Johnny Pearson And His Orchestra - Touch Me In The Morning (1973)

Touch Me In The Morning (1973) is one of the most expressive and refined works by British maestro Johnny Pearson, released on the Penny Farthing label during the golden era of pop-symphonic light rock. Named after Diana Ross's mega-hit of the same name, the album is a collection of instrumental interpretations of the most important pop-soul and soft rock hits of the early 1970s, complemented by Pearson's original arrangements. The album showcases the pianist's signature style: meticulous attention to string detail, soft jazz harmonies, and the impeccable melancholic atmosphere of a 1970s British studio orchestra.
