"You Talk Too Much" is a 1960 single by American R&B singer Joe Jones. The song reached Number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, of which Jones co-wrote the song with Reginald Hall. Released by Ric Records, it would be the label's only commercial success. [2]
It was written by Fats Domino's brother-in-law, Reginald Hall. Domino passed the song on to Jones who performed it during his club act. [3] Jones recorded the song for the New Orleans-based Ric Records in New York City in 1960. It was produced by Sylvia Vanderpool Robinson who was half of the duo Mickey & Sylvia, but she was not credited for the session. The lyrics describe a significant other of the lyricist, who talks excessively about things and people the former never sees or hears. [4]
Initially released by Ric in July 1960, the record caused legal issues with the New York City-based Roulette Records because Jones had previously recorded a version of the tune under contract with Roulette. In October 1960, the labels reached an amicable settlement in which Roulette bought the master recording from Ric. [5] The disk switched labels on the Billboard charts where it peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100 and No. 9 on the Hot R&B Sides. [6] [7]
