I'm in You is the fifth studio album by English musician and songwriter Peter Frampton. It was released on 3 June 1977, almost a year and a half after his 1976 signature breakthrough live album, Frampton Comes Alive! It was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York, where Frampton's Camel was recorded four years earlier. Stevie Wonder, Richie Hayward, Mike Finnigan and Mick Jagger are featured on the album.
I'm in You is Frampton's most commercially successful studio album; it rose to the No. 2 slot on the US Billboard 200 and was certified platinum, while in Canada, the album entered the chart directly at #1.Library and Archives Canada. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-119.01-e.php?brws_s=1&file_num=nlc008388.5250a&type=1&interval=24&PHPSESSID=7in04kanj2n5jqqsj4erg10u03 The title track became his most successful single yet, reaching No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Reception
Record World said of the single "Tried to Love" that "A loping rhythm and blues with signature instrumental effects will likely be Frampton's third straight single success from I'm in You" and that "The rhythm is engaging." However, "Tried to Love" only reached No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100.
