Overnight Success (Neil Sedaka album)
Overnight Success is a 1975 studio album by Neil Sedaka. It was released in the UK and throughout Europe on the Polydor label, and Australia on the Rainbow label. Later that same year, in the US, most of this album was issued under the title The Hungry Years, with two songs from the British album replaced on the American album. “The Hungry Years”, one of Sedaka's most frequently requested non-single tracks, marked Sedaka's reunion with his long-time collaborator Howard Greenfield after having broken off their partnership in 1973. Sedaka and Greenfield would again work together more regularly in the late 1970s. Reception“The Queen of 1964” reached #35 in the UK in March 1975. The Captain and Tennille’s 1976 cover of “Lonely Night (Angel Face)” hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold.[2] "Bad Blood", with uncredited backing vocals by Elton John,[3] reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975, and remained in that position for three weeks before being replaced by Elton John's single "Island Girl". It was the most successful individual commercial release in Sedaka's career. PersonnelPiano: Neil Sedaka Track listingSide one
