Toby Beau / If You Believe

In the summer of 1978, the band Toby Beau released their debut album "Toby Beau" featuring a smash hit single "My Angel Baby". In 1979, Toby Beau completed their 2nd album " More Than A Love Song" under the pressure how they should have another smash hit. However, the band members except Balde Silva left the band without doing any tour for the album. Thus, Balde Silva decided to record third album by himself as Toby Beau. In this way, this album "If You Believe" had been completed and released in 1980. Due to his songwriting partner absence, Jerry Fuller, the producer of this album gathered great tunes over the America, which made Toby Beau's sound from country-flavored rock into Westcoast Pop / AOR.
