Change of Heart is a 1978 album by Eric Carmen. It was his third solo LP, and reached #137 on the Billboard album chart.
The album yielded two charting singles, the title track which was an international Top 20 hit, as well as Carmen's remake of the Four Tops' 1964 song, "Baby, I Need Your Loving". Both songs were also hits on the Adult Contemporary chart, both in the US as well as in Canada, reaching the Top 10 in Canada.[2] The single release, "Change of Heart" is ranked as the 135th biggest Canadian hit of 1978,[3] as well as the 160th biggest Canadian hit of 1979.[4]
The LP also contained a remake of "Hey Deanie," a Top 10 hit which Carmen wrote for Shaun Cassidy, which was the flip side of the title track 45 RPM.
"Someday," the flip side of Carmen's previous hit, "She Did It," was omitted from Boats Against the Current but was included on this album.
Samantha Sang covered "Change of Heart" that same year, and it was featured as the B side of her second hit single, "You Keep Me Dancing."
