It spawned three Billboard Top 20 hit singles including ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ which reached #5, ‘Life In One Day’, #19 and a re-recorded version of ‘No-One Is To Blame’ featuring Phil Collins on backing vocals and drums (produced by Hugh Padgham) which gave Howard his biggest ever US hit single reaching #4.
