About You've Got a Friend

You've Got a Friend is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on August 11, 1971, by Columbia Records. The phrase "Today's Great Hits" can be found above the title on both sides of the record jacket as well as both sides of the LP label as if to emphasize that this is essentially an album covering songs that were recently on the charts. This was a common practice of many vocalists of the period, so much so in fact that fellow Columbia artist Andy Williams also released an album titled You've Got a Friend in August 1971 on which he coincidentally covers seven of the 11 tracks that Mathis recorded for this album. The Mathis record made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated September 4, 1971, and remained there for 10 weeks, peaking at number 80. The single from this album, "If We Only Have Love", was projected to be a hit in the "Top 60 Pop Spotlight" in the issue of Billboard dated October 9, 1971, and was listed as a "Pick Single" in the magazine's February 26, 1972, issue but failed to reach either its Hot 100 or Easy Listening charts
