John Parr chronology
Running the Endless Mile (1986) Man with a Vision (1992) Under Parr (1996)

Man with a Vision is the 3rd album by John Parr, released in 1992.^[1] The album was a commercial failure. The album featured the track Restless Heart which was for The Running Man soundtrack in 1987. The album is collectable today. The title track was originally recorded by Seven in 1990, produced by Parr.^[2] Parr wouldn't release his next album until 1996. This was Parr's first release on the European label Blue Martin Records (a division of K-tel Switzerland AG).

A promo video exists for both Man With A Vision and Restless Heart. Both tracks did not chart although the first peaked in the US Billboard 100 with Seven's original.

Around this time, John Parr's realization of a dream came when he had the chance to work with producer John Lange. They co-produced an album for the new band "Romeo's Daughter." A collaboration with Rick Wakeman followed, where he performed 2 songs on the Time Machine album.

In between this, Man With A Vision was released, and Parr traveled to Australia to perform as Paris in the rock opera of the same name. On the Paris album, John Parr performs the role of Paris, Prince of Troy, youngest son of Priam and King of Troy.^[3]

Three singles were released from the album Restless Heart, Man With A Vision and It's Starting All Over Again.
