Sometimes Late at Night


Sometimes Late at Night is the third and last solo album by songwriter Carole Bayer Sager, released in 1981. Singles from the album were Stronger Than Before, and Easy To Love Again. The track co-written with Neil Diamond, On The Way To The Sky, served as the title to his album released a few months later and reached the top 40 as a single in 1982.
The producer and composer was Burt Bacharach. After this album, they married and wrote many songs including "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" and "That's What Friends Are For", until their divorce.
Sometimes Late at Night is a concept album, which flows from song to song, with no breaks in between throughout each side of the LP or cassette edition. The US CD release suffered from bad packaging, incorrect information and skips in the CD track; but the Japanese-remastered CD was perfect, and included the correct and original lyrics.
