Look to Your Heart is Perry Como's 16th RCA Victor 12" long-play album, released in late November of 1968.[2]
Overview
This album, released shortly after the previous Christmas LP, is one filled with tender ballads and soft standards. Sessions were recorded five months prior at Webster Hall studios in New York where several early Como albums were produced. A number of these selections were first introduced a year earlier on the 1967 NBC Perry Como Holiday Special. It included a recent single, (The) Father of Girls. Work by composers Johnny Mercer, Lerner and Loewe and Rodgers and Hart are highlights in this collection.
The album contained one minor hit single, "The Father of Girls." It reached No. 92 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 10 Easy Listening in the winter of 1968, preceding the release of the LP,[3] but the LP itself didn't chart.
