About The Record:

Greatest Hits, by Melissa Manchester, was issued in 1983, shortly after the release of Manchester's biggest hit, the new wave top 10 hit You Should Hear How She Talks About You. The compilation spans the years 1975 to 1983, starting with Manchester's first top 10 hit Midnight Blue, up to two new songs recorded specifically for this record: Nice Girls and a medley of two 60's covers: My Boyfriend's Back and Runaway, both produced by Arif Mardin, who had produced Manchester's previous record Hey Ricky. Nice Girls and My Boyfriend's Back were released as singles, with the former peaking at no. 42 in the Billboard Hot 100. Both became top 40 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart. The compilation peaked at no. 43 in the USA, and was a steady seller, eventually being certified gold in 1989 by the RIAA.
