The dictionary defines "emergence" as "the act or an instance of emerging," which is a redundant term for an established star releasing this album in 1971 while enjoying recent chart success writing "Workin' on a Groovy Thing" for the 5th Dimension on their Age of Aquarius album from 1969 as well as the Roger Atkins/Neil Sedaka composition "Puppet Man" on 1970's Portrait LP by that same group.

This project is a deep musical statement from the team of Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka, featuring songs that provoke thoughts with their almost soap-opera look at Hollywood, the closest thing to a concept album by this legendary Brill Building duo.

Listen to "Is Anybody Gonna Miss You" and see if Elton John and Bernie Taupin didn't base "Country Comforts" on it (as that pair based perhaps their entire career on Sedaka/Greenfield -- the piano man meets the lyricist and they work for publishers on two different continents!).

Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls John's 1971 Tumbleweed Connection "a loose concept album about the American West," and the similarity is due either to serendipity or likeminded artists watching each other very closely a few years before they would all work together.
