Golden Memories (LP)

This is feel-good music for anyone wanting to turn down the throttle after a hectic day, sitting relaxed with a favorite drink in hand. Master Faith gives in this collection the best of his work in his own unique way with his orchestra. If you are interested in light-hearted, romantic, or laid-back music, Percy Faith and his orchestra always perform beautifully. The "Theme From A Summer Place" was a number one hit for nine weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1960, and won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1961. Other famous and remembered million sellers are "Delicado" (1952), "The Song From Moulin Rouge" (1953), and "Swedish Rhapsody" by Hugo Alfvén. Faith remains the only artist to have the best selling single of the year during both the pop singer era ("Song from Moulin Rouge") and the rock era ("Theme from a Summer Place"); and he is one of only three artists, along with Elvis Presley and The Beatles, to have the best selling single of the year twice.
