Percy Faith got a lot of mileage out of his "Themes for Young Lovers" concept of albums of contemporary romantic music, withThemes for YoungLovers(1963) bringing him a gold record certification andMore Themes for Young Lovers(1964) also seeing some chart action, even in themuchchangedBeatlesera of pop music. The title Today's Themes for Young Lovers pointedly signaled that Faith was not to be dissuaded by theresurgenceof rock and, as usual, he found some appealing soft sounds from the recent charts to appropriate, includingHarpers Bizarre's "The 59th StreetBridge Song (Feelin' Groovy),"Herman's Hermits' "There's a Kind of Hush (All Over the World),"Engelbert Humperdinck's "Release Me,"Al Martino's "Mary in the Morning,"Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You,"the Association's "Windy,"the Turtles' "Happy Together," andNancyandFrank Sinatra's "Somethin' Stupid," all of them hits in the first half of 1967. Usually, Faith employed his angelic female chorus to sing the lyrics in an airy, pleasant manner, but occasionally he strategically left them out. For example, he did well to treat "Somethin' Stupid" as an instrumental, which emphasized the attractiveness of the melody in the absence of the somewhat sarcastic lyrics that would not have sung well coming from a chorus. Faith had been pushed down from the top of the charts by the British Invasion, but his albums continued to appeal to an audience that appreciated the softer sounds on the hit parade, especially when they had been laundered through the medium of strings and choral singing.
