One of THE great voices...
Andy is of course predominately a standards/cover artist. But that's ok as he can make any song his own. And whilst some of the arrangements are fairly routine fair, his voice never is. It reaches into to you and grabs you into the words and meanings of the songs. And he means what he sings! You can feel the passion...

He doesn't get the credit he deserves as a vocalist, which is unfair as he is as fine a crooner as many other more revered. But it has been nice to see his popularity increasing in the last few years in the UK. At least now so many more younger people know of him.

Some of the songs he has had success with recently are the more cheesy ones on this album, but as Dr Fox said once on his chart show: "It's cheese, but it's good cheese!"

Great selection mostly of covers
Although some of Andy's own hits are here (Can't take my eyes off you, Can't get used to losing you, Where do I begin, Solitaire, Can't help falling in love, Butterfly, Music to watch girls by, May each day), this collection is mostly made up of his distinctive covers of other people's hits. Big UK hits conspicuous by their absence include Almost there and Home loving man - however, these and Andy's other hits are easy to find on other compilations, notably the double CD Very best of. Andy's interpretations of some popular music classics will give enormous pleasure to his legions of fans.

So here you get Andy's versions of Something stupid (Nancy and Frank Sinatra), Seasons in the sun (Terry Jacks), Strangers in the night (Frank Sinatra), Fire and rain, You've got a friend (both James Taylor), We've only just begun (Carpenters), The way we were (Barbra Streisand), The look of love (Dusty Springfield), You are the sunshine of my life (Stevie Wonder), Touch me in the morning (Diana Ross), Without you (a number one UK hit for Nilsson in the seventies and Mariah Carey in the nineties), Unchained melody (a huge hit for several artists through the years but especially the Righteous brothers), Hawaiian wedding song (a minor hit for Julie Rogers, whose big hit was The wedding), I won't last a day without you (Carpenters) and Killing me softly (Roberta Flack).,

So relax and enjoy an easy-listening collection of classic songs from the sixties and seventies, delivered as only Andy can.

If Andy Williams Albums are all great, then this is the BEST
These are ones of the best Love songs performed by Andy Williams on one CD. I liked all the songs. You can listen to them on and on again without getting bored. It's the combination of the music with Andy William's voice and easy performing plus the sequence of the songs. This album is a must buy and a great addition to your Love songs Library.
