As a kid, I used to watch his Christmas specials every year. One of my favorite Christmas songs he sang was "It's the most wonderful time of the year." A mellow voice, a great set of pipes.
RIP ANDY WILLIAMS

One of the last of the old-time "crooners", in the style of Perry Como, etc.
"Moon River" sucks (sorry), but Christmas ain't Christmas without this song or this song.
Also like his version of the Hawaiian Wedding Song, but like Elvis Presley's version better.

Andy Williams was born and raised in Cincinnati Ohio in a subdivision called Western Hills. He was chosen to sing some of the most famous movie scores ever. His most famous, The Godfather. Andy was 84
R.I.P. Mr Williams. Thanks for the entertainment.
my folks were huge fans, we watched his show every week, never failed. he waas actually a funny guy and he and Perry Como were the only 'crooners' I could stand, even tho I was surrounded in my house by all of that music, and classical, lol. I came home from school one day and my mom was ironing in the living room in front of American Bandstand and he was on it. We had not even heard of the Beatles yet. :)
My grandmother loved him. I tried to make it to his X-mad show he did in Palm Springs every year but we couldn't.
Thanks for the music.
