About The Record:

The Other Side of Me, by Andy Williams, includes the 1973 recording of Solitaire from his album of the same name alongside 10 original recordings, four of which were also by Solitaire composer Neil Sedaka. After unsuccessful attempts to leave behind the formulaic album genre of easy listening covers of pop hits, The Other Side of Me offered a compromise by filling half of the sides with material that was popularized by other artists and the other half with either new or obscure selections. Although The Other Side of Me did not make it onto Billboard magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart in the US, it did spend one week on the UK album chart in October 1975 at No. 60. The UK version of the album included one additional track, Love Said Goodbye which had entered Billboard's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs of the week in the US in the issue dated January 11, 1975, and reached No. 24 over the course of seven weeks. The first song released from the US version of the album was Sad Eyes, which entered the Easy Listening chart in the October 11, 1975, issue and stayed there for seven weeks, peaking at No. 11, and the title track from the album entered the UK singles chart on March 6, 1976, for a three-week stay that took the song to No. 42.
