Chronological Notes: Three songs included within the 1977 compilation "Where You're Concerned" ( RCA AFL1-2641 ) are designated as not being produced by Roncom Music: "You Light Up My Life" and "Feelings" and "When I Need You" all of which were apparently recorded in Hollywood, California. Two other songs were recorded under similar circumstances but not released: "Marie" and "That's What Friends Are For" about which there is no additional information other than their respective serial numbers. Interestingly, the Burt Bacharach / Carole Bayer Sager song "That's What Friends Are For" was not published until 1982/85, several years after Perry's first recording of this title. Perry recorded the Bacharach/Sager song in 1987 at Evergreen Studios, Burbank, California, for his last RCA Victor record album "Perry Como Today" ( BMG 6368-1-R STEREO 1987 ).
