Sybil (titled Walk On By in the UK) is the second studio album by American singer
Sybil, released in 1989. Five singles were released from the album; "Can't Wait (On Tomorrow)", which had been released as a standalone single in 1988, and two
cover versions of the
Burt Bacharach and
Hal David-written
Dionne Warwick songs "
Don't Make Me Over" and "
Walk On By", which were both released as
singles in 1989 and 1990 respectively. These two singles became Sybil's first real big hits worldwide, and were followed by "Crazy for You" (featuring
Salt-N-Pepa) and a cover of
Michael Jackson's "
I Wanna Be Where You Are".
The album itself became Sybil's biggest hit in North America, being her only album to enter the
Billboard 200. It achieved its biggest sales in New Zealand, where "Don't Make Me Over" hit number one, and the album peaked at No. 3. "Don't Make Me Over" had been first released on Sybil's previous album Let Yourself Go, but had not been released as a single. The song "Love's Calling", which includes a sample of
Grace Jones' "
Don't Cry – It's Only the Rhythm" was later included, in a new
remix, on Sybil's 1993 album Doin' It Now!.
