Percy Faith And His Orchestra - A Summer Place

Review by Nicos Legakis

A Summer Place by Percy Faith And His Orchestra: A Retro Gem That Still Shines If you're into lush orchestral pop with a side of nostalgia, A Summer Place by Percy Faith And His Orchestra might just be your next favorite throwback listen. Released in 1971 across the US, Australia, and Canada under labels like Harmony and Summit, this album is basically a warm hug for your ears. It's got all the vibes of those lazy summer afternoons we wish would last forever. Now, let’s dive into some tracks because—honestly—not every song hits the same way. For me, “The Theme From ‘A Summer Place’” stands out big time. You’ve probably heard it somewhere before, even if you didn’t know its name. The melody feels like stepping into an old black-and-white movie where everyone’s dressed fancy and life seems simpler (and maybe a little more romantic). It’s one of those tunes that sneaks up on you when you least expect it and suddenly you’re swaying along without even realizing it. Classic Percy Faith magic right there! Another banger is “Somewhere My Love.” Yeah, yeah, I know it sounds super cheesy saying "banger" about something so smooth, but hear me out. This track has this sweeping, emotional build-up that makes you feel like you’re running through fields or reuniting with someone you haven’t seen in years. Or okay fine, maybe it’s just me being overly dramatic—but hey, isn’t that what good music does? Makes you feel stuff? One thing worth mentioning is how Didier Delaunoy nailed the sleeve notes. They give you a bit of context without overexplaining things, which is kinda nice. Feels personal, almost like he sat down with you over coffee to chat about why these songs matter. Looking back, albums like A Summer Place remind us how much mood matters in music. Sure, today’s playlists are packed with beats and drops, but sometimes you need that slow-burn elegance to really hit different. Plus, can we talk about how this record came out in three countries? Back then, that was no small feat—it shows how universal this kind of sound could be. So yeah, whether you’re dusting off vinyl at a yard sale or streaming it late at night, A Summer Place deserves a spot in your rotation. Honestly though, listening to it makes me wonder… do they still make orchestras like this anymore? Or are we stuck scrolling TikTok while strings fade into obscurity? Food for thought.

I’m 74 years old listening to this, we just celebrated our 50 year wedding anniversary. We have 3 wonderful children who are married to loving spouses. We also have 2 of the cutest sweetest grandsons. So can somebody explain to me why I’m crying a storm right now?
