Tour de Force (38 Special album)

Tour de Force is the sixth studio album by the southern rock band 38 Special, released in 1983. A music video was made for the track "Back Where You Belong", which featured 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.
