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.

I found a Tony Bennett/Percy Faith concert program from around 1955. I've scanned it and created a PDF for downloading.

On March 21, Sony Music Japan reissued two Percy Faith albums: Disco Party and Summer Place '76. The front stickers and OBI strips advertise "Disco Fever" apparently celebrating 40 years of disco (1978-2018).

Happy New Year! Today I'm posting an appropriately titled brochure from Japan: All About Percy Faith (25mb PDF file). This mid-1960s advertisement shows some of the unique album covers available in Japan before the 1968 CBS/Sony deal...
