Seattle is Perry Como's 17th 12" long-play album released by RCA Records.[2]

Backrgound

The title track was Como's first Top 40 single in four years; RCA wanted to issue an album featuring the hit single, so this album was compiled consisting mostly of unreleased material from recording sessions held during the previous three years.

Overview

This was Como's first true attempt at a contemporary 1960s sound. The album's opening track, "Happiness Comes, Happiness Goes", features distorted guitars and swirling organs.[1]

Chart performance

The album reached No. 93 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and peaked at No. 64 on the Cashbox Top 100 Albums chart.[3][4]
