A great album!!

This week in 1982, the Alan Parsons Project LP “Eye In The Sky” debuted on the Australian charts at #98 (August 16)

“Eye in the Sky” is the title track of the LP of the same name, and was the Project's biggest hit, with lead vocals by Eric Woolfson.

The song is usually played in tandem with the instrumental piece "Sirius", which has become a staple at many college and professional sporting arenas throughout the world.

It’s best known for its use by the Chicago Bulls to introduce its starting line-up during its championship years of the 1990s and is still used to this day…

The single went all the way to #1 in Canada and Spain, #3 in the US and Italy, #6 in New Zealand, #16 in France, and #22 in Australia.

At the 25th Annual Grammy Awards in 1983, the album “Eye in the Sky” was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album.

In 2019, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Immersive Audio Album at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.
