Tour de Force (38 Special album)

Tour de Force is the sixth studio album by the southern rock band 38 Special, released in 1983. Three music videos were made for the tracks "If I'd Been the One", "Back Where You Belong", and "One Time for Old Times", with the latter two featuring the band portraying detectives who are, humorously, trying to find a missing woman in a light-hearted homage to the TV drama Hill Street Blues.
