[1]
Primarily a cover album, this album contains various songs from past years, especially movie themes. Cover songs include "
Call Me" (a British hit for
Petula Clark in 1964 and U.S. hit for
Chris Montez in 1965) and "
The End of the World" (a hit for
Skeeter Davis in 1963). Movie themes include "
Born Free", "
The Shadow of Your Smile", "
This Is My Song", "
Georgy Girl" and "All". Two singles came from this album: "
Coming Home Soldier" (co-written by Vinton); the song, a sequel of sorts to Vinton's earlier hit "
Mr. Lonely", reached #11 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart. The follow-up, "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow", originally written and recorded by
Ray Stevens, charted at #66.
