All by Myself is the debut album by American singer–songwriter Regina Belle. Released on June 1, 1987 by Columbia Records, the album features the hit singles "Show Me the Way", "So Many Tears", "How Could You Do It to Me", "Please Be Mine" and "You Got the Love".
The album peaked at number 85 on the US Billboard 200 and number 14 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[1] [2] In the same year the album was released, Belle recorded a duet with Peabo Bryson, "Without You", the love theme from the film Leonard Part 6. However, "Without You" was not included on the original release of the All by Myself album.
In 2012, the album was remastered on CD and "Without You" was included as a bonus track. This was not the original song but a "single mix".
