It's Time for Regis! was Regis Philbin's first album, released in 1968, and foreshadowed the dominance he would have in the media as a triple threat entertainer. Fuelled by his success on the radio and his penchant for creating ditties and melodies while live on air, Regis cleverly marketed himself as a singer.
His album, It's time for Regis, was recorded in one take which was, and has since been, unprecedented. The album went on to become the highest grossing album of a new recording artist in the year and has been cited as an influence to several musicians of the time including greats such as Frank Sinatra, Liberace, and The Rolling Stones.
The album consistently rates in top 100 lists in music publications since its debut and is widely held to be a classic, capturing the feel of a people and spirit of a time.
