Sneaker (album)

Sneaker is the debut album by the band Sneaker. It was released in 1981 on Handshake Records.

It contains the hit single, "More Than Just the Two of Us" (which peaked at number 34 in the U.S. charts, and number 17 on the Adult Contemporary chart).

Background and recording

The album's lead track, "Don't Let Me In", was written by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, who recorded a songwriting demo of it in the late 1960s. However, Sneaker were the first artist to record the song for release.

Michael Carey Schneider wrote the opening to "More Than Just the Two of Us" on piano, influenced by Barry Manilow, and Mitch Crane then wrote the vocal melody and lyrics. The lyrics were written about Crane's pending separation and divorce from his wife.
