Just Another Day in Paradise is a 1982 album by American singer-songwriter Bertie Higgins.
The album spawned the Top 40 singles "Key Largo" and the title track which was released as a follow up. The single "Just Another Day in Paradise" was not as big a hit as "Key Largo" but received much airplay and also hit the Country Charts as well. In Asia, the other international hit "Casablanca" was generated from the album. The song was recorded by Japanese singer Hiromi Go in same year, and its cover version reached #2 on the Japanese chart,finally selling more than 500,000 copies. Likewise, this album that featured original version of "Casablanca" achieved enormous commercial success, and finally it became the second best-selling album of 1982 which was recorded by Western artist on that country's official hit parade, Oricon.[1]
