I Think of You is the 20th long-play album by Perry Como, released by RCA Records. [1]

Contents

A review from The Gramophone said of this album, "Mr. Como takes a vocal look at songs which have been hits in recent months for other artists ... In fact, he makes every song his own with an effortless facility possessed by very few artists, and the LP is an undiluted pleasure from beginning to end."[ citation needed ] This album continues the formula of the previous LP release by including a majority selection of soft pop/rock from the charts of 1970-1971 by artists such as Simon and Garfunkel, Glen Campbell, The Carpenters, Bread, Lobo, and Ocean.
