October 1966 – Capitol released the first Sandler & Young Album, Side by Side. Track 11 on that album, “Dominique,” was released as a single and played everywhere. It reached #18 on Billboard’s Top 40 Easy Listening chart in January 1967. In this recording, Tony sings “Dominique” in French as Ralph sings spirituals in English, with the songs arranged in quodlibet, a style used frequently in Sandler & Young music. Side by Side album sales soared.
