"Angie" is the debut album by American R&B singer Angela Bofill. It was produced by the GRP Records label heads Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen. It was released in 1978 on the GRP label; a digitally remastered version was released on Buddah Records in 2001. The album was heralded as a mild success, popularizing on some of the themes of the times. The song, "This Time I'll Be Sweeter", charted fairly well on the U.S R&B front. Being the first of her kind to do so, Bofill's sophisticated vocals would prove to have an effect on the jazz, Latin and urban contemporary music audiences of the time.

"Boys In The Trees" is the 7th studio album by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released by Elektra Records, in April 1978. The lead single, "You Belong To Me", reached #6 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, becoming Simon's 5th Top 10 pop hit, and earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female. The second single, a remake of The Everly Brothers' 1958 hit "Devoted To You" (sung as a duet with then-husband James Taylor), also reached the Top 40, peaking at #36. The singles also hit the Top 10 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at #4 and #2, respectively. The track "Tranquillo (Melt My Heart)" reached #86 on the US Cashbox Pop chart. "Boys In The Trees" became one of Simon's biggest selling albums, and was officially certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on August 7, 1978, for sales of over one million copies in the United States alone.
