From the back cover: The popularity of the love ballad goes back further than man can confidently trace, and it's surprising how many of the most enduring of these songs have been of the lonesome kind. Love is, after all, an emotion as changeable as it is powerful; and for every love that has worked out just fine for both parties, there have undoubtedly been a dozen more that ended up with bruised feelings and broken hearts.

The popularity of Roy Clark (among a select circle of kinfolks and acquaintances) dates back to April 15, 1933, when he was born in Merherrin, Virginia. It expanded suddenly and phenomenally worldwide just over two years ago with the release of his first big hit "The Tip Of My Fingers." That was a lonesome love ballad of the very finest kind, and the song and the singer became one of the most applauded country combinations of the year. Roy is still called on to sing it wherever he goes; and because his warm, husky voice gives such rich expression to these songs, he is constantly asked to record more of the same.
