Portrait is the first studio album released in 1971 by Filipino singer-actress Nora Aunor through Alpha Records Corporation in the Philippines in LP format[1] and later released in 1999 in a compilation/ CD format.[2][3] The album contains some original Filipino compositions by Robert Medina, George Canseco, and Danny Subido. The album had a total of 12 tracks, many of which are identified with Nora Aunor despite them being covers like Dio Como Ti Amo (originally in Italian by Domenico Modugno of "Volare" fame), True Picture (a Jack Jones original), Three Good Reasons (originally by Connie Francis) and Theme for a New Love (by Monkees member Davy Jones). Davy Jones later starred with Nora Aunor in Lollipops and Roses, a movie shot in the US that had Don Johnson in a featured role. Among the locally composed hits on the album was "Waiting For You" by George Canseco.
