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

Released by RCA Victor in 1967, this single features Perry Como supported by the Ray Charles Singers, a vocal group frequently associated with Como’s television programs and recording sessions. The A-side, I Looked Back, fits comfortably within the sentimental, easy-listening ballad style that defined Como's middle-to-late career, reflecting the polished, orchestral production values prevalent in pop music of the late sixties.

The B-side, A World Of Love, is an English-language adaptation of the French song Le Ciel, Le Soleil Et La Mer, originally written and performed by Antoine. Como’s version sought to capture the breezy, melodic charm of the original while anchoring it in the accessible vocal pop arrangements managed by his longtime producers. It was received as a standard entry in his extensive catalog, designed to appeal to his core demographic of radio and variety show listeners who favored his trademark calm, conversational singing style.
