For The Young At Heart was Perry Como's seventh RCA Victor 12" long-play album, released in 1959 and the fifth recorded in full "living" stereophonic sound. "For The Young At Heart" was a concept album with all the songs having "Young" in their title. It is also the first Perry Como album produced by Hugo & Luigi.
The producers Hugo Peretti & Luigi Creatore banned strings from the studio, instead employing a nine-piece horn section, a prominent rhythm section with lots of guitar, and an ever-present chorus. The arrangements by O.B. Masingill, although uncredited, are quite unique, bright and uptempo with a touch of swing.
