Percy Faith was one of the most popular easy listening recording artists of the '50s and '60s.
Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Faith was a child piano prodigy, giving his first recital at Massey Hall at the age of 15 and playing various movie theaters, providing the soundtrack to silent films.
Faith slowly withdrew from a professional career in the late '60s, but continued recording until just before his death in 1976.

Faith was a child prodigy on the piano, but his hopes for a career as a concert pianist ended when he injured his hands in a fire when he was 18.
Faith began recording instrumentals under his own name in 1951 and soon had a #1 hit with his adaptation of a popular Brazilian song, "Delicado." Faith had three #1 hits: "Delicado" in 1952; "Theme from 'Moulin Rouge'" in 1953, and "Theme from 'A Summer Place'" in 1960.
Conniff and Faith also served as the foundation for the Columbia Record Club, the mail-order outlet that was middle America's primary source of albums.

Percy Faith was a pianist, arranger, conductor and composer; a piano prodigy by age 15, Faith gave a recital in Toronto's famed Massey Hall.
He was also playing for the silent movie houses, but in 1926 he injured his hands in a fire, thus ending any concert career opportunities.
However, in 1940 with his budget cut, and tiring of feeling that the CBC hired kept him as their token Jewish operative, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, and later to New York City, accepting a post with the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), where he became an American citizen in 1945.

Percy Faith scored only a few films but made many albums of wonderful music from Hollywood, and here are two from 1967 and 1969.
Percy's first album of music popular with teenagers (circa early 60's!) won the gold record award; so it is no surprise there was an equally brilliant sequel "More Themes For Young Lovers." Rhythmic, but never at the expense of the melody.
Percy Faith set the standard for colorful instrumentals - Harold Arlen (remember "Stormy Weather" or "Over The Rainbow?)" penned a beautiful score for Truman Capote's exotic Broadway play "House Of Flowers." Percy Faith brings humor and beauty to his orchestral treatment of these joyous tunes; in "Adventures In The Sun," Percy Faith, who...

When Faith appreciated his material, though, he put out his best effort--his albums of Mexican and Cuban music ("Viva!," "Malaguena") are good examples.
Faith also wrote several film scores, including the Oscar-nominated "Love Me or Leave Me," "Tammy Tell Me True," and "The Oscar." He was a popular arranger with Columbia's stable of singers, and backed most of them more than once: Tony Bennett, Doris Day, and Johnny Mathis all considered him among their favorite accompanists.

At the age of eighteen, Faith's hands were injured in a fire, which put an end to his concert pianist ambitions, but arranging and composition lessons from Toronto musicians Louis Waizman led his career in a new direction, and he was soon writing for hotel orchestras, and then for Geoffrey Waddington's CKNC Radio Orchestra.
In 1938 he began a new series, Music by Faith, which was also heard in the U.S., and in 1940 this exposure resulted in his being offered a job with NBC Radio in Chicago, as musical director of the Carnation Contented Hour, which ran for seven years.
As composer, arranger and conductor, Faith was associated with scores of top-selling recordings.

Faith brought us his unique sound, rich arrangements featuring his favorite section of the orchestra - the strings, that carried the Faith signature sound of rich countermelodies and harmonic developments across sections of the orchestra.
Given that the radio work was the first half of Percy Faith's career, I maintain that this very early collection of 45's is not indicative, in any way, of the 25 years that were to follow.
I dunno, but Percy gives it a nice relaxed treatment, a rhumba beat (I think?) and it's amazing again, that we hear this for the first time, so many thanks are due, again, to the crew that produced this collection.
