''Born Late'' is the second studio album released by pop singer,
Shaun Cassidy. The album was released in 1977 following the success of Cassidy's
self-titled debut album.
The album yielded two hit singles. The first, "
Hey Deanie", was written by
Eric Carmen, who also wrote the song "
That's Rock 'n' Roll" (which was a hit from Cassidy's first solo album). "Hey Deanie" reached #7 in early 1978. For the second single, also following the formula of his first album, Cassidy remade a 1960s hit, in this case
The Lovin' Spoonful's "
Do You Believe in Magic?" (which was written by
John Sebastian). That single became a modest hit, peaking at #31 on the US
''Billboard'' Hot 100.
''Born Late'' was certified platinum.
Unlike his first album, Cassidy wrote or co-wrote half of the songs. The track "It's Up To You" was co-written with Cassidy by ''
Lost In Space'' child-star
