The eponymous album was first released in 1976 in Europe and Australia, where he had top-ten hits with "Morning Girl" and "That's Rock 'n' Roll".
It was not until the release of a cover version of The Crystals' song, "Da Doo Ron Ron", that Cassidy's international success carried over into the United States.
The single became a number-one Billboard hit for Cassidy and launched his career as a pop musician and teen idol in the U.S.
