When Love Comes Down was the first solo studio album from the former lead singer of Survivor Jimi Jamison (after the band decided to go on hiatus because of the bad results from their last 80's album) released in July 9, 1991 for Scotti Brothers and Top Notch Records with the singles "Cry Alone", "Taste of Love", "Rock Hard" and the album's title track. The album was expecting to be a much better (compared to Survivor's Too Hot to Sleep in 1989) but still managed to have singles on movies and TV series soundtracks with great promotion. The album was produced by Shel Talmy, Kenny Mims and Jim Gaines, distributed by RMG and published by Mofo Music BMI.[1] While Jamison was starting to work on his solo career after leaving Survivor in 1989, he was asked to joined Deep Purple at the moment (to be the replacement of Ian Gillan) but his managers and labels wanted him to work on his album and available for a possible Survivor reunion.[2]
