RCA Victor quickly released his cover of Don McLean’s “And I Love You So,” which had appeared on the singer/songwriter’s little-heard 1970 debut album Tapestry, as a single, and when the disc showed signs of chart success (it eventually made the pop Top 40 and hit number one on the easy listening charts), Como and Atkins went back into the studio in March and April to complete an album by cutting versions of recent pop hits.
