Percy Faith And His Orchestra artist popular songs |
Percy Faith was a band leader and famous instrumental artist. In 1960, after the big band era ended and well into the rock era, Percy Faith had a number one hit song with The Theme From A Summer Place. This instrumental band song became the top song of the year, top song of the decade, and perhaps the top instrumental of the recorded era. In 1969, Percy Faith remade the song with vocals. Then in 1976, he redid the song again as an instrumental dance version, retitling it Summer Place '76. |
