''You've Got a Friend'' is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in August 1971 by Columbia Records. It made its first appearance on ''Billboard'' magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated August 28, 1971, and remained there for 12 weeks, peaking at number 54.〔.〕 For its release in the UK, the album was entitled ''A Song for You''. The single from the album, "A Song for You", entered the Hot 100 in the US in the issue of ''Billboard'' dated August 21, 1971, and stayed on the chart for four weeks, eventually peaking at number 82.〔.〕 The song entered the magazine's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs of the week in the following issue, on August 28, for its first of five weeks, during which time it reached number 29.〔.〕 The album bears a striking coincidental resemblance to the Johnny Mathis album ''You've Got a Friend'', released two weeks earlier. Besides sharing their name, the two albums are both collections of covers of easy listening hits of the time, with 11 songs each, and the two albums have six songs in common, including the title track, in a similar order. ''You've Got a Friend'' was released on compact disc for the first time as one of two albums on one CD by Collectables Records on February 5, 2002, the other album being Williams's Columbia release from the fall of 1970, ''The Andy Williams Show''. Collectables included this CD in a box set entitled ''Classic Album Collection, Vol. 2'', which contains 15 of his studio albums and two compilations and was released on November 29, 2002. ==Track listing== # "You've Got a Friend" (Carole King) – 4:44 # "Help Me Make It Through the Night" (Kris Kristofferson) – 2:36 # "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?"
