Hot Dance Track With Madonna


While attending photographer Herb Ritt's birthday party in Los Angeles, Nick had a chance encounter with Madonna, and the two hit it off. She subsequently wrote a song that they recorded together, with Nick singing lead vocals and Madonna doing back-up. The song, 'Get Over,' was featured in the 1991 Chevy Chase-Demi Moore disaster, 'Nothing But Trouble.' Although the movie is best forgotten, the song landed Nick a recording contract with Warner/Reprise.

Nick's first album, 'Wake Up Everybody,' was released in 1993. The album contained 10 songs, including the Madonna-penned 'Get Over,' and several of his own original compositions. It was quite a success for a debut recording effort; it rose to #3 on the Billboard charts. In 1994, Nick released the hit dance single, 'Wild Planet/Love So B.'

So, should one assume that he got his break in the recording industry because he was Madonna's boy-toy? Nick addresses this issue: 'Whether or not I've shared intimacy with Madonna, she wouldn't have worked with me if she felt like I'd be an embarrassment. I'm really proud that I worked with her. But I wasn't Madonna's protege.' If you still aren't convinced, then listen to his album. His voice is rich and soulful, and can stand along side the best male vocalists, with or without and endorsement from the original Material Girl.
