1988 studio album by Russell Hitchcock
Russell Hitchcock is the self-titled debut solo album by
Russell Hitchcock , best known as the lead singer of
Air Supply , released in 1988. The album did not reach the charts, though singles "Someone Who Believes in You", "I Can't Believe My Eyes" and the
covers "
The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore ", "
What Becomes of the Brokenhearted " and "
Where Did the Feeling Go? " had minor recognition.
As a solo artist, Hitchcock would later release several more singles, the most famous being "
Swear to Your Heart " from the film
Arachnophobia . Others include duets with Judith Durham from the I Am an Australian album, "De Todos Modos" with Ednita Nazario from the album Super Exitos (1991) and "Is It You" with
Rita Coolidge (1995).
Also of note is the track "The River Cried", which was first recorded by former
Scandal vocalist/songwriter
Patty Smyth for her 1987
debut solo album (the version heard here is 12 seconds shorter).
