- Percy Faith - Theme From A Summer Place Yamaha Genos Roland G70 by Rico
Theme from A Summer Place" is a song with lyrics by Mack Discant and music by Max Steiner, written for the 1959 film A Summer Place, which starred Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue. It was recorded for the film as an instrumental by Hugo Winterhalter. Originally known as the "Molly and Johnny Theme", the piece is not the main title theme of the film, but a secondary love theme for the characters played by Dee and Donahue.
Following its initial film appearance, the theme has been recorded by many artists in both instrumental and vocal versions, and has also appeared in a number of subsequent films and television programs. The best-known cover version of the theme is an instrumental version by Percy Faith and his orchestra that was a Number One hit for nine weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1960.
Percy Faith recorded the most popular version of the theme, an instrumental orchestral arrangement, at the Columbia 30th Street Studio in New York City. It was released in September 1959 as a single on Columbia Records, credited to "Percy Faith and his Orchestra," prior to the November 1959 release of the film A Summer Place.
The single was not an immediate hit and did not enter the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart until mid-January 1960, finally reaching #1 six weeks later on February 22, 1960. It went on to set an at-the-time record of nine consecutive weeks at #1, a record which would not be broken until 1977, when "You Light Up My Life" spent ten weeks at #1. (Elvis Presley's double-sided hit "Don't Be Cruel/ Hound Dog" remained at #1 for 11 weeks in 1956 prior to the 1958 creation of the Hot 100 chart; The Beatles' "Hey Jude" tied, but did not break, the nine-week record in 1968.) It remains the longest-running #1 instrumental in the history of the chart. Billboard ranked Faith's version as the Number One song for 1960.
The Faith version reached #2 in the UK. It was also a #1 hit in Italy under the title "Scandalo Al Sole."
Faith won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1961 for his recording. This was the first movie theme and the first instrumental to win a Record of the Year Grammy.
Faith re-recorded the song twice: first, in 1969, as a female choral version, then, in 1976, as a disco version titled "Summer Place '76."
In 2008, Faith's original version was ranked at #18 on Billboard's top 100 songs during the first 50 years of the Hot 100 chart. The Billboard Book of Number One Hits called it "the most successful instrumental single of the rock era."
In 1960, Billy Vaughn included an instrumental orchestral arrangement of the theme as the title cut to his album Theme From A Summer Place released on Dot Records, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard LP chart.
In 1961, Mantovani recorded an orchestral rendition of the theme for his album Mantovani Plays Music From 'Exodus' and Other Great Themes; the album reached the Top Ten on the UK charts.
In 1961, Mexican rock band Los Nómadas recorded an instrumental version of the theme with a "teen pop" arrangement by Bill Aken (credited as Zane Ashton). The record made the top 40 charts in Mexico.[citation needed]
In 1961, American instrumentalist Chet Atkins recorded the song for his album Chet Atkins' Workshop.
In 1962, American rock and roll duo Santo & Johnny recorded a guitar-based arrangement of the theme for their album Come On In.
In 1962, the British instrumental band The Tornados included a guitar-based version on their British EP release More Sounds of the Tornados and on their U.S. LP The Original Telstar: The Sounds of the Tornadoes.
In 1966, The Mystic Moods Orchestra recorded an instrumental version on their U.S.LP record album "Nighttide".
In 1968, the Jamaican group The Crystalites recorded a rocksteady instrumental version featuring organist Ike Bennett. The song was released as a single under the artist name of "Ike B and the Crystalites", with the song entitled "Illya Kuryakin", although (as an instrumental) it has no overt connection with the spy character Illya Kuryakin from the 1960s TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. apart from this title.
In 1969, the American instrumental rock band The Ventures included a cover of the theme on their album Hawaii Five-O, which reached #11 on the Billboard LP chart and was later certified gold.
Brad Swanson's album The Whispering Organ Sounds of Brad Swanson (Thunderbird Records) included the song
If you are person who loves this you have a sweet , gentle soul..

That must be me then ! I had summer place played at my Dad's funeral and a few weeks ago at my mum's funeral 💔
Beautiful! I have loved this song since I was a little girl. My sister is older than me and can read music. She used to have the sheet music to this song back in the 60's. I used to ask her to play this for me all the time.

A Theme from A Summer Place. I am now 75 years old. I first heard this instrumental classical melody at the age of 13, my first year at boarding school. It was so beautiful I just burst into tears. Thereafter whenever I think of the melody, I play it again and again and again. Thank you for bringing such joy to my heart..😘😊
Thank you nice to listen, you're amazing playing remembering my childhood that passedby.
Beautiful. As someone else wrote, I nearly didn't listen to an organ version. Glad I did. Love the full sound from about 1:30,it gives me pictures of waves and backwash on a beach. Thank you, and best wishes.

This tune always takes me back to when my elder sister got married in 1963. I was in my early teens when life seemed much simpler. Halcyon days!
Love this theme song A Summer Place. It's my favorite. You play beautifully. Thanks Rico. 💕💖
Beautiful !! but.. the level of the right could be a little higher , at the beginning the rythm coming from the left overcomes the right
Just amazing what you get out of a keyboard! I see you changed your equipment a bit. If you have the time, can you explain what they are and why?
HI Gary, thanks for your kind comment nothing changed only the upper keyboard from T5 to Genos :) Genos best Yamaha keyboard they made ;) and there are some great drums into REVO :)
Greetings Rico

Why people in the 70s can make beautiful songs like this with simple chords and play? What happen to musicians today?

Good morning Rico breathtaking beautiful dreamy music made my day 🌹greetings Simone
Almost 3 minutes of pure pleasure. One of my favourite pieces of music played superbly. How I wish I could play like this ! Maybe starting playing at age 67 is a bit too late ??
It’s never too late:))
no, age doesnt matter, you can
@@teofilomanarin435 Wish I had your faith in my ability :-)
Rico, good evening! Many years ago, when I first heard this tune, I loved it forever.Thank you for the beautiful performance of this masterpiece!
this is one of the best versions i have heard of this piece of music it seems so full and lush I just want a cool drink a deckchair on the beach and this playing hmmm just chillin
Jayson flesher I love this.
NÁO É NÃO.....ONDE ESTA A VOLTINHA QUANDO DA A PARADA ??? SE NÃO FIZER A VOLTINHA A MUSICA PERDE A GRAÇA...
Brilliant brilliant Rico. Really enjoyed listening to that. Loving the genos as well. It's a nice song to play as and easy to learn as I have
Brilliant keyboardist . You always brighten my days .take care .
I really like that song. I remember when it came out in 1957. It makes me imagine a summer cabin on a beach somewhere. Delightful!
One of the best "pop" instrumentals ever recorded. The Percy Faith Orchestra released it in the fall of 1959 and rose to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on February 22, 1960, where it remained for a record NINE straight weeks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_from_A_Summer_Place
It is so nice to hear music from the past plays so well you are easy to listen to nice style
Wow love the way u play this song!!! Beautiful!!
Excellent work there with the G70... How about a new one (classic) like David Foster's theme from the 1988 winter Olympics ??
Очень красиво сыграна мелодия. Спасибо!!!❤👍
oh what a music,it's so wonderful,it's touch through the heart.
I wish more people would remember that Max Steiner wrote this theme and not Percy Faith, the latter whose arrangement made the theme so popular.
As usual pure pleasure. Brilliant playing.thankyou.
Superb sound, very well played, thanks Rico. Regards from UK.
What an excellent performance, take my breath away . BEAUTIFUL MY FRIEND .
👍
My best days
Wow creatively done!!! The best of times to you maestro..
