The Partridge Family Album

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Partridge Family Album is The Partridge Family's first album. It was released in 1970 and included their first recording, I Think I Love You. It has a picture of the whole family on the back and a small picture of David Cassidy and Shirley Jones. The album cover is made to look like an old-fashioned photo album.

The album reached #4 in the Billboard album chart. It was produced by Wes Farrell and engineered by Bob Kovach. It was arranged by Mike Melvoin, Billy Strange, Wes Farrell, and Don Peake. A few of the songs on the album were sung by 4 people who were originally supposed to be the voices of The Partridge Family before it was discovered that David Cassidy could sing. They were John and Tom Bahler, Ron Hicklin and Jackie Ward. They provided the backup vocals for all of the Partridge Family albums. The songs on the album were written by such people as Tony Romeo, Terry Cashman, Terry West, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil.
