1988 Christopher Cross – Back Of My Mind
Back Of My Mind is the fourth studio album by singer Christopher Cross, released in 1988 through Warner Bros. Records. After both the album and its singles failed to chart in the United States (although “I Will (Take You Forever)” did chart in several other countries) and due in large part to the general decline in sales beginning with Another Page (1983), Cross was soon released from Warner Bros. “Swept Away” was previously heard on a few episodes of the TV show Growing Pains in 1987. It would be nearly five years until Cross signed a new recording contract with BMG and release a new album, Rendezvous, in 1993.
