Bryan Adams
capitalized on the momentum of
Cuts Like a Knife
with 1984's
Reckless
, a virtually flawless collection of melodic hard rock which would dominate radio for years to come.
"Run to You"
was a brilliant lead-off single which remains one of
Adams
' best songs ever and it is joined by smashes such as
"Summer of '69,"
"It's Only Love,"
(a duet with
Tina Turner
), and the ballad to end all ballads,
"Heaven."
Sales figures may point to 1991's
Waking Up the Neighbors
as the peak of
career, but the songs from
will most certainly prove to be his lasting legacy. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
