''A Journey Through Time'' is the seventh studio album from American rock and pop singer Benny Mardones, released in 2002. ==Background== The album was Mardones' only release under Crazy Boy Records. The album was originally intended as the soundtrack to the documentary, "Into The Night: The Benny Mardones Story", however the album was released in 2002 as a loosely separated project instead. The album functions as a musical biography, containing all new recordings. The album saw Mardones recording the songs that are important to him personally, whether they were new songs or covers, where Mardones' illustrated their significance in the liner notes. On the album, a new 2002 version of "Into the Night" is added whilst an acoustic version is also on the album. The album featured the previously unrecorded song "Fool for Falling in Love", a song written by Mardones and American singer/songwriter Roy Orbison, who was good friends with Mardones. A new version of "Sheila C." is included, which was originally recorded for the 1981 album ''Too Much to Lose'', whilst a bonus track is included, a new version of the track "How Could You Love Me", originally recorded for the 1989 album ''Benny Mardones'', and later re-recorded on the 1995 album ''Stand By Your Man''.〔 A cover of the 1968 hit soul song "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" is included on the album, which was originally performed as a joint song by American vocal groups Diana Ross & the Supremes and The Temptations. The song was written by Kenneth Gamble, Jerry Williams and Jerry Ross. "I Need a Miracle" received national play and charted on the American Adult Contemporary charts, peaking at #30 in late 2002. The song "I Want It All" also entered the American Adult Contemporary charts, where it peaked at #25 in early 2003. The two chartings were the first and last time Mardones appeared on the national singles chart other than for "Into the Night". According to the official American Billboard Magazine of August 31, 2002, the "I Need a Miracle" single had almost four dozen Adult Contemporary outlets who were believers in the song during its first week of release. It was also noted that this was rare for the format and that the record was therefore already garnering major attention. "I Want It All" was written for Mardones, by wife of Roy Orbison; Barbara Orbison and Swedish songwriter Jörgen Elofsson. On the album, American songwriter and pianist Jim Brickman makes a guest appearance. The album was produced by largely by Greg Ross (Owner and founder of legendary punk record label Go-kart Records) and Mardones' own manager Joel Diamond. Jim Ervin who would produce and co-write Mardones' following 2006 album ''Let's Hear It for Love'', as well as his frequent collaborators Duane Evans and Robert Tepper. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Journey Through Time (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
