Time, Time is a 1967 studio album by Ed Ames. It reached the US pop album charts, following the success of its namesake single.
Background
In early 1967, Ames had his breakout with the AC topping single "My Cup Runneth Over,3 which also reached No. 8 on the Hot 100,4 after that he recorded his most successful album with the same name, which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Top LPs.5
Right after those he recorded Time, Time (Tu As Beau Sourire), which also topped the AC chart,3 but didn't do as well on the Hot 100, peaking at No. 61,4 so with that continued success he recorded another album, and like last time, with the same name as the single, but scrapped the French.
Overview
The album sold well and peaked at No. 77 on the Billboard Top LPs5 and at No. 57 on the Cashbox Top 100 Albums charts. The album mostly consists of cover songs, with 3 being from musicals/films.
Reception
Record World put it in its "Albums of the Week" section, writing, "Currently one of the hottest male record sellers, Ed Ames tags this newpackage of romantic ballads after his 'Time, Time' single"6
