Andy Williams doesn't get the credit he deserves. He was one of the finest singers of his era!
It wasn't Christmas until Andy Williams sang
It's the Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. Loved his Christmas Special....back when the world seemed more "normal".....
Nothing to say but am in full agreement with everyone. Bacharach's music, Hal's words, Dionne Warwick and Karen Carpenter are sounds made in heaven.
Today is February 10th 2023, yesterday, February 9th , 2023, Burt Bachara died and and left us an incredible legacy with his wonderful! Stay with God, rest in peace! I want to leave my feelings here: I am from the generation 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2023 nowadays! Each wonderful artist like him who leaves us, it's like a little piece of us was gone too. I am very lucky to have lived this wonderful time! God bless them and us!
Today is May 9th, 2024 and I agree with you. Here Italy.
Today is May 9th, 2024 and I agree with you. Here Italy.
Do loved and love him with all my soul!
As a teenager in the 1970s, I dismissed music like this as too old fashion, now we are in 2020, after being in a band, opening my mind to various genres of music, I am now listening to this music that just shines with such class...Oh how I was wrong...Thats me being a teenager....
*fashioned
Me too..... hindsight is 20/20.
Can only agree....
not “cool” - then we realize that “cool” is mostly marketing, getting you to buy x instead of y

Burt Bacharach's music and Andy Williams' singing. A combination made in heaven.
RIP Mr Burt Bacharach. You created some of the loveliest music ever made. For those of us who were young in the 1960s and seventies, a very sad day indeed.
Sad but true. I hate the idea of losing all these quality songwriters. So much genius in our generation with the beauty it created. A hard reality to accept these losses to our world.
Amen
So so true. Just pure ageless. Thank God for talent.
So true ... another part of our childhoods gone forever.
RIP Mr B. I grew up with your music and along with Hal's words, Karen C and Dionne W can STILL literally move me to tears!
I am 64. I was brought up with this music . It takes me back to the 60’s and living at home with my parents in England. Sadly my mum has pass away. My Dad is 94 and still going strong!!!!
It's exactly what the world needs right now!!!!
Burt had more talent than any composer- with the ability to make us feel every emotion from joy, lightness of spirit and love. I miss him already
Simply true to life
Hal David’s lyrics to the music is amazing.
More talent than any composer.. ? Sorry, no. It seems pop music. Well done and I love it. But not complex, and not Bach or Chopin... no.
Uz
Hal David, his lyricist, should be honored as one of the 20th century’s greats also.
When music was beautifully written & performed without all the distracting stage effects to get attention..
Burt thankyou for all your awesome music. My favorite... needs to played NOW in 2023. "What the World Needs NOW is LOVE"
💖 🙏 💖
Amen. 🙏💞
RIP Burt Bacharach
yes ❤
gracias
Yes, thank got no silly Fosse style dancers.
Andy Williams had the unassuming voice of an angel. He never forced it. Bacharach defined composing American pop for two decades. What a treat.
Could not be said any better!!!
Agreed
Love both. And i am enchanted every time i listen to Andy Williams singing his songs. ❤️😘
Laurence Barton. You are so right. He never forced his voice……… it was like water off a ducks back …. so easy and beautiful….❤️
mmhmm
1968 my dad was in Vietnam and my mom would watch the Andy Williams show faithfully...looking back this show comforted her....🙏
Excelente!!
My father was a Vietnam vet too. I was a young boy in 1966 when we brought my father to the airport on a flight to Saigon with his fellow Special Forces mates. When we got home my teary eyed mother played “A Summer Place” sung by Andy Williams. I still remember staring out the window listening to this melancholic song and missing my father. I still have the record album.

Bless you all
This is the time when performers respect there audience more, than the music today.
I once met Andy in Manchester UK at his birthday party charity event with my late mother. It was at millionaires night club. I also saw his show at Halifax Civic Theatre UK which was wonderful.
43 years on and I still love his performances.
RIP Andy
В СССР его тоже любили!
Rest in peace Mr. Bacharach. Your music will be played and remembered for all eternity...
I agree!
Absolutely!
I was born in 1969 and I am the youngest in the family. I have 4 elder siblings. The generation rap is wide. My eldest brother was 20 when I was just 1.. In my house, the family enjoy a wide range of musical genre. I'm now turning 50. I miss the music of 60s 70s and 80s. It's pure music and not garbage like we have today
Good old days! wonderful singers, great composers, excellent lyrics and sounds,... I miss that magnificent time.Thanks for posting
This mix was so sweet. Tunes of my school years 60's-early 70's. Some peacefulness in a very abusive family life. Haven't listened to Mr. Williams for nearly 50 yes... one good thing about having a cell phone!
Andy Williams was under appreciated . He had an amazing voice and feel for a song
Are you kidding? He had a tv show for years.Should I say more!
I definitely strongly disagree with you. Andy Williams was and is never under appreciated in the history of music
He was never underappreciated!! He was huge for a long time , and as others stated , he had a long running TV show...NEVER underappreciated
I was a big fan of his TV show..he, or his writers, had a singularly odd humor.
My favorite Christmas album ever is an Andy Williams record. I remember his show as well, my parents used to watch when I was growing up. There were so many good variety shows back then. Now it's all "reality" junk that I could care a less about!
Oh my heart!!!! So many memories of Andy Williams voice and Burt Bacharach a genius composer!!!
Hello Cynthia, How are you doing?
What a VOICE, the very best ever, in all genres
Cynthia, my memories too! Many thanks!
I’m 43 and love this music I prefer older music like this Burt Bacharachs writing is amazing his songs are just amazing and Andy Williams is brilliant songs with meaning
When music was music with live bands and orchestras. Thank you Andy and Burt for very fond musical memories of the '60s and '70s.
Always been one of my favorite composers and songwriters. I didn't realize until this video how handsome Burt was. What a gift to humanity. Ooh la la!
Pure class. No one has the style today that these guys had. So effortless.
Thank you. I remember my parents having dinner parties in the 60’s. Women in dresses and men in jackets. Class!
Bacharach is such an amazing song writer. He had such a huge impact on the music of the 1960s
I was born in 84... But i really feel his loss today. What magical music. If i had a time machine.... 1965+ENTER
@@navdurrani3259 Me too I was born in the mid 60's his music is my life LEGEND GENIUS AMAZING RIP Burt loved him and his music so very much ❤️🙏❤️RIP Burt 😎
And ever since then...
@@margaret513 czcams.com/video/d3RlIjj8l-Q/video.html
Because he broke the rules in songwriting. He was an innovator. He was told that his style would not work. Very courageous. He proved them wrong His phrasing key changes modulations Time changes in songs were brilliant and of course his mixtures of music were fresh and emotionally rewarding
Rest in peace Burt Bacharach. You've made so many musical gems - enabling so many stars to be born.

There hasn't been a smooth voice like Andy Williams since the 60's. Love his voice!!
Burt Bacharach music is timeless. I grew up listening to it. Just Superb!!
Thomas Davison. He was the best of that genre of music. I and my siblings grew up with him, particularly at Christmas time. His voice was so beautiful and effortless. Thank you, Andy❤️
I even have several of Andy Williams vinyl record albums. I love his voice and his style!
@@JC-tp5lz So do I.
My mum's favourite , the Andy Williams show in the late 60s n 70s 🙂. God bless her , R.I.P. mum 🧡
@@davidtomlinson6138 It was mine also.
Full orchestra, great voice in a tuxedo, all with talent and class. The good lo' days.
Espectacular, siempre Bacharach.
Well said...
,,
We lost one of the greats today. RIP Burt Bacharach.
I’m 56 in 2020 but still wish I was 20 or so in the sixties, it was the time I think of , I was born in 64 but feel this was my time !!
1968, I was 13 years old. Our family use to watch the "Andy Williams Show" every week. Miss those day, plus I miss Mom and Dad.
I was 8. I got to see the best of the 60's 70's and 80's
Very sad to acknowledge that nobody can create quality music like this anymore....
Nobody wants too.
Yeah, but no one can speak for the future, and who/what may emerge.
I guess once you've reached the top of the hill, you can't go any higher. And they can't come close to that hill of an Andy Williams and Burt Bacharach today. The music died with these types of singers and writers. :)
I say there is talent, but today's audience doesn't go for that and, that's a shame.
@@carlosriverajr5680 Because the young people of today stink and they are ruining everything that was great proper and correct and that,s a fact Period !!!!!
Today, all men and woman would be jealous of this mans vocal range. What an American original talent this man was.
And He handsome too 😉
FoxyMyu
Very...
Loved Andy's voice, so effortless.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
No, just happy to nail the pitch myself.
The unbelievable talent of these two icons. Never to be repeated. I saw Andy Williams at the Albert Hall in 2005. He was brilliant. Makes me sad that he’s gone
and now joined by Burt.
I watched Andys Christmas Show again recently, such a voice...so glad I was a teenager in the Seventies!
Rest in Melodic Peace Burt Bacharach … what gifts you gave us … what a gift you were.
More talent between those two than the entire music industry today.
You are delusional - not "in tune" - or hiding under a blanky.
You need crawl out from under your rock.
Kell kopp
oh yeah.
flemingcourt p
I just saw Burt Bacharach give a concert in Beverly Hills just two months ago, accompanying various soloists at the piano. He's 92 or so and going strong.
I saw him live last year in Berlin and it was wonderful
Burt is my alll favorite composer. God bless him.
When I listened to the music that Burt Bacharach created and hear Andy Williams sing it, it brings back memories. I was born in 1955 and I always loved listening to the music by Burt Bacharach! I also remember Angie Dickinson and I thought she was a great actress. You can't find music like this anymore!!!!! Thank you so much for creating it Burt Bacharach!!!!!!
Same generation, DOB 12/23/1955...here in 2023, what the world still needs, is love, sweet love...what a soulful lyricist Bacharach really was!!
I was born in 58 remember this wonderful music!
I hail from 1956 - every time one of our great artists leaves us, I feel like a bit of myself has been lost. There was so much raw talent back then- sadly, not much today 😢
these 2 icons will always be remembered for their music and singing❤️❤️❤️Stupidity and shameful for The Kennedy Honors not acknowledging Burt Bacharach all these yrs for his contribution to the art of music . RIP Andy n Burt ! 👏🏻
I couldn’t agree with you more, been saying that for the last 10 years, even wrote the Kennedy center several times encouraging them to honor his genius. I understand their branching out to honor genres never considered prior, but Amy Grant, Gloria Estefan and others still had time to be honored. Not honoring him was their most blatant oversight ever!
When younger generations talk about music of the sixties inevitably they become enamored with the Beatles, the Stones, Dylan and all of the rock and folk acts associated with that era. THIS is the music of that period! The sophisticated songs of composers like Bacharach performed by great singers like Andy Williams! This is music- not social commentary, protest or fads.
Bacharach is a genius, no question, but you can't deny the greatness of the Beatles and Dylan--they are not fads! (I'm not a Stones person, though.)
rockintetster
you are so right....
gnshapiro I would argue the the Beatles WERE a fad- they didn’t last that long! However, their legacy certainly has! And of course, they were great! They redefined popular music in the sense they were both the songwriters as well as the performers. Yet musically Bacharach was infinitely more sophisticated. Dylan, on the other hand is simply not a musician, he is a poet. His LYRICS may define the protest attitude of the sixties but his music is not remarkable.
@@rockintetster Hi. "Infinitely more sophisticated"? Infinity is a pretty big number, so I'm gonna need some indication of how you're measuring this, apart from your personal tastes. I really enjoy both artists (Beatles and Bacharach) very much; I'm not anti-Bacharach at all, but there's just no basis, in my view, for seeing him in such transcendent terms. They are both forms of pop music--with different styles to be sure--but both extremely creative, original, and beautiful.
@@rockintetster As for Dylan, I'm less familiar with all his work, so I'll stick primarily to defending the Beatles. But there's no question to me that he's a groundbreaking and powerful artist.
no effort on andy willams part for singing...the freakin best voice in history...such class loved all people...black white yellow...didnt matter ...the most classy man in show biz period...lvoe you andy
O
Very true. And a wonderfull person as is the georegeis dionne. W and burt wow wow wow. Andy is an exact oppossitee of bing crosby. Voice not even close. And an extremmly. Tough on his kids. Farther. A fuckin bully. Adulterer. Just like bob hope. I choose andy. And my other favorite singer paul ANKA. Kodak commercialls. Do yo remember the times of your life. Andy. Born free. Etc. Nightfencer gatekeeper. Braintree mass. FREDRICK NOBLE. NIGHTFENCER.
Burt Bacharach is such a big part of the reason that I still play keyboards. Andy Williams voice is pure and unique. Love them both.
Thank you, BURT BACHARACH for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. Your music was the soundtrack of my once young life and still. Your legacy is sealed.
No one has a more pure tenor voice then Andy. When he popped into his upper register he could literally reach the sky with ease!
Agreed, no one will ever sound like him. Just happy to have experienced him. ♥️
Just pure indulgence. ♥️♥️♥️
Dycjt
It is like a Dream!😍😪
❤
Andy has a voice like butter.. and THIS is real music. R.I.P. Andy.. I grew up listening to some of the greatest music ever.. and some was yours
Burt and Hal were geniuses!! I love Andy Williams' voice too. Missing you Burt...already xxx
God bless these two absolutely AMAZING talents. Two Americans of pure Excellence !
Two giants of the most beautiful music from the sixties... Mr. Bacharah and Mr. Williams.. Simple the very best of an era... Glad to be born in 1961..! What a great and pleasant memories from those years!
Me too, great year, 1961!
Sexy dudes. Both of them! Whew!
And 1957 too. Greetings from the Philippines! (April 8, 2019)
Totally agree with you!
I'm from 61 too... and, fortunately, have grown up listening to compositions as wonderful as these.
By the way: I'm Brazilian, so I've also listened to Tom Jobim and some great Bossa Nova (New Wave) of our native composers.
And my mother have always been Mr. Sinatra's great fan; who I've learned to appreciate too, as well as Ms. Vaughan, Ms. Fitzgerald, and so on...
Goooood times!
November 1961 here! What a beautiful time to grow up in!☘️
So glad to find this. Class is permanent!
What the world need now is Love Sweet Love. (1968) its 2022-2023 soon. The song should be played loud by people who care.
Who listen with great pleasure till now, August 2021? What a classy way, isn't it?
Absolute class. Phenominal talent in the composer and the singer. Two of the greatest. What a performance, that couldn't be matched these days. The vocal range of Andy was outstanding and he had one of the smoothest clearest voices we shall ever hear.
Phenomenal
I agree, I love the smooth clarity of Andy's voice and he seemed like a good guy too. I enjoyed his films too. 🤍🤍🤍
One of the greatest 20th Century legends. RIP
Burt Bacharach gets a spot on the Mount Rushmore of music! Defining music of a generation and generations to come!
RIP Burt Bacharach! You were a big part of my growing up years in the 70s. My mom used to sing your songs to me all day! ❤️❤️❤️
Same with my mum 🙂
Wow. I’m listening to this in 2019. That voice is phenomenal.
Chris Jay Tabarejo I saw him in Cardiff in 2002 ish. I’ve always said it the best concert I’ve ever seen.
I was born incidentally in ‘68 the time of this show. He was class.
Agreed
You all missed a great era of music. It was a great time in the musical world. Great songs and fabulous voices.
Watch the young ladies staring at Andy during the song. Back then it was about quality and talent. You can see it in their faces. Today it’s about pure stupidity and wanting to worship the moronic low brow lifestyle that benefits no one but the performer.
People like Andy Williams will be remembered long after 99% of today’s so called talent is long gone.
Got to work with Mr Williams,a class act.Watch the microphone position.It stays in pretty much the same spot no matter if he’s singing low and soft or high and loud.Total control over his voice where most singers today don’t have that control and must move the mic around to compensate.RIP Mr.Williams.
This is Music! No overdubs, live playing! Everyone here is a truly Great musician!!
And that’s a statement!👍🏼
I needed this today, like finding gold at a junkyard.
Andy Williams is an icon. That voice, and those eyes!!
Hello Suzanne, How are you doing?
Pure class. Nothing close anymore.
PURE CLASS is the perfect description for Andy Williams and Burt Bacharach!!!
No doubt bro..........(that was a saying back in the day).
Agree
walt kuss class
@@waltkuss369 jkkkkkkk
A very under appreciated singer!
I’m Brazilian and grew up listening to special and talented American composers such as Buch Bacharach thanks to my father who had an eclectic taste for good music, and taught me and my siblings to appreciate it. Burt Bacharach was one of my favorites.
Two of the best musicians of all time and I never get tired of listening to both of them Burt Bacharach and Andy Williams. Mr. Bacharach is very passionate about all his compositions, it shows with his overall personality and yet very humble to share to all his listeners like me. I simply love their music and singing style!
What a phenomenal instrument this man's voice was. Combine that with the genius of Burt Bacharach and the killer arrangement backup singers and studio musicians .No need for any fools with thier pants falling off and hats on backwards.
Look and listen to this…two musical geniuses with movie star looks! Don’t you miss those days? Will we ever have these again? RIP to Burt and Andy and thank you for the music ❤️
Both Absolutely Wonderful !!! ❤️ Thank God for having them un those beautiful,years, both were amazing 😢😢😢 😅😅😅🎉🎉
Two extremely talented musicians. Missed greatly ❤
I’m so sorry to say those days are gone for good 😢
RIP to Mr Burt Bacharach and Andy Williams they’re singing now in heaven.
Two powerhouses of music, now both gone. I'm just learning that the great 1980s hit "Always Something There to Remind Me" was also a Bacharach/David superhit. RIP Mr. Bacharach, and thank you sir for all the wonderful music!!
I was born 9 days before this aired - I have always loved Burt!
Stopping in to hear Andy in 2020. Really brings me back. Burt and Andy are remarkable talents.
Hello Nurse55. How are you doing?
This was pop music in my time...and darn proud of it
I Agree
Andy was 👍👍 all the way through his long singing career. Also Tony Bennett❣🎶🥰🎶😍🎶💗👍
Andy was so natural,so great to watch and what a voice.
Always something there to remind me? I thought that song was a new wave hit?😲😎☺
Wachikining Bumbay the new wave one is a cover. It’s a song by Burt Bacharach.
Burt Bacharach wrote some of the most phenomenal music ever..and he was married to Angie Dickinson in her prime..how can one man be so fortunate in one lifetime????
One of my favorite crooner
Andy Williams with one of the greatest song writers of the 60's and 70's Burt Bararach
The best song writer and best singer we will never see talent like this again
Pure perfection from both parties. Andy’s voice is timeless and he makes it all look so easy. R.I.P.
Burt playing and Andy singing that song, what the world needs now, is LOVE sweet LOVE. If only the world could see that love is not a fuzzy feeling, but love instead is each person wanting the greatest good for our fellow man! Love thy neighbor as thyself! Do good to everyone! And then that song bursts out from every direction, and the love of God is perfected in all our lives!
Andy and Burt, a couple of treasures we'll never quite ever see or hear again. Both generous and natural talents. Felt very sad for Andy and the Longet part of his life, it was indeed heartbreaking. RIP Andy/Burt and thanks for all the beautiful memories!
Both gone now...we have a lot less talent...heaven is richer now
Seeing the audience in this clip I couldn't help wondering what it must have been like to be there.....
A time when romance and music were hand in hand.
That’s the GREAT AMERICAN SPIRIT I remember when I was little! This is what we need again….class, education, discipline, pride
Watched this while in 8th grade. Grew up in the best music era ever! RIP Burt and thank you!!
This is just dripping with talent, music, professionalism, and groove! My God, this is SOOO good!
Ditto
Mr Bacharach is an incredibly powerful man in terms of talent & humbleness without question-
I'ts simply amazing how many hits this icon has written!
Killer medley!!!
Andy Williams....thumbs up!
I got snot rolling and tears flowing unexpectedly after hearing Burt's passing. R.I.P.
If Burt and Bing had included Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head in the medley at the end, I would have blithering idiot. 😭
"What the world needs now is love sweet love"
...or someone to take out Putin. That's a start.
Burt would approve. Bing too.
Well it wouldn't be possible cause the song hadn't been written by that point. But I agree it would have been beautiful!
Burt Bacharach, a superb legendary songwriter. Andy Williams, Jesus! A legend!
I used to think Andy Williams looked like my dad. True class act....not like the crap we have now.
Yup! My hubby to be also has a great similarity they almost look alike (loka-like) and a great singer too. Thanks
I was asking something... Needs confirmation... Reply asap pls. Orelse!!! I will LOVE YOU MORE😀😢
Lynne museo,your dad is sure handsome
Back in those days performers had so much stylish class. Handsome dudes, beautiful women. The days of our country's great music, I think. Even the Beatles wore those great tailor-cut suits.
Two of the worlds greatest talents
Andy had it all. Looks, talent, singing and personality ❤️
I love the cute girl sitting on the floor watching Andy thinking "I'm in Love". He kind of looks at her. I'd die. That velvet voice and so Handsome! Watching in 2020
Burt. Man oh man. A giant. Love his music. And Andy? A master
Totally agree tony
Meant Jim
Monsters of the music. I am so glad someone post this super performance. Thank you!
God, I miss the 1960s, and I was born in 1971. Such a good time, music, fashion, so many things were better.
Andy Williams - one of the greatest voices of all time.
I still play his Christmas album each year. He hits a note in one of the songs that is incredible. It used to take me months of practice and voice exercise to hit it. For those who have listened to Andy a great deal, you know the note I'm talking about.
So do I every Christmas 🎄
wannabe to wasabe. We grew up with Andy Williams in our home. Christmas was exceptional with my dad in particular playing his albums, continually over Christmas. I think we had 3 albums. I had so many favourites. Little Altar Boy, Some Children See Him, Sweet Little Jesus Boy, It’s The Holiday Season, Long Time Ago In Bethlehem, …….. Oh Holy Night. I don’t know what the highest note he hit is but O Holy Night comes to mind as Mr Williams sings the last- Oh Night Divine! The memories l have are too good to put in to words…..❤️
@@wendycrawford1792 You describe the note I'm talking about. He hits it with such great quality and control, with no hint of straining. Because of that I think he has one of the best singing voices of all time. Most singers don't even attempt to hit the note at all.
