 One song May 17, 2008

Bought cd for one song. The song is on the cd so I am satified.
 give that man a spotlight !!! December 20, 2007
Andy Williams could take a song and turn it into an artistic masterpiece. His strong voice was able to convey the slightest of emotional nuances to make every song a meaningful one and a short story as well. He remains one of the greatest male vocalists of the twentieth century; and this CD gives us sixteen of his most requested songs.
"Can't Get Used To Losing You" proves this all so easily. Andy also used his own vocals to create the effect that there were two of him singing the song. The slight echo of Andy's voice on numbers including "Can't Get Used To Losing You" really impresses me. The strings also work wonders for the musical arrangement; and Andy never misses a beat! "Red Roses For A Blue Lady" features Andy singing at his very best; the arrangement places Andy squarely in the spotlight as he sings this classic love ballad. The backup vocalists harmonize to perfection and the arrangement overall lacks nothing--love that brass!
"Moon River" was one of Andy's greatest hits and most requested songs; I believe his television show often opened with part of this song. Andy delivers "Moon River" like the champ that he is and the ballad is very romantic as Andy sings it. "Born Free" gets the royal treatment; Andy's excellent diction bolsters his performance and the backup vocalists harmonize well.
I really like "Days Of Wine And Roses;" Andy sings this with panache and sensitivity. The strings help the arrangement, too. "More" is another coup for Andy who sings this with all his heart and soul. Another highlight on this fantastic album is easily "What Now My Love." "What Now My Life" features Andy's voice singing clearly and conveying all the subtle nuances of emotion to make this a powerful performance.
The album ends with "The Impossible Dream;" and it makes an excellent, strong ending for the album.
Of course, fans of Andy Williams will probably want this in their collection although it is best suited for a more casual fan. Andy's artistry is displayed very well on this album and I wonder why Andy isn't remembered the way he deserves to be remembered. Moreover, if you like classic pop vocals, you are bound to appreciate this album of just some of Andy William's most requested songs.

Being a Sinatraphile, I don't often like to venture into the domain of other "Easy Listening" singers; I generally stick with the best. However, every now and then I pop in something different just for the sake of variety. If nothing else, it makes me appreciate Sinatra that much more. But I digress. Williams has a very smooth, pleasant voice. He's not offensive, his voice is distinctive, and he has sung some good songs. Besides, he was a friend and supporter of Bobby Kennedy, so he must be a halfway decent guy. This collection is pretty solid: his signature song, "Moon River," is here; "Can't Get Used to Losing You" is a damn fine, catchy tune; "Dear Heart" and "Days of Wine and Roses" are also quite good, though my favorite song on this collection is the beautiful "Emily." There are some standards and a couple I could do without, but overall I would consider this a good buy.
You just don't hear these songs anymore...... July 20, 2005

Listening to Andy Williams brought back lots of memories. You just don't hear these songs played on free radio anymore. Now I can listen anytime I want. Great CD!
