In the Arms of Love is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released on December 19, 1966, by Columbia Records and was the last of twelve consecutive Williams studio LPs produced by Robert Mersey.
The album made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated January 21, 1967, and remained on the album chart for 22 weeks, peaking at number 21.
The title song from the album was released as a single in July 1966, one month before the release of the film What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?, the soundtrack of which is performed by the song's composer, Henry Mancini, and includes instrumental and vocal versions of the song. The film opened on August 31, 1966, and Williams' version of "In the Arms of Love" first appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 in the issue of the magazine dated August 27, eventually reaching number 49 over the course of eight weeks. The song performed even better on the Easy Listening chart after debuting in the issue dated July 30 and spending two weeks at number one during a 17-week stay. It began its chart run in the UK shortly thereafter, on September 24, and stayed around for seven weeks, peaking at number 33.
The album was released on compact disc for the first time as one of two albums on one CD by Collectables Records on January 16, 2001, the other album being Williams's Columbia release from April 1963, Days of Wine and Roses and Other TV Requests. It was also released as one of two albums on one CD by Sony Music Distribution on May 14, 2001, paired this time with Williams's Columbia album from the spring of 1967, Born Free. The Collectables CD was included in a box set entitled Classic Album Collection, Vol. 1, which contains 17 of his studio albums and three compilations and was released on June 26, 2001.
