Introduction '''''Fallin' in Love''''' is the third studio album by the band Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds and their first for Playboy Records with whom the band had signed in 1974 about a year after parting ways with their inaugural label Dunhill Records. The band's vocalist and guitarist, Dan Hamilton, wrote the majority of the material for this album (some of which he co-wrote with his wife, Ann). Drummer Alan Dennison also contributed his songwriting abilities for this album with "Barroom Blues" and "Love Is" (the latter of which he co-wrote with the Hamiltons). The only cover on this album is Ellas McDaniel's composition of "Who Do You Love. "Released pursuant to the success of the title track - the sole #1 Pop hit for the band and also the only Playboy Records release to reach the Top 20 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 - the ''Fallin' in Love'' album would yield two further single releases: "Winners and Losers" (#21) and "Everyday Without You" #62.Both this album and their next Playboy album ''Love & Conversation'' were released together in October 2005 as ''The Playboy Years''.
