There Must Be a Way is an album by American-Italian singer Jimmy Roselli, released in 1967.

Overview

After the success with "There Must Be a Way", his only song to reach the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, peaking at No. 93 and No. 13 on the Billboard Easy Listening, he recorded the album, There Must Be a Way.[1] It peaked at No. 191 on the Billboard Top LPs chart during a three-week stay on the chart.[2] On Record World's Top 100 LP's the album peaked at No. 89, during a five-week run on the chart.[3]

The album features the hit Roselli song, and other hits from years before, like the Dean Martin hit song, "In the Chapel in the Moonlight", a more orchestral version of Johnnie Ray's hit "Walkin' My Baby Back Home", and some country songs.

"All the Time" was released as a single with the album's release, peaking at No. 19 on the Easy Listening chart,[4] "Oh! What It Seemed to Be" was released as a single the next year and reached No. 35 on the Easy Listening chart.[5] The single stayed on the chart for three weeks.[6]

Critical reception

Billboard wrote "Featuring his hit single, 'There Must Be a Way', Roselli's open, full tones score throughout this highly commercial LP of standards and today's popular tunes. 'There Goes My Everything' and 'Get Out of My Heart' have the right country feeling."[7]
