By 1983, Wham! was a commercial powerhouse — but inside the studio, George Michael was operating on an entirely different level. This episode of the Wham! Complete Story examines the making of 'Careless Whisper': how a melody sketched in Michael's teenage years became one of the most recognisable singles in pop history, and what the obsessive, uncompromising process of recording it reveals about the artist he was already becoming.
At the centre of the story is a saxophone line. Michael knew exactly how it had to sound, and he dismissed auditioner after auditioner until he found the musician who could deliver it. That quiet, unyielding perfectionism — not temperament, but precision — produced one of pop's great instrumental hooks. It also produced something else: a record that, though released under the Wham! banner, was in every meaningful sense a George Michael solo statement.
We explore Andrew Ridgeley's co-writing credit and what it tells us about the honest, functional nature of their partnership — a friendship built on trust rather than a rigid creative split. We look at the critical establishment's grudging relationship with Wham!'s success, and how Michael's awareness of that scepticism sharpened his ambition. And we trace the significance of 'Careless Whisper' as a pivot point: the moment when Michael's dual life — as one half of a duo and as a solo artist in waiting — first became impossible to ignore.
This is the episode where the future starts to come into focus.
