Does anyone know how many albums of "mood music" Jackie released? And when was the last one released?
Thanks,

Greg

A few things about that link (and 'MrBand' is right, it sure isn't complete):
- Words of Love (Capitol ST-693; on my copy, the label lists the album's title as Jackie Gleason Sings For Lovers) was actually released in 1971. Other than that, they're correct: it was his last record.
- There were a few other albums missed, namely 'Tis the Season ([S]T-2791, 1967); Irving Berlin's Music for Lovers (SW-106, 1968); Romeo & Juliet (ST-398); and Come Saturday Morning (ST-480). The last two titled albums (the latter of which contained a cover of, among other things, the Bobby Sherman teenybopper hit "Easy Come, Easy Go"!) were from 1970.
