Sequel is the ninth studio album by the American singer/songwriter Harry Chapin, released in 1981 (see 1981 in music), and the last complete album released during Harry's lifetime. A tenth studio album, The Last Protest Singer, made up of material he was working on at the time of his death, was released about seven years after he died.
The title song "Sequel" reports further events in the lives of Harry and Sue, the characters in Chapin's hit song "Taxi" and peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (the original went to #24).
The album was later rereleased under the title Remember When the Music with the addition of two previously unreleased tracks.
