!!! Condition of CD is Used - Like New !!!
In the City of Angels is the fifth solo album by Yes lead singer Jon Anderson, released in 1988.
Unlike most of Anderson's previous solo works, this album contains many additional songwriters. Consequently, this is the most straight-ahead commercial pop album in his oeuvre, and sounds closer to a Toto album than his own earlier work—in fact, that band performs on several songs. Jon reciprocated the favor by performing on their album The Seventh One (recorded about the same time as In the City of Angels).
Two songs from the album ("Hold on to Love" and "In a Lifetime") were co-written by Lamont Dozier, of Motown records.
A music video for "Hold on to Love" aired on TV. In the video, the album is titled In The City of Lost Angels. Chris Squire has a cameo appearance in the video as acoustic bass player.
