Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head (Mel Tormé album)

As with 1966's Right Now!, Raindrops consists mostly of cover versions of popular songs of the late 1960s. This would be the last studio album Tormé would record before taking an eight-year hiatus; he would return to recording in 1977 with Tormé: A New Album.
