The album, issued on Polydor outside the U.S., featured a mix of pop and soft rock, with Sedaka collaborating with lyricists Howard Greenfield and Phil Cody, and included backing vocals by Elton John on the title track. Historically significant for its role in Sedaka's 1970s resurgence, it was promoted with an NBC-TV primetime special titled \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSteppin' Out\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003e, though it received mixed reviews, with critics noting a lack of memorable tunes compared to his earlier work. Hit singles included \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLove in the Shadows\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003e, which peaked at No. 16 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eYou Gotta Make Your Own Sunshine\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003e, reaching No. 52 on the U.S. pop charts. The song \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eBad And Beautiful\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003e gained popularity among fans in Mexico and Latin America, and was notably reworked as the ending theme for the 1985 anime \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eMobile Suit Zeta Gundam\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793753338137,"sku":"PIG-2195","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-neil_sedaka-steppin_out.jpg?v=1783554470","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/pig-2195","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
