Turning Point is a successful Austrian band founded by Jim Cogan and was originaly founded as The International Travellers but later renamed in Turning Point after a member went missing. After Alex Rehak joined as lead singer, they sold 50.000 copies of their first album 1972 and toured all over Europe. A sudden heart attack on stage stopped Rehak's and the group's career in 1980 for a while.Turning Point came back with a mostly different line-up in 1982 for one more album and a few singles. That time they turned more and more into a project that featured front man Alex Rehak, who in the end released further records as a solo artist. Though there were rumors about the end of Turning Point they never broke up officially. In November 2014 they are back on the scene with the powerful ballad "All You Need Is Love" which is produced by the Germans Andy Matern and Ulli Eichblatt.
