The Tender Touch
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work
The Tender Touch is Nelson Riddle's second studio album, released in 1956. It followed the first album by his orchestra from the year before, a collection of pop arrangements of tunes from the musical Oklahoma! The sleeve note promises the most romantic love songs, melodies as soft as a caress. Capitol Records released the album in December 1956, at the same time as the compilation This Is Sinatra! It was a busy year for the arranger: he wrote the music for the film Johnny Concho, worked on Nat King Cole's last instrumental album and had topped the charts for four weeks with Lisbon Antigua.
Within a month, Billboard counted The Tender Touch among the ten best instrumental pop records. The British World Record Club later issued it under the title Relax with Nelson Riddle.
