When Love Comes Down

When Love Comes Down is the first solo studio album from the former Survivor lead singer Jimi Jamison[1] (after the band decided to go on hiatus following lackluster sales of their 1988 Too Hot to Sleep album)[2] released on July 9, 1991 on Scotti Brothers and Top Notch Records. It featured the singles "Taste of Love", "Rock Hard" and the album's title track. The album was anticipated to perform better than Survivor's Too Hot to Sleep but only managed marginal success, featuring a couple singles that appeared in movies and TV series soundtracks.
