This album featured the hit single "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", which peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. His follow-up album, Stars (1979), featured the single "Dance (Disco Heat)", which also reached number one on the dance chart.
