Rick Nowels notably produced I Can’t Wait from Stevie’s Rock a Little album, and later he produced several songs on her Trouble in Shangri-La album. Rick did not work on Belinda’s first solo album, but he was given the song I Get Weak, written by Diane Warren for Stevie’s RAL album, and offered it to Belinda instead, when he produced her second album Heaven on Earth, the album that made her really really famous- for a while, anyway.
Rick is younger than Stevie and Lindsey, but was friends with them in high school or right after. Rick also appears in Lindsey’s video for Trouble- he’s the blond haired guitarist and featured pretty prominently.
Bekka sang back up on at least one of Belinda’s albums, and the filmed concert from her Heaven on Earth tour shows Bekka a lot- she shares back up vocals with Donna DeLory, who went on to tour with Madonna for several years. It was neat hearing Bekka talk about her experiences on that tour- hopefully Belinda is more mature now, 35 years later LOL but who knows. It’s hard to believe she was 16 then.
