Released in 1978, Reaching for the Sky would be Bryson's debut album on Capitol Records, charting with Quiet Storm staple "Feel the Fire" at number 13 on the R&B singles chart. This tune would be covered by Stephanie Mills in 1979 on her What Cha' Gonna Do with My Lovin' album and again in 1980 by Teddy Pendergrass as a duet with Mills on his TP album. The midtempo title track, "Reaching for the Sky" was even more commercially successful, reaching number 6 on the R&B chart.
