"Speak Like a Child" was the debut single from The Style Council and was included on the album, Introducing The Style Council in 1983 (see 1983 in music). Backed with "Party Chambers", it became a big hit, peaking at #4 on the UK Singles Chart. Paul Weller and Mick Talbot were already well-known from their previous bands, The Jam and The Merton Parkas, respectively. It has remained one of their most enduring hits.
The single also features Tracie Young, who had just signed to Weller's Respond Records label, on backing vocals.

Famous quotes containing the words speak like, speak and/or child:
“I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“A name with meaning could bring up a child,
Taking the child out of the parents’ hands.
Better a meaningless name, I should say,
As leaving more to nature and happy chance.
Name children some names and see what you do.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
