Howard Tate is an album by the American musician Howard Tate, released in 1972.[1][2] The first single was "Keep Cool (Don't Be a Fool)".[3] The album was a commercial failure, due to the mediocrity of some of the songs, as well as Jerry Wexler's departure from Atlantic Records.[3]
It was Tate's last album until 2003; his close friends and associates were often unsure of his whereabouts during the intervening decades.[4]
The album was produced by Jerry Ragovoy, who also wrote or cowrote the majority of the songs.[5][6] The producer later regretted the song selection, conceding that some were too pop.[7] "Jemima Surrender" is a cover of the song by the Band.[8]
