A Little Bit in Love (Julie Andrews album)

A Little Bit in Love is a compilation album released in September 1970 by English actress and singer Julie Andrews, under Columbia Records' budget label Harmony. The album compiles recordings made by Andrews for Columbia Records in the early 1960s. The album predominantly features songs from Broadway musicals, although not specifically from productions in which Julie Andrews performed. It reflects her early association with the Broadway stage, where she first gained fame. The songs were occasionally accompanied by a barbershop quartet.

The compilation assembles a discerning selection of performances drawn from two prior studio albums: Broadway's Fair Julie and Don't Go in the Lion's Cage Tonight and Other Heartrending Ballads and Raucous Ditties. The tracks "A Little Bit in Love", "I Feel Pretty", "How Can I Wait", "If Love Were All", "This Is New", and "Looking for a Boy" first appeared on Broadway's Fair Julie (1962), and serve to illustrate Andrews's enduring engagement with the Broadway musical canon. In parallel, the selections "Burlington Bertie from Bow", "Waiting at the Church (My Wife Won't Let Me)", and "By the Light of the Silvery Moon", originating from Don't Go in the Lion's Cage Tonight and Other Heartrending Ballads and Raucous Ditties (1962), reflect a turn towards traditional British music hall and vaudeville traditions, thereby highlighting the artist's versatility across diverse musical genres and cultural repertoires.
