Something to Talk About is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Shirley Eikhard. It was originally recorded and released by Anne Murray as the title track to her 1986 album of the same name, but the track was not released as a single.
"Something To Talk About" was subsequently covered by Bonnie Raitt, on her 1991 album "Luck of the Draw". This version of the song was a huge hit: it peaked at number 5 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, in the Top 20 of Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, and at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. "Something To Talk About" is among Bonnie Raitt's most popular songs, and is Raitt's only entry in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
For this song, Bonnie Raitt won at the Grammy Awards of 1992 the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance field (beating Oleta Adams, Mariah Carey, Amy Grant and Whitney Houston). The track also received a nomination for Record of the Year, losing to "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole [ [http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/1992/grammys.htm Rock On The Net: 34th Annual Grammy Awards - 1992 ] ] .
In 2007, the country music group SHeDAISY recorded a cover of "Something to Talk About" for the soundtrack to the film "The Guardian".
The song has been performed numerous times on "American Idol", including by Kimberly Caldwell in season 2, Fantasia Barrino in season 3, Kellie Pickler in season 5 and Sanjaya Malakar in season 6. Sanjaya changed "how about love" from the chorus to "other than hair" during his farewell performance.
