Cy Coleman: The Party's On Me (RCA APL1-1252, Released 1976, complete LP)

This week's Grab Bag Thursday pick is a rather curious album, The Party's On Me, by pianist, arranger and composer Cy Coleman. This album is a strange mashup of instrumental music, some of it set to a disco beat with vocals--it is very much of its time. Tracks include current hits (like "Love Will Keep Us Together") and classics ("Chloe"). Read a brief bio beneath the track list. Track List ---------------- Chloë Love Will Keep Us Together Touch Me In The Morning The Party's On Me Bring Back Those Good Old Days Speak Low Medley: Never Can Say Goodbye / Doctor's Orders Côte D'Azur There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This Time In A Bottle Coleman had a few hits earlier in his career, such as "The Best Is Yet To Come" and "Witchcraft" (both of which Frank Sinatra covered), as well as "Playboy's Theme," which was used as the theme music for Hugh Hefner's television snow. Soon after, Coleman would write music for television and the stage, where he won 19 Tony Awards from 1963 to 1997.
