About this album

Hey Ricky is a polished early-80s pop-soul album that marked one of Melissa Manchester’s strongest commercial moments. Issued in 1982, it centres on the infectious single ‘You Should Hear How She Talks About You’, which became a major hit and helped broaden her audience beyond adult contemporary radio. The album balances sleek soft rock, heartfelt balladry and brisker, radio-ready arrangements, with Manchester’s expressive voice giving even the most polished production a personal edge. Its mix of contemporary gloss and classic songwriting craft makes it a notable entry in her catalogue and a fine example of early-1980s mainstream pop done with conviction.
