Please Let Me Love You

Please Let Me Love You from Merrill 1, Alan's first solo LP, released in Japan in 1971. The album did very well there, even though all the songs were in the English language. This was a very unusual thing in Japan at the time.

Alan Merrill was the first successful foreigner in Japan's domestic rock market in the country's history, having hit records in the Japanese language, touring, modeling, and hosting TV shows in the late 1960s and early 70s. He was a pioneer, performing and touring with the top Japanese bands of the day, The Tigers, Tempters, The Spiders, and Golden Cups, the only foreigner in the "Group Sounds" scene.
