We Can Fly! Up-Up and Away is an album with vocal music for easy listening, released by Liberty Records in 1967. Wikipedia writes about Johnny Mann (1928–2014):

As bandleader with The Johnny Mann Singers, he and the group […] hosted the TV series titled Stand Up and Cheer (1971–1974), was the musical director for the 1967–69 ABC-TV late night talk show, The Joey Bishop Show, and performed at the White House twice. He was also musical director of The Alvin Show and was the singing voice of Theodore. Mann was also choral director for The NBC Comedy Hour.

Art direction by Woody Woodward, using a phototype revival of Joseph W. Phinney’s Binner (1899), with caps from Paul Renner’s Futura Light for the song names.
