About The Record:

Born Free, by Roger Williams, is a collection of easy-listening piano instrumentals featuring tracks from popular films and contemporary hits. Produced by Hy Grill and arranged by Ralph Carmichael, the album showcases Williams’ signature sparkling arpeggios and gentle arrangements across 12 songs, including Born Free, Strangers in the Night, and Edelweiss. The title track, Born Free, from the motion picture of the same name, became a major hit, reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Adult Contemporary chart for six non-consecutive weeks in 1966. Other notable tracks like Sunny and Cherish reflect the album’s blend of cinematic and pop influences, though no other singles charted as prominently. With a total runtime of approximately 31 minutes, the album remains a testament to Williams’ status as a leading pop instrumentalist.
