"I Don't Want to Talk About It" is a song written by Danny Whitten. It was first recorded by Crazy Horse and issued as the final track on side one of their 1971 eponymous album. It was Whitten's signature tune, but gained more fame via its numerous cover versions, especially that by Rod Stewart. ==Cover versions== In 1975, Rod Stewart recorded the song at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama, for his album ''Atlantic Crossing''. This became successful when it was released as a single. In the United States, it became a top fifty hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in 1979. In the United Kingdom, it topped the UK Singles Chart as a double A-side with "The First Cut Is the Deepest" in 1977. In 1989, Stewart recorded a new version of "I Don't Want to Talk About It" for ''Storyteller – The Complete Anthology: 1964–1990''. It was later included on ''Downtown Train – Selections from the Storyteller Anthology'' and released as a single in 1990. It received extensive airplay on adult contemporary radio stations in the United States, reaching number two on the ''Billboard'' Adult Contemporary chart. Stewart also sang this song as a duet with Amy Belle during his 2004 tour and it is included in his concert DVD. In June 1988, Everything but the Girl released their version as a single. This also met with success in the UK, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart. It was their first British top ten hit and would remain their only one until 1995, when the remix of "Missing" also peaked at number three. Tracey Thorn has said that Stewart had been regarded as "a heroic figure" in her home when she was growing up, and that her brother Keith owned the "albums with grimy-sounding titles like ''An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down'', and ''Gasoline Alley''". She herself had "always liked ''Atlantic Crossing''."〔 Tracey Thorn, ''Bedsit Disco Queen'', p.204〕 Other notable artists who have recorded versions of this song include Blue, Rita Coolidge, Billie Jo Spears, Ian Matthews, A-Mei, Pegi Young, Blue, D'ZRT, Nils Lofgren, who also helped Whitten write the song though he received no album credit for this, Dina Carroll, Joe McElderry, David Sneddon, winner of the BBC's ''Fame Academy'', Geoff Muldaur, Llama Farmers, Alex Parks, Indigo Girls on the ''Philadelphia'' soundtrack, and Andy Williams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Don't Want to Talk About It」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
