Night and Day is the fifth studio album by English musician Joe Jackson, released on 25 June 1982 by A&M Records. [10] [11] It reached the top five in both the United Kingdom and United States, Jackson's only studio album to do so in either country. [11] The album has been certified gold in the UK and US, and achieved platinum status in Canada. It has sold over one million copies. [11]
The album pays tribute to the wit and style of Cole Porter (and indirectly to New York City). [11] The track "Real Men" pointed obliquely to the city's early-1980s gay culture. [12]
"Steppin' Out" earned Grammy Award nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male. [13] It reached number 6 on both the UK and the US charts. "Breaking Us in Two" reached number 18 in the US and number 59 in the UK. [11] [14]
