Bill LaBounty

The fifth solo album of LaBounty was self-titled. This album must deserve one of the golden age AOR / Westciast masterpiece albums. Whilst the former three albums were Jay Santer’s production, for this album LaBounty had Russ Titelman as the producer. In around 1980, Russ Titelman was known for his production such 1979 George Harrison’s self-titled album and Rickie Lee Jones 1981 album “Pirates”. The album opener “Livin' It Up” is a killer song. Japanese LP Records and 3rd-time reissued CD (2000 version) are released with the different jacket as the second photo, but the contents are totally the same as original edition.
The highest chart position of the track "Never Gonna Look Back" from the album "Bill LaBounty" was number 110 on Billboard Pop Chart (number 22 on Adult Contemporary Chart).
