Who is the guy at the cover? Donald Fagan himself? abelson 07:56, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes. 88.32.216.139 (talk) 14:45, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

ELABORATION: This is indeed a photo of Fagen, but what's more it's a depiction of the narrator of the story in the song "The Nightfly." If you'll look, he's got "Chesterfield Kings" cigarettes, for instance. B. Polhemus (talk) 03:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Nightfly

I suppose I don't understand the elaboration about the album going Platinum in the U.K., and then the offhand statement "it also went Platinum in the U.S." I favor a non-locale-centric POV on something like this. Yes, it's interesting that the album went Platinum in the U.K. more than twenty years after its release, but the article should reflect FIRST that it went Platinum in a low-key sort of way, then say something like "going Platinum in <whatever country, USA or UK, was first> in <year>, and in <later country> in <year>."

As it is, it sounds like an article specifically written for a UK audience, which is odd for an American recording artist. B. Polhemus (talk) 03:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
