I Looked Back / A World Of Love (That I Found In Your Arms) (Le Ciel, Le Soleil Et La Mer)

Released in 1967 on the RCA Victor label, this single features Perry Como supported by The Ray Charles Singers, a vocal group frequently associated with his television specials and recording sessions. The A-side, 'I Looked Back,' and the B-side, 'A World of Love (That I Found In Your Arms),' were part of Como’s continued output during the mid-1960s, a period when his music maintained a consistent, polished soft-pop aesthetic that favored standard orchestration and smooth vocal delivery.

The B-side represents an English-language adaptation of the French song 'Le Ciel, Le Soleil et la Mer,' originally written and performed by François Hardy. Like many of Como’s releases from this era, the track was aimed at an adult contemporary audience, focusing on sentimental themes and accessible melodies. While the single was intended for radio play and consistent airtime on popular variety programs, it remains a characteristic example of the easy-listening style that defined Como's enduring career during his transition into the latter half of the decade.
