From one of the last Living Strings albums released before RCA discontinued their Living Series in 1981. The RCA Music Service record label surely means it was only available through mail order. The last gasp of traditional instrumental Easy Listening music, before it got replaced by New Age and Smooth Jazz.")

I found the obituary for the father of the group, which says the Marcus Family Singers were formed in 1974 and were active for seven years, and recorded two albums: https://www.petersonbrothers.com/obituaries/calvin-marcus
Also I looked up the songs on the album in the copyright database and several of them were written in 1980, so the album is probably from 1980 or 1981.")
