Perry como the songs i love


The Songs I Love was Perry Como's 11th RCA Victor 12" long-play album and the first featuring RCA Victor's Dynagroove technology.

Contents

Perry Como hosted an hour-long program on NBC TV until June 1963, the year that The Songs I Love was released. A regular feature of the show would seat Como on a distinctive set that spelled out "Mr. C." while he would croon a favorite song. A photo of the set adorns the cover of Songs I Love. This album reproduces the effect of that segment (which producers Hugo & Luigi describe as "one of the few great traditions in television") over a dozen soft ballads such as "Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words)" and "This Is All I Ask." The leadoff track, "The Songs I Love", sets the tone for everything that follows, and, not surprisingly, it turns out that pop standards are the songs Como loves. The Songs I Love was a commercially successful album aimed at fans of The Perry Como Show, to whom it is recommended.
