the normal speed, an 'unnatural' saxophone sound was created that sounded a fleck like an Alto in the Paul Desmond vibe, only lacking a fleck more depth and darkness to the audio. George Michael had but arrived at the studio and said 'that's the i, that's the sax solo I want'. This could be downwardly to that whole 80s synth concept where sounds became increasingly 'manufactured', or simply that George never recognized it was 'incorrect'.[23]
The officially released unmarried was issued in August 1984, inbound the UK Singles Nautical chart at number 12. Within two weeks it was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the pinnacle for "Two 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 United Kingdom; outsold only by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks, "Two Tribes" and "Relax", Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Dearest You", and Band Assist'southward "Practice They Know It's Christmas?". The vocal besides topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the Us in February 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring George Michael". Spending three weeks at the summit in America, the song was later named Billboard 's number-one song of 1985. The song was #one on the smooth radio top 500 songs of all time 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 office of my emotional development ... it disappoints me that you can write a lyric very flippantly—and not a particularly adept lyric—and it can mean so much to and then many people. That'south disillusioning for a writer."[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 Upwards Before You lot Become-Go") shows the guilt felt past a human (portrayed by Michael) over an affair, and his acknowledgement that his partner (Lisa Stahl) is going to notice out. Madeline Andrews-Hodge plays the woman who lures George away. It was filmed on location in Miami, Florida, in Feb 1984[24] and features such locales as Kokosnoot Grove and Watson Island. The final part of the video shows Michael leaning out of a meridian floor balcony of Miami's Grove Towers.[25] [26]
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 of the alphabet to a nighttime-haired George. This version had a more detailed storyline, but was then re-edited later.[27]
According 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 virtually ... Then 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 band felt they had "screwed upwardly" the video, further 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. Information technology has over 852 million views as of 2022.
