'Straight From The Heart' (1983)
This single was shipped to the radio stations on December 2 1982, preparing for the January '83 release of the 'Cuts Like A Knife' album. This was Bryan's first hit ballad, peaking at #10 on the Billboard charts. Here's a rare known fact about the song: it was the first song Bryan wrote when he was 18 when he bought a piano, which is why it's a very simple song based around 3 chords. It was also re-released as a promo in Europe in the early 90's under the 'So Far So Good' album.

A fair amount of variety on the sleeve for single depending on which country it was released in...
