CARELESS is the debut album by singer/songwriter Stephen Bishop. Notable contributors to the album include Eric Clapton, Art Garfunkel and Chaka Khan. One of the weird things about the Pop Singles Chart is that it captures a moment in time, but pop music history keeps right on changing around it. For instance, Alan O’Day’s “Undercover Angel” hit #1, and Stephen Bishop’s “On And On” only got to #11. But “On And On” is still played on the radio, while “Undercover Angel” has all but disappeared. In 1977, if you happened to be listening to the radio (or if, as some folks at Select were, on the air at the time), you would have been very familiar with this album, Not only did it boast “On And On,” but the tune “Save It For A Rainy Day” was all over AM and FM radio. One of the beautiful things about the CARELESS album, though, was its almost seamless consistency in both sound and vision. Critic Robert Christgau said of Bishop, “his voice is three-quarters Simon and one-quarter Garfunkel and he's got as much brains as and fewer pretensions than either.” Garfunkel appears on the album, by the way, as do Eric Clapton, Larry Carlton, Chaka Khan, and Lee Ritenour, among others. The real joy in listening to this album for the first time, or even rediscovering it, is hearing the exquisitely-crafted pop tunes that weren’t hits, such as “Little Italy,” “One More Night,” “The Same Old Tears On A New Background,” and “Rock And Roll Slave.” Little wonder it went Gold.
