Behind the Sun by Eric Clapton
Behind the Sun is an album by Eric Clapton, released in 1985. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 35 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Forever Man”, on 24 lists with a best position of #152.
Behind the Sun, Eric Clapton's ninth solo studio album, came out on 11 March 1985 through Duck Records and Warner Bros. It marked the start of his partnership with Phil Collins, who co-produced the record with Clapton and played on some of the tracks, and the mid-'80s gloss is all over it: polished production and big, clean choruses wrapped around that famous guitar tone.
It was made during a rough stretch; Clapton and his wife temporarily split while he was recording. "Forever Man" is the one that stuck, a brisk, punchy rocker with a stinging solo, and "She's Waiting" rides a similar tight, radio-ready groove.
