When I'm Thinking of You is an album by American singer Tommy Sands. It was arranged by Nelson Riddle and released in 1959.[1]

In his biography of Riddle, September in the Rain, Peter J. Levinson wrote that Riddle's arrangements for Sands were "as original and as stimulating as he wrote for any singer, and obviously Sands was musically comfortable with him". Sands subsequently described Riddle as the "best arranger I ever worked with".[2]

Reception

The initial Billboard magazine review from September 28, 1959 commented that "Sands has a strong package to follow his This Thing Called Love...It's a good jockey programming item with one side devoted to sweet love songs and the other to sadder tunes. ...Backing by Nelson Riddle is excellent".[3]
