SURVIVOR: Too hot to Sleep [tape] Check videos!

Too Hot to Sleep is the seventh album from the rock band Survivor, released in 1988. It was a relative commercial disappointment, reaching only #187 on the Billboard album charts. As a result, founders Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik put the band on indefinite hiatus, and singer Jimi Jamison would continue to tour under the Survivor name (thus resulting in a lengthy court battle regarding rights to the name). Drummer Marc Droubay and bassist Stephen Ellis were replaced by studio musicians on the album. The lineup of Sullivan, Peterik and Jamison would not reunite until 2000.

==================================================

5.0 out of 5 stars Survivor at their best!
This album is arguably their best ! Each track is classic Survivor with Jimi Jamison on lead vocals. 'Didn't know it was love' and 'Desperate Dreams' are the strongest tunes, followed closely by the title track 'Too hot to sleep' and the haunting 'Burning Bridges'. Well worth a listen !

==============================================

5.0 out of 5 stars The dying gasp of Melodic Rock,
Recruiting Jimi Jamison to replace the ailing Dave Bickler proved to be a masterstroke as his muscular vocals gave 'Vital Signs' the punch that earlier Survivor albums lacked. Following up that classic with the spotty 'When Seconds Count' meant that 'Too Hot to Sleep' had to be a near classic in its own right. And it delivers in spades!! The title track, 'Didn't Know It Was Love' and 'Across The Miles' are worth the price of admission on their own. The other tracks may pale by comparison to those gems but for any other band they would be stand out songs. If you can find a copy of the album at a sensible price, buy it!
