"Careless Whisper" is a 1984 single by George Michael It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling about six million copies worldwide.
My version is based on The Shadows instrumental version from their "Simply Shadows" album released in 1987.

My Son Andrew kindly agreed to play the Sax on this as it wasn't included on the backing track which came from Shadows Workout 11 . http://shadowsworkout.ucoz.com/index/0-16
The Tabs are available from Tony Clout (Tabman)

Played on my Alan Brason custom Strat with Kinman FV-HMS pickups on middle position.
I used an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with echoes from the past patch 0-36. Recorded on Cubase SX5 via Presonus Audiobox USB sound box.
Video made with 3x Sony SR12 camcorders and a Smartphone and edited in Sony Vegas pro 9.
Hope you like "Careless Whisper"

Hi Guys,

Thanks very much Fred - very glad you liked it.
All the best.. Phil & Andy

All of the stuff i've heard you do, i've always thought was great, this was no exception. I think it sounds great with the sax added, must make you proud to play alongside your son. Very talented

Cheers

Thanks Ryan - I realise The Shadows version didn't have the Sax, I don't really know why they didn't use one as on the same album they did a great version of Jealous guy which has a Sax solo.
I thought that was one of the best bits on George Michael's version so I was very pleased that Andy could play this one for me.
Many thanks for the great comment.. All the best.. Phil & Andy
