Question: Let There Be Love is Joni James debut album, recorded in which year, "I Need You Now," which was to have followed the hit "My Love, My Love" but was canceled when Eddie Fisher came out with a version recorded several weeks after Joni's?
Context: Edwin John "Eddie" Fisher (August 10, 1928 – September 22, 2010) was an American singer and actor.  He was the most successful pop singles artist during the first half of the 1950s, selling millions of records and hosting his own TV show.  Fisher divorced his first wife, actress Debbie Reynolds, to marry Reynolds' best friend, actress Elizabeth Taylor, after Taylor's husband, film producer Mike Todd, was killed in a plane crash.  The scandalous affair was widely reported, bringing unfavorable publicity to Fisher.  He later married Connie Stevens.  Fisher fathered Carrie Fisher and Todd Fisher with Reynolds, and Joely Fisher and Tricia Leigh Fisher with Stevens. Faith is the third studio album by country artist Faith Hill, released in 1998.  Due to the success of the single "This Kiss" in Australia and the UK, the album was released under the title Love Will Always Win, featuring the title track, a new version of "Piece of My Heart" and two new versions of "Let Me Let Go", which replace "You Give Me Love", "My Wild Frontier", "Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me" and the original version of "Let Me Let Go".  In some countries, "It Matters to Me", the title track and hit single from Hill's second album, is also included as a bonus track.  "Better Days" was previously recorded by Bekka & Billy on their debut album.  "Love Will Always Win" was later issued as a single by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood from Brooks' album "The Lost Sessions".  "I Love You" was originally recorded by Celine Dion for her album, "Falling into You".  The album was released on April 21, 1998 and received a six-time platinum certification from the RIAA.  As of October 6, 2003, sales were RIAA-certified at six million. Joni Lee Jenkins (born 1957) is an American country music singer.  The daughter of Conway Twitty, she recorded several singles as Joni Lee.  Her most successful solo single was "I'm Sorry Charlie", which peaked at number 16 on Hot Country Songs.  The song was included on a self-titled album for MCA Records in 1976.  Lee also sang with her father on "Touch the Hand" and "Don't Cry Joni" on his album "The High Priest of Country Music", but she was not credited on the charts for either. "Have You Heard?"  is a popular song written by Lew Douglas, Frank LaVere and LeRoy W. Rodde and published in 1952.  The biggest hit version was recorded by Joni James in 1952, charting the next year.  The song was revived by The Duprees and became a hit again in 1963. "Revolution" is a song by the Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney.  Three versions of the song were recorded in 1968: a slow, bluesy arrangement (titled "Revolution 1") for the Beatles' self-titled double album, commonly known as "the White Album"; a more abstract musical collage (titled "Revolution 9") that originated as the latter part of "Revolution 1" and appears on the same album; and a faster, hard rock version similar to "Revolution 1", released as the B-side of the "Hey Jude" single.  Although the single version was issued first, it was recorded several weeks after "Revolution 1", as a re-make specifically intended for release as a single. "Say (All I Need)" is a song by American pop rock band OneRepublic.  It is the third single released from their debut album "Dreaming Out Loud" and follows the global success of their previous top ten singles, "Apologize" and "Stop and Stare".  OneRepublic vocalist Ryan Tedder has commented that "Say (All I Need") is his "favorite track on the album."  All five members of the band Ryan Tedder, Zach Filkins, Drew Brown, Eddie Fisher and Brent Kutzle share writing and composing credits on the song.  The single was released in the UK on June 2, 2008 and features their Live Lounge cover of Duffy's single "Mercy".  The single was released on June 24, 2008 in the United States. "Chelsea Morning" is a song written and composed by Joni Mitchell and recorded for the singer's second album, "Clouds," which she released in 1969.  Prior to it coming out on the Mitchell album, the song had been issued as a single by Judy Collins earlier in the year and as a track on the debut album by Fairport Convention in 1968.  Jennifer Warnes recorded it for her debut album, "I Can See Everything," also in 1968, and, in 1969, this version was released as a single.  The earliest commercial appearance of the song, however, was likely its interpretation by Dave Van Ronk on his 1967 album "Dave Van Ronk and the Hudson Dusters." Let There Be Love is Joni James debut album, recorded in 1953 and released by MGM Records at the end of the year.  It was released in a four-disc 10-inch 78-rpm record box, in both a two-disc 7-inch 45-rpm extended-play foldout album and a four-disc 45-rpm regular-play box and on a 10-inch 33⅓-rpm album.  The serial number, 222, coincidentally included James's lucky number, "22," which appeared in many of her record serial numbers all over the world.  The album is the first to present its songs as a book in music, opening with "Let There Be Love" and closing with "I'll Be Seeing You", with the songs telling a story start to finish.  The memorable cover was done at M-G-M Pictures Studios in Culver City by artist Russ Gale.  From the album a single of "Let There Be Love" and "You're Nearer" was shipped to radio stations.  Then, by public demand, a single of "You're My Everything" and "You're Nearer" was released.  This album offered Joni's second recording of "Let There Be Love," which had been released in an earlier version in 1952 as her first single on Sharp Records in Chicago, then going to M-G-M Records for further distribution.  Both recordings were arranged and conducted by Lew Douglas.  "Let There Be Love" went to the top of the album charts and was the sixth-best-selling album of 1953.  In 1956 the album was reissued as a 12-inch L.P. and in three single EPs; there was no EP set including the entire album.  For this release, four Joni James singles were added, but one of them had never been released.  That was "I Need You Now," which was to have followed the hit "My Love, My Love" but was canceled when Eddie Fisher came out with a version recorded several weeks after Joni's.  M-G-M had expected Joni's original version to go straight to #1.  For the new album the first four songs and second four songs were switched to get "You're My Everything" in the outside groove of the L.P. to facilitate disc jockey play.  So, for 50 years, the story the album tells has been garbled.  In 1961 the album got new cover art, a new serial number (E3931), and an electronically simulated stereo release.  Released again on compact disk with yet more bonus tracks, the album is in its fifth decade as a best seller.  Joni James hopes for yet another release which will restore the original song order.  Significantly, for her last M-G-M album, "Bossa Nova Style", Joni included new recordings of several songs from "Let There Be Love", including a new single of "You're Nearer."  That album was arranged by Lew Douglas's protégé Chuck Sagle.  This information comes from Wayne Brasler, longtime President of the Joni James International Fan Club and the writer of the album notes for all Joni James' CD releases. Song to a Seagull (also known as Joni Mitchell) is the debut album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.  Produced by David Crosby, the album was recorded in 1967 at Sunset Sound and released in March 1968 by record label Reprise. "Let There Be Love" was an album of songs recorded by Joni James as airchecks, released by Jasmine Records on March 1, 1993.  While many of the songs included on the album were hits for Joni James in the 1950s, these are different performances.
