Careless Whisper (Alto Saxophone Solo) WMS-14-005
Careless Whisper Wham!

This is a song with a very lovely tenor sax intro.

It’s nostalgic, and Wham! is well-known in Japan, too.

It’s a hidden gem by that artist.

Several people have covered it in Japan, so I think many will recognize it when they hear it.

George Michael – Careless Whisper (Official Video)
Careless Whisper (Careless Whisper) Wham!

In the 1980s, Wham!, a male pop duo, was hugely popular not only in their home country of the UK but also in the United States and Japan.

Their biggest heartbreak song is surely Careless Whisper.

It tells the story of a man who, driven by a fleeting moment of unfaithfulness, whispered to a woman other than his girlfriend—and that became the reason his girlfriend ultimately said goodbye.

In Japan, it’s remembered for being an exceptionally big hit for a Western song.
