Stacy Lattisaw – Nail It To The Wall (US 12″)
Posted by DjPaulT on 28th September 2011
BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986
When she was a teenager in the early ’80s, urban soul singer Stacy Lattisaw had a string of Top 40 R&B hits, with three songs — “Let Me Be Your Angel,” “Love on a Two Way Street,” “Miracles” — crossing over to the pop mainstream. Lattisaw recorded her first album for Cotillion Records at the age of 12 in 1979, under the direction of producer Van McCoy. However it wasn’t until she hooked up with Narada Michael Walden, a former drummer with the Mahavishnu Orchestra who was just beginning a career as a producer, that she became a star. Under Walden’s direction, she had five hit albums between 1981 and 1986. She continued recording into the late ’80s, signing to Motown in 1986, but her audience slowly disappeared. By the early ’90s, she decided to retire from a music career and concentrate on raising her family.
“Nail It To The Wall” was the first single lifted from the Motown Records album Take Me All The Way. Arranged by Fred Zarr, produced and remixed by John “Jellybean” Benitez “Nail It To The Wall” peaked at #48 on the Billboard Hot 100 while climbing to #4 R&B and #2 Dance in 1986.
