"'Don't Talk Just Kiss'" is the second single by English trio Right Said Fred from their debut album, 'Up' (1992). The song features uncredited duet vocals by American R&B and dance singer Jocelyn Brown, although she appears in the music video. It reached number three in the United Kingdom in December 1991 and became a top-10 hit in several international territories. The single was released in the United States on 27 February 1992 and peaked at number 76 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100.
Critical reception
AllMusic editor Stephen Schnee described "Don't Talk Just Kiss" as a 'delectable slice of '90s disco'. A reviewer from 'Billboard' stated that singer Richard Fairbrass "has a distinctive baritone voice", adding that he "shines brightest" on the song. The magazine's Larry Flick wrote, "Now that they've proven how "sexy" they are, Fred and friends want you to pucker up...immediately." He complimented it as "an equally appealing pop/house gem that benefits from a guest vocal from club dynamo Jocelyn Brown" and an "infectious hook". Randy Clark and Bryan DeVaney from 'Cash Box' commented, "Who would have ever figured a couple of body builders would cause such a ruckus in the music business?". They stated that "Don't Talk Just Kiss" "is actually more of a real song than its predecessor, but still manages to contain enough of a repetitious beat to keep this act in the clubs."
Andy Kastanas from 'The Charlotte Observer' wrote, "Not only does it borrow its sound from disco of the '70s, but it borrows one of its personalities. Disco diva Jocelyn Brown lends her vocal chords to R.S.F. to make for a rollicking good dance song."Kastanas, Andy (11 March 1992). "Sounds of Progress". p. 19. 'The Charlotte Observer'. Also Alan Jones from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update deemed it "a Seventies-flavoured disco groove allowing Jocelyn plenty of opportunities to ad-lib, which she does in her usual paint-blistering manner." Johnny Dee from 'Smash Hits' called it "another cracker" and "a brilliant pop record funny catchy, you can do daft dances to it. The lyrics are great too "Don't talk just kiss/Let your tongue fool around"."
