Welcome!

This site provides an interactive discography to the recorded works of Percy Faith.

We're now the home of Bill Halvorsen's Percy Faith pages. Bill's subsite features dozens of audio and video files, articles, interviews, and commentary.

Full audio is available for more than 900 recordings. They can be played in the United States but are not available in all countries. Sony Music owns and provides most of the recordings so I don't know why they restrict access to certain countries.

All of Percy Faith's recordings as a solo artist were added in late 2015. I'm slowly updating all the backings for other artists (e.g. Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett). Please be patient... I've gotten through 1950 but still have a couple of hundred to manually add.

Please check out samples of Percy's quadraphonic recordings that are currently available on SACD.

Remember When (compilation CD)

While perusing Alan's discography, I came across an obscure reference to a various-artists compilation containing Percy's second arrangement of "Swedish Rhapsody." Of course, I couldn't resists buying a copy...

Percy Faith at homeI haven't listened to a Percy Faith album in more than six months so I took advantage of a rainy day here in Manassas to put up my feet and play a few sides. As I looked over album jackets, I was reminded about something we lost when converting from Lp to CD: all that space that the packaging afforded for photos and liner notes. Even when photos were included on CD reissues, they were often reproduced too small to make out any detail.

I've finally embarked on the project to preserve some of those old photos. Most of what I have is from old Lps so the scans aren't very good. If you have old publicity photos that you'd like to scan and share, please send me an email.

This set can be easily obtained and would make a great Christmas gift for any Percy Faith fan.  (updated June 17)

One year ago, Rick Gleitsman (Percy's grandson) emailed me that Sony Japan was about to release a 12-CD box set. This morning I was delighted to learn from a Japanese fan that this set was indeed released last year! (updated May 19)

Percy Faith CD: Today's Themes for Young LoversI was browsing titles at Amazon and came across a Today's Themes For Young Lovers compact disc, which had previously only been available a 2-on-1 Collectables reissue. Of course, I couldn't resist buying a copy...

Last November I found this program from Percy's 1974 tour of Japan. It's all in Japanese and contains a lot of advertising. I've scanned it and created a PDF for downloading.

Today I discovered that "Baubles, Bangles and Beads" released on Amour, Amor, Amore is not the same as the one that appeared on Kismet...
