Our Song is an album by American singer Jack Jones, released in 1967.
Background
The album was recorded and released after two successful singles, "Now I Know" and the song the album was titled after, "Our Song". It features orchestral arrangements typical of Jones's Kapp era, with lush string backgrounds and smooth pop-jazz orchestration. The album includes the McCartney-penned Beatles song, "Michelle," but otherwise avoids cover songs.[3]
The album debuted on the Billboard Top LPs chart in October 1967, peaking at No. 148 and remaining on the chart for seven weeks.[4]
