Overview

Sing to Me Mr. C was recorded in the same manner as the medley segments on Perry Como's popular Wednesday night NBC-TV show, complete with performances of his opening and closing themes, plus six medleys of three full songs each. The recording time of the album was nearly 43 minutes, which was unusually long for a typical pop album of that time.[ according to whom? ] Most Hugo & Luigi produced albums are known for being cohesive and well-constructed, and most critics agreed that the material was chosen well, with the album featuring many popular standards.[ citation needed ]

Chart performance

The album peaked at No. 103 and No. 50 on Billboard's Best Selling Monaural LP's and Best Selling Stereo LP's charts, respectively, in October 1961. [4] [5] It was his first album to chart in three years. [6]
