New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Stephen Bishop official website) Stephen Bishop, best known for hits like "On and On" and "Separate Lives," has just released his first studio album in seven years.

Art Garfunkel was the first to record any of his compositions. Two of them were on his million-selling album "Breakaway." Shortly thereafter, Stephen was signed to ABC Records and released his first album, "Careless", in 1977. His two big hits from that album,"Save It For a Rainy Day," and "On and On," remain classic hits. The album went gold, as did his next album, "Bish." He sang the hit theme, "It Might Be You," from the movie "Tootsie" in the mid-eighties and wrote and/or sang for 13 other films including "Animal House," "Unfaithfully Yours," and "The China Syndrome." "Separate Lives," Bishop's heartfelt ballad from "White Nights," was recorded by
