Love Theme from "Romeo and Juliet" (A Time for Us) is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on July 30, 1969, by Columbia Records. Of its 11 tracks, eight had been hits for other performers earlier that year, and one of the remaining three, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", would become a huge success for Dionne Warwick several months later.
The Mathis recording of "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs in the US in the issue dated May 17, 1969, and peaked at number 35 during its three weeks there. The title track from the album debuted on that same chart two months later, in the July 5 issue, and got as high as number eight over the course of 13 weeks. It also had a three-week run on the Billboard Hot 100 that began in the July 26 issue and took it to number 96. The first of the album's 24 consecutive weekly appearances on the magazine's Top LP's chart came two months later, in the September 20 issue, and led to a number 52 showing.
Love Theme from "Romeo and Juliet" (A Time for Us) was released for the first time on compact disc on June 9, 2009, as one of two albums on one CD, the other LP being the previous studio effort by Mathis, Those Were the Days.
Billboard wrote, "Mathis is in top form in this latest LP outing as he offers his own special interpretations of some of today's biggest hits."
