Desmond child richie sambora discipline


Discipline is the only solo album recorded by American songwriter and producer Desmond Child. It was released on Elektra in 1991 and features his longer take on "Love on a Rooftop", a song he wrote for Cher on her 1989 album Heart of Stone, which reached number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora appears on the album; in addition to playing his usual array of guitars, he co-wrote two tracks (the title song and "According to the Gospel of Love"). Also notable is an appearance by Bon Jovi's drummer, Tico Torres. Famed songwriter Burt Bacharach co-wrote the song "Obsession", which peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
