"Speak Like a Child" is a single released from The Style Council's debut 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, mostly because band members 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 promo video also features Tracie Young, whom Weller guided to a briefly successful pop career. View wiki
