1980 Toby Beau – If You Believe

If You Believe is the third and last album by Toby Beau, released in 1980.

Toby Beau is a Texas band formed in the early 1970s perhaps best known for the 1978 hit single, “My Angel Baby”. The band is still in existence today and continues to perform on the club circuit. Th band’s name was based from one of the last original wooden shrimp boats docked in the Gulf Coast community of Port Isabel, Texas.

After releasing two album it was a large burden on Balde Silva to complete the third album single-handedly, this provided numerous successes, such as all legal rights to retain the band’s name. He then moved to Los Angeles, California, to record the third album with producer Jerry Fuller. With the help of numerous studio artists, the third album, If You Believe was released in 1980. Although not viewed as a commercial success, the album did score a third hit in the ballad “If I Were You,” which might demonstrate a preview of how the band would sound in years to come.
