Pilot of My Destiny is the debut studio album by American singer and pianist Diane Schuur, released in 1982 through the independent label Great American Records.[1] The album was recorded in 1981 in Seattle, and includes some of her original compositions.
Michael Hoffman of the Arizona Daily Star stated that the album suffered from "poor production and distribution", so it did not have very good results.[2] A Billboard reviewer wrote: "Ten pleasantly listenable cuts are sung by this Tacoma lady, who also plays right nice piano with an eight-piece backup band. Standouts are 'Life Goes On' and 'In Your Own Sweet Way'".[3]
