1992 Jon Gibson – Forever Friends
Forever Friends (1992, Frontline Records) is the sixth studio album released Jon Gibson.
It yielded five Top 10 hits and was voted Album of the Year by CCM Magazine. The album peaked at No. 3 on August 8, 1992 (charting for 37 weeks), but Frontline Records ran into serious financial trouble. “My contract was over when I completed the album Forever Friends… I was definitely free from Frontline”, Gibson says. He decided to create his own record label, resulting in a nearly three-year hiatus before releasing his seventh album.
