You're The Reason I'm Living / 18 Yellow Roses

Originally released on Capitol 4897. Darin's second single after switching from Atlantic Records to Capitol turned out to be his biggest hit of the 1960s. Here, he clearly pays tribute to the work Ray Charles was doing with his New Sounds in Country & Western Music albums. Not only are the self-penned tune clearly country music, but Darin also adopts various characteristics of Charles' singing style.
