''Too Much to Lose'' is the third studio album from American rock and pop singer Benny Mardones, released in 1981. It would be Mardones' last studio album for eight years. ==Background== The album was Mardones' second and final record for Polydor Records. After the success of the previous 1980 album ''Never Run, Never Hide'' (particularly the hit song "Into The Night"), expectations were high for ''Too Much To Lose''. However, due to a variety of factors including disagreements at Polydor, the record was a commercial failure. Despite this, many fans of Mardones highlight songs such as "Shelia C", "Baby Don't" and "I'm Not Gonna Cry Anymore". The majority of the songs were written by Mardones and American musician/singer Robert Tepper, who had previously co-wrote "Into The Night". For the album, a cover of the 1969 hit song "Oh Me Oh My" was recorded, originally performed by Scottish singer Lulu and written by Jim Doris. The other cover is the track "I'm Not Gonna Cry Anymore", which was written by Bobby David and originally released in 1979 by Nancy Brooks. The song would later be covered by American Southern rock band Blackfoot in 1990 for the album "Medicine Man". The album was produced by "The Wizard" Barry Mraz who produced Mardones' previous album. The album was recorded at Right Track Studios and was one of the first records to be recorded there since its move from 21st Street to 48th Street. "Sheila C." would later be re-recorded for Mardones' 2002 album ''A Journey Through Time''.〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/a-journey-through-time-mw0000226271〕 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「Too Much to Lose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
