Sing to Me Mr. C was Perry Como's Eighth RCA Victor 12" long-play album.[2][3] Joe Lipman was the chief music arranger for the release.

Sing To Me Mr. C was recorded in the same manner as the medley segments on Perry Como's popular Wednesday night NBC-TV show, complete with performances of his opening and closing themes, plus six medleys of three full songs each. The recording time of the album was nearly 43 minutes, which was unusually long for a typical pop album of that time. Most Hugo & Luigi produced albums are known for being cohesive and well constructed and most critics agreed that the material was well-chosen, with the album featuring many popular standards.
