AllMusic[1]

Images is the third full-length studio album by Christian singer/songwriter Kathy Troccoli, released in 1986 on Reunion Records.[2] It did not sell as well as her previous two albums. Despite that, Images still earned Troccoli a Grammy nomination for Best Gospel Performance, Female at the 30th Grammy Awards in 1988.[3] After the release of Images, Troccoli embarked on a five-year sabbatical from her recording career and would not release another album until 1991's Pure Attraction. Images peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart.
