Wikipedia / Time, Time

Time, Time is a 1967 studio album by Ed Ames. It reached the US pop album charts, following the success of its namesake single. The album mostly consists of cover songs, with four being from musicals/films.

Background

In early 1967, Ames had his breakout with the AC topping single "My Cup Runneth Over, which also reached No. 8 on the Hot 100, after that he recorded his most successful album with the same name, which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Top LPs.

Right after those he recorded Time, Time (Tu As Beau Sourire), which also topped the AC chart, but didn't do as well on the Hot 100, peaking at No. 61, so with that continued success he recorded another album, and like last time, with the same name as the single, but scrapped the French.
