  1. Fur, Andy Williams was my favorite singer. Not very popular among my high school friends in the ’70s, but what did they know.

    “May each day of the week be a good day. May the Lord always watch over you. Goodnight everybody.” ~sign off of the Andy Williams show.

  2. no auto tune, no digital tracking,

    tell todays “artis”, go out there and do it live and do it with a guest and it would be an epic fail.

    or put it this way, 3 men and a guitar all with talent are more riveting than a platoon of half naked women twerking as some lametard lipsyncs to an attuned sound track.
    I cant stand ‘modern music’.

  3. In mid-80s when I was a totally cool, hip young gal, the Corporation I worked for would hire professional talent for our Christmas party. For my first party I heard Andy Williams was the entertainment. I’m like, What? Like Who’s That? Like Andy Griffin? Totally give me a break. Well I may have been an ignorant twit but I wasn’t stupid and it did not take long into his performance for me to fall in love! He was fun, energetic and of course a supremely gifted singer! What a fantastic evening!

  4. Andy Williams is my favorite male singer. I watched his show religiously. So glad the bear got a cookie on the last show.

    His voice is like honey mixed with soft clouds. Sigh.

  5. @ AbigailAdams and Claudia,

    I to loved Andy Williams, I was also in HS in the ’70s and not cool to like Andy. My all time favorite song in the whole world is him singing Moon River.

    When he died a few years back, it was like he took a part of Christmas with him. How we all looked forward to his Christmas shows, and Bing, Bob Hope with the troops. Times like that will not repeat!
