About The Record:

Love Theme from The Godfather by Andy Williams made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LPs in 1972, and remained on the album chart for 26 weeks, peaking at number 29. It entered the UK album chart three months later and reached number 11 over the course of 16 weeks. One month later it received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. The first song on the album to be released as a single was Music from Across the Way, which entered Billboard's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs of the week in the US in 1972, and stayed on the chart for four weeks, eventually peaking at number 30. The album's title song (subtitled Speak Softly Love) entered that same chart three months later for its first of 12 weeks, during which time it reached number seven. It also entered the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 11 weeks there, where it made it to number 34. The next single, MacArthur Park, "bubbled under" the Hot 100.
