    He was great with the Boomers parents. When Andy Williams was young, we only had 3 channels on our black & white TV’s, so the whole families would watch him sing. He was one of the greatest singers in those days along with Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bing Crosby. 💜💜

      Aw, you are so right because my late Hubby was a Boomer and he said his Mom adored Andy! I'm 57, and he was also a HUGE fave of my parents growing up, as was Tony Bennet, Sinatra, Sammy Davis, etc. I remember as a little girl being so smitten with Andy, he had such beautiful eyes and that voice!!! He just gives me chills and goosebumps each and every time! I can't wait til u guys get to the Christmas songs, he sings them so beautifully!!! Blessings to Jay and Amber and their family, as well as the Rob Squad Fam for a Merry Christmas! 🙏🏽💞🎄

    This video clip was from "The Andy Williams Show" which was a weekly variety show. FYI... Andy Williams was the one who introduced the Osmond Brothers to the American TV audience. At first it was just the 4 older brothers... Donny was still too young... but later Donny and then Marie joined in appearances on the show. Andy always had a Christmas Special show where he brought his family on to sing with him and other guests like the Osmonds ... Andy's older 3 brothers were a family singing group just like the Osmonds when they were younger, but Andy turned his talent into a solo singing career. The Osmonds always made an appearance to either do a solo or duet with Andy once they got popular. There are a few videos on YT that show them performing together.

    • @NeetkaAbru
      @NeetkaAbru Před 6 měsíci +1

      I remember when the Osmond brothers were on, little Donny (or maybe it was Jay when he was the youngest one) would always know where the camera was and he would look directly into the lens. The cameramen would switch cameras and then focus on Donny, and sure enough it would only take a few seconds for his head to turn and find the new camera. I loved that christmas show, watching his kids grow up and seeing the 4 Williams brothers sing together was a family tradition.

    This song from the movie, The Sandpiper (Liz Taylor and Richard Burton), won a Grammy for Best Song of the Year and an Oscar. It was everywhere and every crooner sang it, including Tony Bennett who released it as a single. Barbra Streisand also sang it and there was also a popular instrumental version. If you are listening to Christmas songs on the radio, chances are you are hearing a lot of Andy Williams, but Moon River is his most famous song (from Breakfast at Tiffany's) and his weekly TV show opened with a few bars from it.

    In 1973, Andy Williams recorded a song called "I'll Never Be The Same". It was written by June Millington of the 1970's all-female band Fanny.

    Love Andy Williams! So many songs all perfect . And a note- his father found the original Osmond brothers- the appeared on Andy’s tv show. And Donny and Marie were introduced on show. All kind of clips on you tube !

    Always great listening! I really think you'd love Gene Pitney. He has a different sound, but WOW the woefullness that he can put into a song. I recommend A Town Without Pity, 24 Hours from Tulsa, Only Love Can Break A Heart and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Do yourselves a favor and give him a listen! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    My favorite of his for Christmas will always be “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”!!! His Christmas albums are always on my Christmas playlist, along with The Carpenter’s “Christmas Portrait”. The other of my favorites is Steve Perry’s Christmas album released in 2018 “The Season”. He was 69 when it was released.
    Andy Williams’ former wife, Claudine Longet, had a beautiful but soft voice. My favorites of hers are “The Look of Love” and “Love is Blue”. Both beautiful tunes.
    Andy Williams ended his shows with his family gathered around him. He wasn’t a member of the Rat Pack, he wasn’t a “bad guy” like Sinata.

    Love Andy Williams. You should check out his song, Where Do I Begin from the movie Love Story. As for original Christmas performances, check out Charles Brown - Merry Christmas Baby and Please Come Home for Christmas: James Brown - Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto; Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime; Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree; Darlene Love (from the Phil Spector Xmas album) - Marshmallow World, and since you've played Darlene's Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), U2 has a version of that. And for something different, The Pogues - Fairytale of New York

    You'd asked one time about female crooners, and I think Etta James might apply, but I could not find that you have reacted to probably her greatest and most popular song, "At Last!" You wanna talk about a LOVE. SONG. We had that played after our wedding and I was cheesing so hard my face hurt!
    A more modern crooner you might enjoy is Harry Connick Jr. "A Wink and A Smile" is one by him that I love a lot.

    Tony Bennett did a version also. This is lovely. Watched all his holiday specials as there was just that one TV in the house at that time. A very warm memory just generated right now. Sigh. 80s Hair Bands? Well, you just made somebody smile, Jay! Thanks! Here's a crooner, believe it or not, for this song anyway. Ringo singing "Good Night" from the Beatles' White album. Thanks again.

    being born in 1955 and the youngest of 4 girls, I was lucky to have grown up on these songs as well as the 50's, 60's and 70's rock. The crooners are wonderful to hear and remind me of my parents!

    As others have mentioned, it was Andy that introduced The Osmond's to the world. Andy had his own show back in the late 60s & 70s, and every Christmas he did a holiday special and have The Osmond's on. At first Donny was too young to go on, so it was just the older 4 brothers that did the shows. As soon as he was old enough he was doing the shows, and even then he was only about 4/5 years old! They looked adorable in their little barber quartet suits.
    More great songs by Andy are.... "Can't Get Used To Losing You" "Born Free" & "My Eyes Adored You"

    Don't forget that in addition to his incredible vocals, he introduced The Osmonds to the rest of the country. And that was a few years before the Jackson 5.

    My mother’s favorite singer! My mom is forefront in my memory this time of year because she baked amazing cookies; so every year since she passed, I bake cookies from her recipes. She would listen to Andy Williams and Perry Como music and bake!! Andy Williams always seems so serious; for a completely different side, you should check out a young Ray Stevens doing the song”Along Came Jones”, accompanied but Andy Williams and Danny Thomas on Andy’s tv show; it’s a hoot!!❤❤❤❤❤

    Andy Williams sang the Christmas classic "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year". One of my favorite commercials was the Staples back-to-school ad with the sad kids and the ecstatic Dad shopping for school supplies with this song as the theme.
    This song is the theme song from a movie called The Sandpiper that starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. There was a lot of latin influence in pop music in the 60s, especially Bossa Nova.

    It is a beautiful tune, the winner of the Oscar for Best Original Song as well as a Grammy for Song of the Year and Andy's version was the most successful but it has been covered by dozens of artists including several that are strictly instrumental. One of the best is by a young Barbra Streisand on her early album My Name is Barbra, Two.
