history
Chas Sandford also wrote John Waite's number one hit, Missing You . Likewise, Sandford also played most of the musical instruments in the song Talk to Me . The song caught the attention of Nick's producer Jimmy Iovine , who "was looking for a hit for Nick all the time." Stevie said that she didn't like the song at the beginning because she had trouble singing, but Iovine convinced Nicks on the quality of the song and she finally recorded it. However, the first recordings did not reach the desired quality. Jim Keltner was in the studio during the recording and thus also acted as a drummer. After Nicks expressed her difficulties with singing Keltner, he gave her encouraging words and Nicks then sang the song several times again until the song achieved the desired quality. After its release as the third single by Rock a Little , the song was particularly successful in the United States, where the pop-rock title reached number 4 in the official US charts and number 1 in the rock charts in January 1986.
Stevie Nicks first sang Talk to Me on her Rock A Little World Tour in 1986, as well as on her The Other Side Of The Mirror Tour in 1989 and on the Whole Lotta Trouble Tour in 1991, where she recorded her greatest hits album Timespace - The Best of Stevie Nicks was promoting.
