1972 The Partridge Family – The Partridge Family Notebook
The Partridge Family Notebook is the sixth studio album by The Partridge Family. Released in November 1972, the album entered Billboard’s Top LP’s chart in December, peaking at no. 41 in January 1973 – the same week in which its lead single, a cover of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil’s “Looking Through the Eyes of Love”, peaked at 39 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The album remained in the Top 200 for 16 weeks, and was the first by the Partridge Family not to reach the Top 40.
A second US single, “Friend and a Lover”, was released in March 1973 but stalled at no. 99 on the Hot 100.
