Concept
Just One Time (album)
Summary
Just One Time is the sixteenth solo studio album by American country singer Connie Smith. It was released in June 1971 via RCA Victor and contained ten tracks. The album was named for the lead single of the same name, which reached the top five of the North American country charts in 1971. The album itself would chart in the top 20 of the American country LP's chart following its release. Additionally, Billboard magazine gave the project a positive reception when reviewing it in 1971.
After discovering Christianity in 1968, Smith's commercial success lost some of its momentum. Although she had a string of top ten singles between 1964 and 1968, Smith's future releases following 1968 made the top ten with less frequency. Yet, she remained popular with 1970's top five song, "I Never Once Stopped Loving You", and 1971's top five song, "Just One Time". The latter single inspired the title of Smith's next album. Smith's friend and fellow country artist, Loretta Lynn, wrote the album's liner notes: "time after time [Connie] puts her heart and soul in everything she sings."
The recording sessions for the making of Just One Time were Smith's first for the year of 1971. She and record producer Bob Ferguson made the album on February 15, February 16 and February 25 of that year. Overdub sessions featuring a vocal chorus were added following the laying down of Smith's original vocals. The sessions were held at RCA Victor Studios, located in Nashville, Tennessee. A total of ten tracks comprised the album. The disc opens with the title track, which was written and originally recorded by country artist Don Gibson. Gibson's version had originally been a number one country single in 1960. Smith did not want to record the song since it had already been done, but Bob Ferguson encouraged her. "So that was one of those many times that I recorded a song on Bob's apt advice," Smith recounted. The album also included a cover of "I Love You More and More Every Day", which was a top ten pop single for Al Martino in 1964.
