Leer másThe album is regarded as one of Stewart`s finest. "The Killing of Georgie" is one of Stewart`s most hard-hitting sets of lyrics, a melancholic tale of a gay friend who is cast out by his family and becomes a sensation in the New York nightlife, only to be murdered by a New Jersey gang during an attempted robbery. Controversial "Tonight`s the Night" was a No. 1 hit but was banned by some radio stations due to the very obvious lyrics about sex and loss of virginity. A cover of Cat Stevens` "The First Cut Is the Deepest" was also a success and has since become one of Stewart`s signature songs.
