"Say You, Say Me" was released on October 29, 1985, for the musical
ballet drama film White Nights (1985), starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and
Gregory Hines. Film director Taylor Hackford asked Richie to write a
title theme. Unable to compose a song with "White Nights" in the title,
Richie submitted a demo of the ballad "Say You, Say Me". Eventually,
Hackford approved the song and included the completed version in White
Nights' closing credits. "Say You, Say Me" topped the charts in the
United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, and
Finland. |
