Percy Faith - New Thing & Black Magic Woman (1974, 1971) [2019] Hi-Res

Percy Faith was a Canadian bandleader, orchestrator, composer and conductor, known for his lush arrangements of pop and Christmas standards. He is often credited with popularizing the "easy listening" or "mood music" format. Faith became a staple of American popular music in the 1950s and continued well into the 1960s. Though best known for his recording career, Faith also occasionally scored motion pictures. This Vocalion's reissue features 2 LP on 1 SACD - New Thing (1974) & Black Magic Woman (1971).
