Born Late

Born Late is the second studio album by American singer Shaun Cassidy. The album was released in 1977 following the success of Cassidy's Shaun [Cassidy (album)|self-titled debut album].
Born Late yielded two hit singles. The first, "Hey Deanie", was written by Eric Carmen, who also wrote the song "That's Rock 'n' Roll". "Hey Deanie" reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1978. For the second single, also following the formula of his first album's hit cover of the Crystals' "Da Doo Ron Ron", Cassidy remade a 1960s hit, in this case the Lovin' Spoonful's "Do You Believe in Magic?". That single became a modest hit, peaking at #31 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Born Late was certified platinum.
Unlike his first album, Cassidy wrote or co-wrote half of the songs. The track "It's Up to You" was co-written with Cassidy by Lost in Space child-star Billy Mumy. "Carolina's Comin' Home" is a cover of a 1971 White Plains song from their album When You Are a King.
