About Days of Wine and Roses

Days of Wine and Roses and Other TV Requests is the eleventh studio album by American pop singer Andy Williams and was released in April 1963 by Columbia Records following his first season as host of his variety series, The Andy Williams Show. The LP has a studio recording of the closing theme from the show, "May Each Day", and continues the format of his previous Columbia releases by including songs from the 1920s ("When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles with You)"), 1930s ("Exactly Like You", "Falling in Love with Love"), 1940s ("It's a Most Unusual Day", "You Are My Sunshine"), and 1950s ("I Really Don't Want to Know"). The album made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated April 20 of that year and remained on the album chart for 107 weeks, spending 16 consecutive weeks at number one. The album received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America on September 19, 1963, becoming his first to do so, while his 1962 album Moon River and Other Great Movie Themes followed suit one month later. For its release in the UK, the album was retitled Can't Get Used to Losing You and Other Requests, and it spent its only week on the album chart there at number 16 in 1965. The single from the album, "Can't Get Used to Losing You," made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on March 7, 1963, eventually spending four weeks at number two during its 15-week stay. On the Easy Listening chart it spent four weeks at number one. Its B-side, "Days of Wine and Roses" reached number 26 on the Hot 100 and number nine, Easy Listening.
