Bobby Darin - You're The Reason I'm Living (LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo)

Description

You're the Reason I'm Living is a 1963 album by Bobby Darin. It contains Country and Western music, often with a big band twist, and features arrangements by Jimmie Haskell, Shorty Rogers and Gerald Wilson. The title track was a number three hit single. The album reached number 43 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album was built around the You're the Reason I'm Living single. This (along with the flip-side, Now You're Gone) was recorded on December 3, 1962. When the single became a bit hit, a decision was made to build an album of country songs around it. These new songs were recorded on January 13–15, 1963. It was the first time that Darin had consciously built an album around a hit single - Things and Other Things, featuring the hit Things, had been simply a pick-up album of leftovers released to cash-in on the single success. The production and release of You're the Reason I'm Living album had a knock-on effect on Darin's intended release schedule. Earthy!, his album of folk songs from around the world, had been slated for release in February 1963 (and Darin had been promoting it on TV appearances), but was pushed back to July of that year. Who Can I Count On is notable for being a duet with Merry Clayton (aka Mary Clayton), and was her first professional recording.
