And I Love You So (Perry Como album)

And I Love You So is the 21st long-play album by Perry Como, released by RCA Records in 1973.

As with It's Impossible, this album was issued to feature a surprise hit single, Don McLean's "And I Love You So". Como brought the song to the national top 40 (Number One Easy Listening). Previous versions of the song by Bobby Goldsboro and Bobby Vinton had met with mild or no success. Como's version was so successful, RCA asked him to record the song in Spanish. When Como said he did not speak the language, he received personal Spanish lessons from the head of RCA International to get the record made. As on previous Como LPs, this collection features selections from then contemporary recording artists such as Roberta Flack, The Carpenters, Ray Price, Tony Orlando and Dawn, Bread and Mac Davis. The album was among the last to be produced by Chet Atkins before he stepped down from his executive position at RCA's Nashville studios.
