Background edit
1970 was one of Nora Aunor's busiest years — she starred in eighteen films and Manny de Leon appeared with her in ten of these. Their first film together was 1969's Nora (Single Girl), with the viewing public accepting them as a love team and making their movies into blockbusters. Alpha Records took advantage of their singing talents and decided to issue a collaboration album featuring them performing a series of songs about love and romance.[3]
